A friend of mine is trying to slow down her daughter who is making an important decision. The daughter doesn’t want to wait even though waiting makes more sense and would allow the family to better plan and prepare. As we talked about the frustration of dealing with delays, we acknowledged how bad Americans are when it comes to waiting for things. We are used to instant everything.
The balance of power in the U.S. Senate could shift come November. Will Harry Reid and the Democrats maintain control of the upper chamber? Or will Republicans be able to capitalize on their 2010 gains and a poor economy to elevate Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader?
At this point, it’s safe to say it’s too close to call. Both parties had races that at one time or another looked like bankable wins. But a series of missteps and miscalculations has made this a stress-inducing, ulcer-producing, coronary-clogging competitive fight.
Egyptian Christians say they'll be fasting and praying this week and they're asking us to join in.
With the rise to power of the Islamists, prayer for Egyptian Christians may be more crucial now than ever.
Here are just some recent developments:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.N. General Assembly Thursday and took the world to school. For months, Netanyahu has talked about the need to draw a "red line" on Iran's nuclear program. In a brilliant move Netanyahu pulled out a simple diagram of a bomb in the middle of his address and drew a literal "red line."
The diagram looked like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon. As if he was teaching a class, he pointed to the picture and started with the basics:
Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition has now begun dropping their presidential voter guide into key battleground states.
They are sending it out to roughly 17 million social conservatives that they have identified in their extensive voter file. It is being delivered by mail, email, text message, to churches, and door-to-door.
When people receive the voting guide in the mail, they can scan the barcode into their smart phone where a video begins to play that sums up the candidates positions on the issues.
About one-third of the American population is reported to have some type of mental illness each year. But keep in mind, these are only the people who are reporting their problem. A slightly lower number, one-fourth of the population, has a mental health issue that is either moderate or severe.
As we all know, mental illness reaches well beyond the person with it and touches the lives of everyone that person comes in contact with, especially family members.
Tonight on The BlazeTV, the groundbreaking two-part documentary, "The Project," debuts.
"The Project" exposes a strategy document—captured by Swiss authorities during a raid of the home of a global Muslim Brotherhood operative in 2001--which details the Brotherhood and other Islamists’ “grand jihad” to methodically subvert and ultimately, take over, the United States and the West.
As recent events show, their plan is working to perfection.
Part 1 of "The Project" airs tonight at 8 p.m. EST. Part 2 airs tomorrow night, Sept. 27, also at 8 p.m. EST.
Today, perhaps for the last time, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will address the General Assembly of the United Nations. Once again, it’s expected Ahmadinejad will – as he has for years – delegitimize, demonize, and threaten the nation of Israel.
For example, on Monday, he said “… they (Israelis) have been occupying those territories for the last 60 to 70 years, with the support and force of the Westerners. They have no roots in history.” In 2005, he called Israel a “tumor” and longed for the day Israel would be “wiped off the map.”
On this week's episode of the Stakelbeck on Terror show, we're joined by Middle East analyst Michael Widlanski to examine the real reasons behind the recent anti-American riots across the Muslim world.
We also show how you can personally help Israel prepare for the threats gathering against it.

My beautiful five-year-old daughter Myley reminds me of the ocean. She is full of life like the ocean and so complex and deep. However, we never know if she will be serene, as calm as the most peaceful waters, or if suddenly we will be faced with fierce ups and downs. Myley has explosive tantrums when she does not get her way. Her will is a strong rip tide. She wants things a certain way and to be able to do what she wants when she wants.
