Now, McLean Bible Church is not as big as Joel Osteen’s church, but with four campuses and several different worship options at each campus, it is nothing to sneeze at. In my opinion, it is far too big ... http://toddmthurman.net/blog/2008/11/30/mega-churches/ John McCain ran one of the worst Presidential Campaigns that I have ever seen. It seems almost like he did not want to win. Sure, there was an uphill battle, but there was so much more he could have done to make it close, or even possibly win. 1. I live ... http://toddmthurman.net/blog/2008/11/05/why-mccain-lost/ I hate that I keep having to write posts that are so political because I know some of my readers have sharp differences in opinion, and I hate for politics to get in the way of friendships, but this is time I must say something.

But, I was featured on the blog of Rep. Eric Cantor's personal blog because he spoke at The Conservative Blogger's Briefing at work today. I'm in the purple tie. 5th from the left. Seated next to me is John Fund from the Wall Street ... http://toddmthurman.net/blog/2008/09/09/im-famous/ Ah, August baseball. the time of the year when the Braves have already wrapped up the division and have put the scrubs in to get a taste of the show.
