Throwing Out the Baby
A friend just wrote a comment over at my Blogcatalog Group called “Christian Worldview.” I thought it was interesting so I’d like to summarize his thoughts and then write my response.

Death Panels?
I’m sure you’ve been listening to the debate about “Death Panels.” Our President has called them a Myth.

Freedom Flowing From God
