Happy 2013! Many of us started the new year by making New Year's resolutions - sometimes planning with great detail and motivation - but many of us will break or downgrade those resolutions quickly.
Escalating battles over claims of conscience seem on the horizon
WASHINGTON - Let's start the new year with a conundrum as old as the Republic: When religious convictions clash with secular laws, how far should government go to accommodate religious claims of conscience?

The occasion has become a common event, and most of us treat it as just another day. But let this ...
When days are over, make sure you’re ready
The year 2012 is almost over, and Jan. 1, 2013 is on the horizon. As we prepare to say goodbye to 2012 and embrace a new year, we can look back, reflect and anticipate things to come. Many things happened in 2012 - some good and some bad; some expected and some unexpected; some gladness and some sadness. Throughout the myriad of experiences, God remained in charge. During the past year, we endured a sluggish ...
