what i’m reading

I’m ashamed to admit that I’m nowhere nearly as conversant in world affairs as I used to be. Growing up in my house, you had no choice: it was the dinner table conversation. But since I’ve moved to Ohio, no one else wants to talk about it, and, since world politics aren’t something I can impact, I’ve slipped from my long-held position that Christians have a responsibility to be consistently current on the news so that they can present a different perspective, one based on an eternal view, instead of temporal.

Some saltshaker I am.

But I do read the news, sometimes. And political blogs, both right and left. This is what I’m reading today:

All I’d say is that Jews have always known life is dangerous, but that shouldn’t prevent a nation from doing the right thing — which in this case, is a legal return to a historic homeland, to which they gained the right through gift, purchase, and victories in defensive wars.
