Real Forgiveness

There are times when a little story made of pure gold sneaks its way through the volumes of garbage and makes it to our attention. This is one such example - detailing a hero of the family of Christ. Pray for India.

Leviticus causes a stir

The story below is interesting for several reasons, I think. Firstly, I'm not sure that what this pastor is doing is going to have th effect I think he wishes. Secondly,it would be interestein to see the same local judge retry the issue that she has already once ruled on (is that even fair?) but mostly I'm amused that the secular government is hostile to any hint of hostility.

I'm not sure the whole affair advances the Good News about Christ. Perhaps we ought to be putting billboards up that say READ YOUR BIBLE! IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Lingo Woes

Just thought I'd blog this very useful web site. It will translate text from common European languages to or from English, for free. It's a mechanical translation so don't expect it to be perfect. However, it's enough to find out what your Italian pen pal is trying to say. What's more, it's a New Hampshire company that writes the software. Very cool.
