With the historic Iraqi elections that took place yesterday, I thought this cartoon would be appropriate. The Iraqi turnout is estimated to be 60-70% of the population (see update). America’s recent election which was the highest in 36 years had a turnout of just under 60%. I think Iraq is sending a clear message to […]
The Calvin Challenge: Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God

How does 2-4% of the population generate such support? John Piper has a good article on tolerance that he wrote back on […]

LEMOORE - Hold the shopping for that pretty dress and don’t reserve the limo yet. This year’s Lemoore High School junior/senior prom has been canceled.
According to LHS Principal Jim Bennett, the decision was not an easy one to make.
