Conservative Christians doubt the genuineness of liberal search for Christian values. While conservative Christians see personal morality, enforced by law...
You watch Fox News - “We love President Trump.” You watch MSNBC or CNN - “We hate President Trump.” Is there any other news going on in the world that isn’t about Trump? I swear, if the World Trade Center had come down yesterday, the top story today in the mainstream media would be all about Donald Trump. What did he do wrong or not do? Say or not say? While Trump and his daily reality TV show have become a profit center for the media, the rest of us can’t even mention his name. Trump has b...

Airy Road," but months later I entered "Mount Airy Road." Sorry: Your answer does not match our records for this...

I really miss my grandkids. I miss them running up to me in church shouting, “Papa, I here!” I miss hearing Isaiah’s loud belly laugh when I zoomed him through the air like an airplane. I miss Auggie’s dancing blue eyes when he’d run towards me saying, Papa, papa, papa!” I guess I just wish they were closer by, like right next to me. I wonder what Jesus’ disciples were saying to one another as they were gathered together after Jesus’ death. “ Remember the time when everyone was jeering and shouting accusations at the adulterous woman...
