Our election from a fresh and different perspective
Posted on 06. Nov, 2008 by Kenny.
My good friend Joel Hayslip, whois a missionary to Burkina Faso, West Africa wrote an amazing post on the election. He’s been in Africa now for five years, but happened to be in the US this summer and fall and was able to experience all of the politiacal campaign. Since he’s no longer a resident of the United States (but still a citizen), he had quite an interesting perspective. I thought I’d share it with you here.… Read the rest

Another option this November

I’m not going to spend much, if any, time talking about politics on this blog. However, I thought that you might just be interested in an alternative to both Obama or McCain. It could happen!
