March 22, 2005 | Posted by Steve By – Bill Everman It didn’t happen this way, but it could have: The congressman sat down across from his colleague the senator, brimming with enthusiasm. “I think I’ve got the idea that’s going to get me re-elected! Listen to this: A brand-new tax. We take a small percentage of everybody’s income up to about [...]

March 22, 2005 | Posted by Steve Alright, let me get it off my chest right from the outset. The creepiest thing about the events surrounding Terri Schiavo’s illness and the battle over her guardianship is this… I can’t imagine myself ever dating anyone, let alone raising children with another woman, as long as my wife was alive. If that makes me [...]

March 22, 2005 | Posted by Steve “Well, Steve, I don’t know quite what to say. It sounds like a fantastic offer, and you already know the company well. It’s obvious they want you to stay. All I can say is, as an old professor of mine once told me, live with no regrets. You don’t want to get to 95 years [...]

March 20, 2005 | Posted by Steve I like writing about “light†subjects. I like to have a good laugh. I really like trying to be witty, eliciting a chuckle every now and then from readers. Of course I miss on occasion and the intended chuckle falls flat. Thank God for the notion of “grace.†Today, however, I can’t be witty. I [...]

March 17, 2005 | Posted by Steve “I pledge allegiance, to the flag…” As I drove to work the other morning I was suddenly struck with a subtle irony tucked into recent court battles over the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. Whether or not we are nation “under God” is almost irrelevant. When you look at the pervasiveness of [...]

March 17, 2005 | Posted by Steve Strap yourselves in, friends. Mr. NoMoreGreed is about to get judgemental. Our beloved President has just done something that I had hoped for the better part of two years he would not do. It is unfortunately time to call him on the carpet for being callously, cynically out of touch with a Biblically consistent pro-life [...]

March 17, 2005 | Posted by Steve The cyclonic meeting on Friday morning had left me with a mixed feeling of euphoria tinged with nausea. In just three hours I had met my new colleagues, been flattered and flooded with information, and offered a job. It wasn’t the free cooked-to-order omelet in the school cafeteria I was feeling rumbling in my stomach. [...]

March 9, 2005 | Posted by Steve I really don’t want to bash Upward Basketball this week. I did enough Upward-bashing last month. If you don’t know it by now, I am heavily invested in Upward Basketball. Two out of our three kids play in the local Upward Basketball league at our church. For them it has been an astonishingly positive experience. [...]

March 9, 2005 | Posted by Steve My wife, quite rightly, is my single greatest source of accountability in this world. If I elevate myself too highly she’s right there to bring me back down to earth with a quick one-liner or piercing stare. (She’s one of the funniest people I know, especially when she’s zinging me.) When I feel like pond [...]

March 8, 2005 | Posted by Steve It’s official. I am now terrified for the future of our country. My sixth grade son understands economics better than our President, most of Congress, and even the economists advising Congress. Let me take you on a journey to explain why. But first, a confession. I am a geek. No, I mean a REAL geek. [...]
