Four nuns were arrested in India for visiting aids patients: On June 25, four members of the Missionaries of Charity in India — best known as the organization formerly led by Mother Teresa — were visiting AIDS patients in a hospital in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh when they were accosted by Hindu militants. As many as…

My husband hurt his back on Sunday. He slept on it wrong and then he spent the day on his feet at church (he had usher duties, he’s a deacon). It’s starting to lessen but it still hurts and he is supposed to take the kids camping this weekend. Please pray that he will be…

I must be cranky because I am again moved to humor and not sympathy for the plight of others. But when you get what you deserve, sow what you reap, I don’t have much sympathy. Case in point: But in New York’s 11th District, Yassky’s candidacy has touched off a controversy about race and turned…

This little girl must have been sooooo happy: President Bush’s motorcade made an unscheduled U-turn and stop – at a lemonade stand – while speeding to the airport after Friday’s fund-raiser in Ohio for Republican Sen. Mike DeWine. After all, how could the president pass by a young girl sporting pink sunglasses and a sign…

There is a new book out that helps to answer that question. It was written by a WTS Ph.D. graduate and associate professor of church history at Covenant Theological Seminary and is meant to be a popular treatment of the distinctives of Presbyterianism. I think I’m going to get a copy for my daughters since…

Local 54, a union that represents 16,000 casino workers. There are approximately 45,000 full-time and part-time workers at the city’s 12 casinos, and,…

And we have an “obsession” with it too: “It’s a little strange, this obsession of the flag,” French author Bernard-Henri Levy wrote after traveling across the country. “Everywhere, in every form, flapping in the wind or on stickers, an epidemic of flags that has spread throughout the city,” Levy wrote in “American Vertigo” of the…

The Blogging Chicks Blogroll Metablog is finally done! It took me forever but I’m done and now I’m happy with it and will rest from redesigning my blogs for a little while (I hope, anyway). I used a Gecko & Fly template again since they are so easy to work with. They write their templates…

The new and improved Metablog is up. It took me forever!!!! I had to move stuff around and change font colors and it took me forever to do the title bar graphic. But I actually like it a lot. I used a Gecko & Fly template again since they are so easy to work with.…

I laughed when I saw this headline at Drudge: “ROCK STAR IN COMA AFTER WHALLOPED BY PEACE ACTIVIST…” Don’t you think if you are going to advocate for peace that you should exemplify it in your own life. Oh, how I love life’s ironies 🙂 Here’s the story: A New Zealand peace activist is facing…
