Yesterday, our professor talked about condemnation or eminent domain. Most of us in the class disagreed with the court’s ruling in Kelo v. City of New London, which expanded the government’s use of eminent domain. Our professor had fun with that case. He showed us pictures of the area, pictures of the houses that didn’t… Read More »
Humans are tempted to sway to extremes. We are like pendulums, tending to sway to one side or the other. In contrast, God is a firm foundation. Christians must find their ballast in God’s word.

Today we had to argue our case before three judges in a mock court. I think I did pretty well. In hindsight, there was one question I could have answered more fully. (I could have shared a case in Virginia which stated that a general knowledge of conditions wouldn’t establish contributory negligence as a matter… Read More »
Tonight, we lost our basketball game, 50 to 47. If we “would have” won, we would have beaten an undefeated team. I wanted to win so badly! It’s in times like these that I need to remind myself that God is in complete control– what happened was God’s will. I can be sad that I… Read More »
This weekend was really refreshing. I went to a retreat in Asheville, NC, put on by the Christian Legal Society. The food at the retreat center was excellent. On Saturday, I impressed myself by skiing down a pretty steep slope. This was my second time skiing. If only someone had videotaped me when I tumbled… Read More »
