A Red State Mystic
http://emperoraf.livejournal.com
A Red State Mystic offers insight into faith and politics with a sarcastic slant. When I say, "Red State" I mean that I'm conservative -- not a Russian communist. However, I'm one of the few conservatives that listens to NPR and owns all the seasons of The West Wing on DVD. What this means, I'm not exactly sure, but feel free to drop by and see what I'm talking about.

On miracles of the heart.
I HAVE HAD the supreme privilege to be present when miracles happen. No, I'm not talking about the impressive Benny-Hinn-esque miracles, but I'm talking about the miracles of an everyday nature. These miracles are so obscure, so small that if you tur...
