Willingham out at ND
I think the firing was wrong. He deserved to finish out the contract. I really do hope that race did not play into the decision, just ND's growing impatience with their program. My son just received a beautiful certificate signed by Willingham, congratulating my son on earning Eagle Scout. Willingham seemed like a class act and a postive for the University. I expect him to be gobled up by a Div 1 program before the New Year.

Song Meaning
Jars of Clay during there Flood Tour was one of my all time favorite concerts. I caught them at the Rosemont Theater. As far as taking Christian songs and turning them mainstreams, there are more than most people think. Songs like "Have I Told You Lately" had a big Christian feel when Van Morrison sang it, less so when Rod Stewart covered it. Was it a Christian song or secular when Stewart recorded it? I also wonder why we don't differentiate other topics like we do religion. We don't call some bands "Love Bands" or "Drug Bands" or any other topics.

Favre's 200th straight start
200 games at QB is remarkable. Not only the luck, pain tolerance, and conditioning but the talent to have a team *want* to to start 200 games.

Is it getting better?
As we spend more and more resources in Iraq, the terrorists have freer reign in other parts of the world. History will view this as a mistake. An honest mistake, but a mistake never the less.

Stem Cell Research helps paralyzed woman walk.
I acknowledge that my concerns regarding human reproduction and the resulting cells are largly a result of theological beliefs. For many issues I can seperate the "I believe this and you believe that" and keep that out of public policy. I have read several scholarly works on the subject and understand the safeguards that would be in place. However, at some level, when an egg and sperm are connected, I believe that process to be special and even sacred, even when outside the womb. I know that scientific debate would crush my intellectual argument, but it won't crush my belief. But we know what a conservative I am, so this just fits right in. :-)

The situation at catcher
No matter what happens, this was another step forward and 1/2 step back losing Olivo. Seems like we can never just take one step forward. I would like to see a veteran catcher in the mix. It may be a luxury we cannot afford,

Hero dad runs over would be rapist
At some point someone will make the point that this crazy crime victim was chasing them and they feared for their lives and started shooting to get him to stop. In other words, the robbers will claim self defense in shooting at some crazed guy trying to run them over.

And intelligent dialog is a two way street. There are real theological issues and I believe they are just as important as the medical/scientific ones. However, too many scientists dismiss the theological issues without debate and with prejudice and I agree some theologically driven people dismiss the scientific safeguards without debate and with prejudice.

Medical ethics is constantly evolving. Who could have imagined a generation ago what is possible with modern science. And who should decide the limits and what is ethical and unethical? Allowing the scientists themselves to determine for society, or allow society to determine for the scientists?
