A Name Only Means So Much

  • Uncategorized

A name only means so much.  As creepy and insightful as numerology and astrology can be, someone’s name can only tell you so much.  For example, take “Eric Goranson.”  No, not me.  This Eric Goranson.  I have interacted with other “Eric Goransons” around the country […]

A Tiny Retrospective

  • Personal Stories

The last time I posted was on November 25 so here is a tiny retrospective on my month and my year.  Crazy how time flies.  Here’s the scoop: I spent the 27th and 28th in Rochester, MN accompanying my grandfather to Mayo Clinic to have […]

Amusing Church Marketing

  • Uncategorized

There is a real lack of amusing church marketing.  This is because churches shouldn’t market – they should tell the Truth, love their neighbors, and take care of practical needs.  That’s church marketing enough. But once in a while you see a church or a […]

The Salvation Army On Abortion *Updated*

  • Faith

The Salvation Army’s position on abortion is horribly weak.  They begin by stating that life begins at “fertilization,” it is a “gift from God,” and that “All people – without exception – are of value to him…” They finish their statement with a great statement […]

Haters Gonna Hate

  • Faith

My son informed me that a child at school hears stories at home from their parent(s) about how I’m a compromiser, I’m weak, and that I’m not good at my job. This child, according to Kyle, doesn’t quite know what to think about all that. […]

Stop The Common Core Standards

  • Education

The Common Core Standards are dangerous.  Jane Robbins of the American Principles Project is featured in this awesome video series called “Stop The Common Core.”  Embedded below is the first of five videos on the subject.  You owe it to yourself, your kids, and your […]

How Then Should We Advocate?

  • Faith

The 2012 Election is behind us.  Now the question remains:  whether as an active citizen or a professional activist, how then should we advocate for the things we care about after any election result?  I’ve written about much of this before but wanted to get some additional […]

Some Post-Election Thoughts

  • Politics

Since I work in politics and public policy, I’ve had some people ask me for some post-election thoughts. Regarding the Federal election results: I feel the same way I did a month ago.  We’re screwed, at least in the short term.  Neither party will be […]

The Big Election Day Decision

  • Politics

The big election day decision everyone has to make is whether to vote for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or write-in or vote for a candidate with zero chance of winning.  Although I sympathaze with Evangelicals who do not want to support Mitt Romney, I […]
