		<description><![CDATA[God or government?  It’s a question that I think we as a nation must ask ourselves as we stand at the crossroads of decisions that will have historic impacts on the very nature of our country for a generation or more.

		<description><![CDATA[I read a very interesting statistic a few weeks ago.  In Bernard Goldberg’s book &#8220;Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right&#8221;, he quotes a pretty startling statistic:  if you 1) graduate high school, 2) don’t have kids until you’re married, and 3) don’t get married until you’re 20 then you have only [...]]]></description>

If you haven’t read Part I yet, please take a moment to do so. In an effort to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: This was originally published in The State Newspaper, July 9, 2009.
As a Christian family man, I was disheartened to see a once-principled man choosing to risk everything in his life for a temporary thrill. How could Mark Sanford allow himself to veer so far off track? The given explanation is that Sanford’s mistress was [...]]]></description>
