I came across this article on CNN just a few minutes ago. I thought this was an exceptional use of the internet for helping people in need. Maybe this is also the answer to keeping more government out of our lives. What a great idea.

Merry Christmas, everyone, from Williamsburg (where we have a little bit of snow and a lot of rain). May you all have a loving, joyous and happy Christmas with many blessings!

Sometimes a song just kind of grabs you...and sometimes you are not even sure why. It might be the melody, the instruments, or the lyrics. And sometimes it may be only a portion of any of those that just strike a chord with you. At least that is what happens to me. I like a song titled Sweet Forgiveness for lots of reasons. But here is the last verse....I am not dr

Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings to everyone!

I am reading a book, Founding Faith (How Our Founding Fathers Forged a Radical New Approach to Religious Liberty) by Steven Waldman.

Here is another article I found interesting. Written by someone with a libertarian bent.

I recently discovered a website by Steve Kangas. I knew nothing about him but read a few of his posts and thought he made a lot of sense.

Has anyone else read them? I went berserk at the bookstore today! LOL Also got one titled The Noticer by Andy Andrews. Also got one by Anwar Sadat's wife. That

I just finished reading a pretty amazing book (and found out my sister had read it and loved it too!). It is titled If I Live to Be 100 and is by Neenah Ellis, formerly a staff producer for NPR's All Things Considered. It was amazing and also a little terrifying to read these short interviews with people 100 or older. One of the excerpts from the back of the

Now I am really confused. Read this article. Is this the way you guys perceived Paul's stand?

I have been doing a lot of reading about the Federal Reserve (after comments from Ron and Chris made me more curious). I would like to hear what difference it would make to go back to a gold standard and what are the actual issues with the Federal Reserve. Most of the interest they make goes back to the Treasury. A small percentage is left for shares/dividends. How, exac

Here is a good article. I like that he starts out quoting Bastiat. I would rather look at taxation from a perspective of law and justice and common sense than from a religious perspective. I find it hard to explain why tho.
