I made kefta tonight! Sure brought back memories… We went to the farmer’s market Saturday morning and I bought a pound of ground lamb from a man who has a farm on Petit Jean Mountain. He told me most American farmers raise a different kind of lamb, but that his was the same kind I …

Europeans, and perhaps most Americans along the two coasts, have been more or less secular for so long that they probably can’t understand the depth or political clout of the religious mythology surrounding Israel. It has completely trumped rational thought. It is bad theology and it’s definitely bad foreign policy, but this bizarre love affair …

Thanks. Very interesting. Finally, a few Americans are starting to get a clue how dangerously wacky this premillennial stuff is. Kinda funny when it’s a bunch of hillbillies playing with snakes. Not so funny when it dictates foreign policy and kills hundreds of thousands and dispossesses millions more. Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 2:37 PM …

That, or I’m in a free-fall towards the left fringe of …

I saw you on TV a few weeks ago (June 20 on MSNBC) when Joe Scarborough asked you what books you are reading. While it was refreshing to hear that you are reading, unlike the current president, I was very disappointed when you mentioned “Beyond Iraq” by Mike Evans. An excerpt from Publishers Weekly says …

Mr. Turner was interesting, but he disappointed me with his “spin” on Matthew 24. Seems like the gist of his message was that, when he’s really challenged by alternate/competing philosophies or moments of doubt, he rests his faith in the prophecies of the Bible. Funny how Jesus could be clearly explaining things that would come …
