Mini Movie/TV reviews.. Over my vacation, I discovered Google Play on my Android, and it’s shaping up to be a really solid streaming choice for film and television geeks like me. Disclaimer: I watch a lot of film and television because I produce the stuff and I learn from other craftsmen (with bigger budgets!), but..
Some hip young believers are likely to claim they are “citizens of the world,” and followers of Christ first and grudging citizens of their nations second. Be on guard against that kind of stupidity. It’s dangerous. The facts are simple. Christ put you in a home, in a family, in a village, in a county,..
Can someone please tell me how all of this works? Megyn Kelly begins her questioning of Republican candidate Donald Trump with this question: “..You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals..” When Trump replies, getting a laugh with a Rosie O’Donnell joke, Megyn won’t be put off.

You should pay very close attention to what disgusts you. Mind you, I’m not saying you should seek to be disgusted. Far from it. We’re encouraged to find that which is “lovely and praiseworthy,” but that implies something: you were given an internal meter for measuring these things–by God Himself.

So sue me — a Monkees tune can make me fight back the tears.. I had good cause. I was driving home after dropping off my 19 year old son, Samuel, at the airport. My fourteen year old son was navigating for me, and setting my old-guy play list to auto-shuffle, and — oh..
