If I Were Kathy’s Friend

If I were Kathy Griffin’s friend, I’d want to be by her side now. It must be tough. Most people by now have seen the horrible picture and video. It was bad. Really, bad. She has apologized. But it won’t be easy. I hope she has some good friends by her side at this moment. […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Does the Constitution Allow That?

  The Trinity Lutheran v. Comer religious liberty case at the Supreme Court exposes the pernicious way some government officials have institutionalized hostility towards religious people under the guise of constitutional requirement.  The state of Missouri tried to avoid the consequences of its arguments, but even the liberal members of the Court pressed on the […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Police & Fire Protection

  I recently told you about a rally we had at the Supreme Court for an important religious liberty case, Trinity Lutheran v. Comer.  This was the case where the government discriminated against a school just based on their religion. We stood for religious freedom on the steps outside the court, but inside the court, […]

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. — 1 John 3:16   All gave some… Some gave all. Join CWA as we remember those who have died defending our country and our freedoms. Let us pause to […]

Memorial Day: Were it Not for America

This morning I attended the small town funeral of a World War II veteran.  He served in the Air Force B-24 Bomber Squadron, 8th Air Force, England.  Watching the presentation of the flag to his widow, a British war bride (they were married 66 years), I was deeply touched once again by what these brave […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Israel and the Promised Land

  In 2013, I made my first visit to Israel where I was forever changed.  I dare say no one can walk into Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum, and not be marked forever.  Even more than the Holocaust museum in Washington, it is a reminder of our responsibility in world affairs. It is also a […]

Under President Trump, the U.S. Returns to Honoring Life Globally

One of the things President Donald Trump should be most proud of from his short time in the White House is his decision to move the U.S. away from the hideous business of promoting abortion-on-demand around the world. On Jan. 23, 2017, just three days after his swearing-in ceremony, President Trump reinstated what has been […]

How long, O Lord?

Most times I am outraged, really incensed, at the evil that is abortion.  I get angry at the debasement of the very image of God.  The way outside forces prey on vulnerable women for their personal and corporate profit. Sometimes a sense of the reality of the sin we are committing as a nation weighs […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Women and Sharia Law

  Here is a blunt discussion you’ll find in my book, Feisty & Feminine: A Rallying Cry for Conservative Women, that you’ll likely not hear from your modern-day feminist. The status of women in Islamic society is horrifying.  The abuse of women, really, around the world is heartbreaking. But for all their fight for women’s […]

To the Women Who Trusted Planned Parenthood

As I was driving into D.C. today, I was struck by how many “Help After Abortion” stickers I saw. Don’t get me wrong; it’s fantastic to get the word out about a post-abortion service through a bumper sticker, but I started to think about the pro-life movement’s relationship with the women to whom these bumper […]

Manchester Reminds Us the Church Must Be Engaged

At least 22 died yesterday and another 120 more were injured (so far) after a bomb detonation at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.  It is an incredible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and they are also against the forces of evil behind this attack. We often […]

Our One Motivation

As women who are concerned for America, why do we do what we do? Why support lobbying efforts, write letters to Congress, make phone calls to the White House, and give our money to support these endeavors?  And why do we pray? It’s because we know the one true God. We support human life from […]
