Thursday, April 21, 2005I SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH BUTWhy does he choose people like Bolton for such high positions? Surely he and his staff do a better job of research and investigation that what seem now to be a bust. With such pressing needs around us, it is a shame that so much time has to be spent on confirmation hearings, then re-confirmation...

The Holy Spirit of course, but long before this date, the Holy Spirit used two men who both were nearly assasinated, and changed our world for time and maybe for eternity. Again, thank you Ronald...

History teaches us that Joseph Ratzinger is the sixth Pope Benedict and the first one in nearly one hundred years. The name Benedict is supposed to identify this new Pope with a more conciliatory tone, let us...

I can identify with this, because this summer my denomination will be electing new leaders, and we use the same wholly Trinity. With all the filibustering going on in Washington, and all the division, name calling, and blame game -- it...

Yes, as I write this post, it is Sunday now in Rome, and soon the Cardinals of the Catholic Church will begin the process of selecting a new Pope. Whether we are Catholic or not, the world does wait for the new Pope to be selected, for like John Paul II they can have a... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, April 15, 2005MY TEACHER'S NAME IS MRS. GREENBut she is not green, she's black. The previous statement was made by my son when he came home from his first day of the second grade. Why he thought we would think his teacher would be green or why he might have thought her last name would reflect her color, we have never been able to figure out;...
