Evangelicals for Mitt is rapidly becoming one of my favorite blogs. The writing is interesting and well-done, and the bloggers are unrepentant about their support for Mormon Mitt Romney.
This post quotes Ezra to show that the Lord works even though “unbelievers” such as Cyrus so there is no reason not to support Mitt even though he is not a traditional Christian.
I think this is a very thought-provoking quotation:
“I believe that never before in the history of the Church has there been more unity than exists among my Brethren of the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve, and the other General Authorities of the Church, who have been called and chosen and who are now guiding the Church.
An article in yesterday’s USA Today contains results of a religion survey. The finding they found most findworthy? 91.8% of those surveyed say they believe in God, a higher power, or a cosmic force, but they had four distinct views of God’s personality and engagement in human affairs: Authoritarian, Benevolent, Critical or Distant.
I used to like Harry Reid. I really did. Lately his rhetoric has been quite over the top, but I figured “well, he’s just pandering to his base. Bush does that all the time.”
But now, now he has threatened censorship over a “docudrama” (no one expects docudramas to be 100% historically accurate, so the claim that some events in the movie didn’t really happen don’t work, since that’s an expected part of the genre).
What is going on?
This story seems to be making the rounds on the net (again – it first surfaced a few months ago, though I somehow missed it then).
The football committee of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which governs high school sports, is adopting a “score management” policy that will suspend coaches whose teams win by more than 50 points.
This reminded me of two experiences in High School (one of which was a major life lesson to me), and got me thinking about the uses and abuses of competition.
