I Am Not Sorry For This
Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher.
He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself.
While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth – His coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.
Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today He is a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of progress.
I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life.
James Allen Francis
That is the man I call my God and my Lord. I am not sorry for that and I never will be. I am not sorry I posted these words on this blog. I am not sorry I might have offended some of our readers. I am not sorry that I don't follow the 21st century crowd of "cool" people that adhere to Buddhism or New Age way of thinking or Agnosticism. I respectfully disagree with all those ideas and ways of life and once again, I am not sorry for that.

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, my daughter was 3 years old. As we watched the buildings collapse, I began to weep, regretting that I had brought her into a world so cruel, dangerous, and unstable. But, just as quickly as tears came to my eyes,...

Winds Of War: What Is A Moderate Muslim?
The other night I watched the movie Exodus on TV and there was one scene in it that brought home the problem with moderate Muslims. Ari Ben Canaan, a Jew played by Paul Newman, was speaking to Taha, the mukhtar or his Arab village. Taha and Ari, who lived...

A Curious Silence
Life changes, quickly these days, and things are so very different than they were just a few short years ago. Life in the early 21st century is notable for a number of aspects. People talking on or messaging one another on cell phones. Ipods zombies drifting...
