Oh! but my afflictions are greater than other men’s afflictions are! Oh! there is no affliction like my affliction! How can I not murmur? It may be your sins are greater than other men’s sins. If you have sinned against… more light, more love, more mercies, more promises, than others–no wonder if your afflictions are… Read More »

I confess that sometimes it is hard not to be frustrated with the many who fear for the our safety. They think that the whole country of Israel is a war zone. In fact, the majority of the country is going about its normal routine. They never hear sirens or any other war activity. Where… Read More »
This photo just in, from a Reuters photographer on the scene. (HT: OJ). Dan Rather has verified its authenticity. If you aren’t laughing, you either haven’t seen this guy elsewhere or you missed the latest scandal from the unbiased media.
