Some fun news arrived today from Christian’s Foundations of Advanced Math professor. She recommended him for the math honors program. It would require him to take at least one really ugly class (Complex Analysis) that is not currently on his schedule. He will schedule a meeting later this week to talk about it with the professor who runs the program. If he can coordinate his current undergraduate research out of the Electrical Engineering department, I think he might go for it. Mostly it was pretty gratifying to be recommended for it half way through his Junior year.

Day 442 of 1000
I am gun shy about enaging in a political discussion with a fellow Christian these days. That seems wrong somehow. Many if not most political issues do not seem to have profound spiritual importance. How to fund the community college is generally a subject on which Christians can disagree agreeable–if you know what I mean. On the other hand, I do not understand how someone who calls themself a follower of Christ can admonish someone that abortion, traditional marriage, parental rights, and other such subjects are in the domain of politics and Christian’s can disagree about them and still be Christian. In these cases where the bible is so clear, there is no room for Christian’s to waffle. It is wrong to support politicians who support those things God hates.
My guy was not nominated this year, but my choice is clear. I did not so much vote for Romney (although I am a big Paul Ryan fan), rather I voted against the guy who supports partial birth abortion which I believe is infanticide. I also voted against the guy who wants to redefine marriage in the eyes of the law–thankfully he cannot redefine it in the eyes of God.
