FOX: FAIR AND BALANCE OR DECEPTIVE AND DISHONEST
Wow, what a revelation from ABC tonight. If it is all true, then as the title of the program asserts, there has been a fallen idol, but the fallen idol is Fox Television network, not Courtney Clark. As I sit here on my lakeside cottage deck reflecting on what I saw on television, I wonder what will...

TODAY WILL BE A SOULSEARCHING DAY FOR ME
As I sit on my deck watching the sun rise gently above the tree line, I ask myself the question -- Is this right? Last night I was at a World Missions rally, and I saw the great need of countries like Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua, and my heart broke. Yes, I am enjoying my journey toward...

GIVE RUN AWAY BRIDE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT?
I don't know what will be the final result of the runaway bride story, but one thing should come out of it, and that is that marriage should not be taken lightly. In a society where Hollywood makes so little of the marriage commitment, it is nice to see someone realizing that marriage is an awesome...

DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR COLD FEET?
As I sit on my deck in my rocking chair, and watch the sun go down, I reflect on the run away bride story. Why are we so interested? Yes, we were interested when it was a possible abduction, but why are we so interested now? Could it be because most of us can identify with her -- we have all had...

THE JOY OF LIVING, THE PAINFUL REALITY OF DYING
Hannah is fourteen years old, and even as I write, she is fighting for her life in a comatose situation. Just six months ago, she would greet me each morning with a big smile and an enthusiastic commitment to a new school day. Now, she can not speak, and I have to painfully along with her family...

DREAMING BACK TO PERSONAL REALITY
As I sit on the deck of my lakeside cottage, (in my dreams of course) and look out at the beautiful sunrise (actually, I am typing this on my office computer at work, and we have thunderstorms) my heart is lifted beyond its present heavy burdens. Things aren't going well for me, and for others, and...
