I can hardly imagine the cognitive disassociation necessary. Here’s a controversy from London; women are upset that, after an abortion, the hospital burns the aborted fetuses in the hospital incinerator.

Facing the Giants was a wonderful surprise movie this afternoon. I just don’t know why I hadn’t heard of it before this week. It’s the story of a small Christian school’s football team, and their triumph over defeat by placing their trust in God instead of man. So many wonderful Christian examples of how to [...]

Dear Abby; My next door neighbor seems a bit on edge, perhaps mentally unstable. He says he’s about to test a nuclear weapon. What should I do? South Korea
