I spent the day preparing and hand delivering a letter to the Twin Falls County Courthouse to express my hope that this county will stay with the strong historic language of “Husband” and “Wife” on the license application. (Here are my thoughts on this matter earlier today.) The kind and helpful ladies in the county…
A Castrated Language Is A Weaker Language
By the grace of God, Idaho did not begin issuing marriage licenses to ‘same-sex’ couples this morning. By the way, if you were planning to get your marriage license today, I would encourage you to look closely at the language on the application. If it has the words “Applicant A” and “Applicant B” instead of…

The Mirage of Same-Sex Marriage
In her statement released on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 U.S. Magistrate Judge Candy Dale said, “After careful consideration, the Court finds Idaho’s Marriage Laws unconstitutional.” (full ruling) I thought that I should read the ruling before offering a response.

Tortured by Thirst
6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.For waters will break forth in the wildernessAnd streams in the [desert].7 The scorched land (mirage) will become a poolAnd the thirsty ground springs of water;In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,Grass becomes reeds and rushes.

Misrepresented and Maligned
“If any man shall get up to heaven what a demand for courage he will have to meet! How many enemies he must face! How much ridicule he must endure! How frequently must he be misrepresented and maligned! How often must he be discreet enough to be silent, and anon, bold enough…
The Mother of My Sons
Renee is a mom with a level moral compass and a tender heart. I have much to be thankful to the Lord for and the fact that Renee is the mother of our two sons is among the top things I am thankful to the Lord for. Renee gave our boys the skills to be…
Mothers Day, Mother’s Day or Mothers’ Day
I suppose it matters to all grammarians, but my greater questions when I look at a picture like this with my mom are… Where did we get those white belts? They may need to make a comeback. Did we all have the same barber? Has dad ever not had that facial hair? Did that dog…
