Pride and Poverty
Saturday, November 24th, 2007Few stories I read will touch me like those dealing with children or the elderly.
When I hear people complain about the “things” they don’t have or the raise which wasn’t quite as large as they had hoped, (so in many cases they can go buy more things), it serves as a reminder that [...]
Can you squeeze in one extra prayer today?
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007A few weeks ago, Mrs. Greyhawk requested prayers for a family who was in real need:

Another revelation from one of the worst crimes against humanity in world history
Sunday, September 16th, 2007With all that has been written over the years about the Holocaust and its victims, the amount of history to be yet uncovered is no doubt staggering.

Monday, August 20th, 2007While I admit that I am conflicted when it come to the death penalty, there are times when I feel it is completely appropriate.

When Mary Winkler confessed and was convicted of killing her husband many thoughts were offered as to her punishment. While I might have personal feelings on the topic of murder, [...]
The Harshness of Realism
Sunday, July 1st, 2007Once again we are presented with a brilliant piece from Michael Yon, but the photos included are the most violent to date.
They are a clear reminder of what these monsters who call themselves men (Al Qaeda) are capable of. Please proceed with caution as you read. The pictures to which I refer begin [...]
WTC Heroes Getting Blood Cancers at Alarming Rate
Thursday, May 31st, 2007OK, I looked for this article in the NY Times and Washington Post but the only place I could find it was here, which is actually a NY Post story on the Fox web site. I quit reading the NY Post a while back because they changed formats and seemed to be more [...]
One Father’s Words
Saturday, May 5th, 2007Darrell Scott who lost his daughter Rachel and whose son was injured that fateful day eight years ago at Columbine High School, accepted an invitation to speak before a House Judiciary sub-committee just a month later.
I do not recall this hearing or Mr. Scott’s compelling testimony, (there may be those who do), but whether [...]
