My Second Birthday Matters Even More

TweetMy wife and I turn 33 today. Yes, we were born the same day, 500 miles apart, and she has a twin brother, Josh. I will point out that I’m about nine hours older, so I get to be the leader! We mark birthdays as milestones, as if surviving another year is a great accomplishment. [...]

The Nightline Debate: Proving the Existence of God

TweetLast night, millions watched the debate between Kelly and Brian Sabient (representing atheism) and Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron (attempting to prove God’s existence without using faith or the Bible).
