My friend Mel Warbington shared this with me via email. This video was made and sponsored by a lingerie company in Thailand, Wacoal.

I’m always intrigued when I find biblical truths embedded in daily life. Take, for example, the old saying “What goes around, comes around!” It is one way man articulates the truth found in Galatians 6:7, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.

Last week, when the establishment GOP betrayed the faith placed in it to keep its promise to defeat ObamaCare, may have been its last chance to do so. There are excuses. ”We all voted not to support ObamaCare!” This is not a new GOP mantra. Neither is it the same thing as doing everything you [...]

There’s a new KickStart campaign out to help the President fund his war by raising $1.6T. This is no heartless 1% Republican war. This is the most Progressive war ever covering 99% of the planet with environmentally friendly bombs and hybrid tanks bringing lots of shock and lots of “Awwwww…” Why? That’s the BEST part [...]
