Yesterday we inaugurated a new President of the United States of America. Please join me in praying for Barack Obama.

America is a great nation. It’s not perfect. It’s great though. I can go almost anywhere and feel safe. Countless fanatics want to take our freedom, but since 9/11 our government and armed forces have prevented that from happening. Some have criticized our military, yet they willingly put their lives at risk to protect our [...]

Today I join with my fellow Americans to wish our nation a happy 230th birthday. I’m proud to be an American, to live in the greatest country on the planet.

We spent Memorial Day at Burger’s Lake today. It was a great day of fun, sun, water, and kabobs on the grill.

I’ve been to Washington once, but never made it to the Iwo Jima Memorial. Never knew it was there to be honest with you. Next time I go, I’ll see it. I’ll take Caleb when he’s old enough. We’ll walk down the rows of tombstones in Arlington National cemetery. We’ll talk about freedom. We’ll talk about why freedom is so magnificent. We’ll talk about why it must be protected.

Here is a funny Op-Ed article that I ran across recently. Thought you’d like it. This guy is British and writes for the London Telegraph. Could Kerry slum it in the White House?

You’ve gotta love the Iraqi Information Minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. He’s a man who is unflappable, undeterred, and unpersuaded. He knows what he knows, and he sticks by what he knows. Take these quotes for example:God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis.Our initial assessment is that they will all die.Faltering [...]
