Mr. Turner was interesting, but he disappointed me with his “spin” on Matthew 24. Seems like the gist of his message was that, when he’s really challenged by alternate/competing philosophies or moments of doubt, he rests his faith in the prophecies of the Bible. Funny how Jesus could be clearly explaining things that would come …

A grand idea?
Friends, Several years ago, I dreamed up an idea to counter the misinformation routinely propagated about Arabs in general, and Muslims in particular. Some of you asked about the state of the project last week at the DC reunion, and reiterated how badly it was needed. Others asked my parents about it the week before …

I saw you this morning on MSNBC and when asked what you are currently reading, you mentioned “Beyond Iraq” by Mike Evans. Very disappointing. An excerpt from Publishers Weekly says this: With the Bible’s various …

Amazing Grace
Thanks for sending the review, it was very interesting. To me, it sounds like the biggest beef the writer has is that the movie isn’t the one he wanted it to be.

For your consideration
Good letter, but the worst of it is the massive loss of Iraqi life, the mass exodus of Iraq’s best-educated and experienced citizens, the unending lack of basic civil infrastructure throughout Iraq, and (worst of all for us Americans who don’t really care about anyone but lily-white Anglo-Christians) the establishment of a “terrorism incubator” that will hatch …

How bad is it?
If you’re wondering what Prince George has wrought in the hinterland, far from his royal throne, read the following guest editorial that appeared in our local paper last Saturday. It was written by a federal government employee, the current superintendent of Hot Springs National Park (http://www.nps.gov/hosp/). I’m still mulling over a response, but I already …
