Guess what – it’s Response-to-Comments Day…Part II

When I said in Part I that other comments needed to wait, I forgot to mention that I wasn’t even done with TAPS’ comment! As I was walking my doggie, I was also mulling over her question, “ Is this true of Muslim acts of savagery and their teachings?" I was asking myself: Did she mean to suggest...

Guess what – it’s Response-to-Comments Day...Part I

Often there are comments that just must be answered – so it is again today, even if some of them are several days old. I may actually not get around to answering all of them today – sometimes I end up getting deeper into things than I had intended. Hence I shall not quote them all now but start with...

You’ll just have to watch this – a feel-good story…

Matty is coming home … You may recall that I posted about Brent Grommet, the American soldier wounded in Afghanistan who had his dog Matty taken from him, and also that the two friends were reunited. Here’s the link to the video that shows their meeting after more than a year of separation…... Sign in to see full entry.

“People are stupid” – Jonathan Gruber

By now everyone has heard about the Obamacare ‘architect’s’ view of ‘people,’ and I have no intention to dwell on it beyond suggesting it was a particularly stupid remark on many levels, coming from someone who should know better – namely that ‘people’ are not stupid, though they may be uninformed!...

Really Good News - the Doggie is back!

Remember my post a few days ago, telling you about the injured American soldier whose dog was spirited away by an officer more than a year ago? Well, here’s the follow up: ‘Stolen’ war dog back in the US and reunited with veteran Matty’s back! Days after The Post exposed the military’s wrongful,... Sign in to see full entry.

First a response to a comment, and next some good news…

I had several interesting comments to my post on the Muslim service at the Washington Cathedral, but the one that intrigued me most was Pat’s, who writes: “ The answer that jumped into my mind after I read your question was: What would Jesus do? I think he might welcome them with wine and food,... Sign in to see full entry.

Serious question for our American Christians…

In fact, this is a question to all our Americans: How do you feel about the use of your National Cathedral in Washington for an ‘unprecedented Muslim worship service?’ I am really, truly interested in your answer! I know how I would feel even as a non-Christian, if such event were to take place at a... Sign in to see full entry.

Please read this - A (very sad) Doggie Story…

You know I like dogs, and that I love my dog. If you have ever had a dog as a companion you have experienced the special and completely mutual bond that develops between the two of you, and even if you have never had a dog I’m sure you can understand it. And you also know the pain of loss,... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections…

Yesterday much of the world paused for a while and tried to commemorate – to remember together – those who had fought and died in those two wars which marked the end of an era and whose echoes are still with us to this day… Remembrance Day here in Canada, Veterans’ Day in the United States,...

Straight from a camel’s mouth…

The following is a debate on the ‘problem’ of women’s driving. It's hilarious! But while it makes for levity, when it comes to Islam, there's always a dark side, unfortunately... Among other things, it demonstrates that ‘Islamic research’ (which of course is not really Islamic, as Obama would assure... Sign in to see full entry.
