    The Protestant Revolution

    I don't know if anyone else has seen it, but BBC Four recently aired a documentary by historian, Tristram Hunt and I was fortunate enough to have someone provide me with a DVD of the complete series.

    O Tannenbaum

    When will everyone put up their tree and decorate for Christmas? We don't put ours up the day after Thanksgiving, but I do like to have my decorations out by the first of December. I figure if I'm going to all that trouble, I want to be able to enjoy it for a while and long enough to ensure...

    ELCA Pastor fails to mention Christ

    Watching the convocation at Virginia Tech yesterday I was appalled that in an opportunity to reach out to a hurting audience waiting to find comfort in the message from the Christian representative he made no mention of Jesus or God. He did not cite Scripture or offer prayer even after following...

    Help y'all!

    Who'd of thunk at 42, after being catiously single for 8 years and almost giving up hope, that I'd have men competing for my affection? I am comfortably moving forward with the most wonderful man who, I feel, God has brought to me for a variety of reasons, and I am joyfully content at the...
