Two Republicans, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have formally announced that they are running for President. I watched both speeches and last week gave a review of Ted Cruz.
Last Tuesday, April 7, Rand Paul announced his candidacy in a speech in Louisville, Kentucky. His opening statement laid out the overall strategy of his campaign. “We have come to take our country back!”

Two Republicans, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have formally announced that they are running for President. I had some time today to watch both speeches.
An announcement speech reveals the major platform of a candidate and why he or she has chosen to throw a hat in the ring. I will offer a review and comparison each in two different articles.

Christians are sometimes called intolerant. You may be surprised to learn that I agree. Christians can be intolerant, obnoxious, bigoted, hypocritical, and a list of other appropriate adjectives to describe human behavior.
by I first saw the post on Facebook from Erick Erickson. Then Todd Rehm wrote about it in his morning update in the Georgia Pundit. On the last day of the session, a conference committee sent a bill (SB 127) that regulates anyone spending money on any “election advocacy and election targeted issue advocacy.”
Section 19 of the bill targets “any communication made at any time that: (A) Contains express words, such as ‘vote,’ ‘oppose,’ ‘support,’ ‘elect,’ ‘defeat,’ or ‘reject’, …. (B) Otherwise refers to or depicts one or more clearly identified candidates, political parties or bodies, or constitutional amendments, referenda, or other questions submitted to the voters.”
by We are tired of it. Georgians who call themselves people of faith, for the most part Christian evangelicals, are tired of it. We are tired of being labeled as hateful, prejudiced, and a host of other insults thrown at us by a minority in our state. The same ones who shout for open mindedness and diversity display close-minded, hypocritical behavior. We are tired of it.
We are tired of hearing big business and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce raise
by I read the bill and it is a simple and straight forward acknowledgement of what we now know about life in a mother’s womb. The bill does not go as far as I would like. Public policy is affected one step at a time and even baby steps are better than no steps.

by The Kennesaw City Council turned down an application from the Suffa Dawat Center to operate a prayer center in an area zoned for retail business. Several months ago in another area, the city approved similar application for a church. A city spokesperson said that the other area was zoned differently.
I oppose the decision of the city of Kennesaw. Yes, you read that correctly.
by In 1620 a group of 104 members of a congregation booked passage on the Mayflower to go to the new world. The pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving a year later.
What happened to the group during the first year may be surprising.
by A vivid memory sticks in my head from my childhood days. I was learning to tie my shoes. I watched my mother tie them with ease for me. Now she was teaching me to do it myself.
I fumbled with the laces and after many frustrating attempts, I was no closer. I cried out, “I cain’t do this!” (intentionally spelled the way my accent sounds.) My mother responded with three simple words that somehow stuck in my mind, “Cain’t never could.”
