Listen to the commentary I felt a little bad: last Monday was a holiday – with New Year’s Day celebrated on the 2nd – and I asked you to do some heavy-lifting. Maybe your out-of-office response piled the Point of View into the “later” file. If this conversation didn’t happen last week, dive back and

Listen to the commentary It’s Monday, but it’s not just any Monday.

Listen to the commentary   In about four weeks, you can expect to hear the same line echoing in homes across America: “When are we going to open our presents?” Family traditions may split between Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning, but there’s no chance the wrappings will be untouched by the 26th… Imagine how God

Listen to the commentary The power of the press for the next few weeks will be split between the life-or-death Senate rematch in Georgia and the life-or-death selection of Christmas gifts for the people in your circle.
