    Life sure can be funny.  You have ups, you have downs, and you have to be certain not to get hung up anywhere along the way.  I have been blessed over the years to teach, preach, and write for a variety of venues.  Whether it has been large or small congregations; classrooms with little kids, teens, or adults; a prison facility; outdoors in a park; VBS gatherings; camps; senior centers; online forums and websites, or in someone’s home, the gospel has been spread in earnest.   Sometimes folks grab on to the gospel with complete gusto!  Most times they can...

    Obama Humbled By Election 'Shellacking'By Liz Halloran Updated: 5 hours ago A sober President Obama acknowledged Wednesday that he took "a shellacking" in the midterm election, and that his once high-flying relationship with the American voter had hit rocky times. "There is an inherent danger in being in the White House and being in the bubble," said the president, whose party on Tuesday lost control of the House in an historic Republican wave. The GOP is expected to gain at least 60 seats, the biggest increase in more than seven decades. Democrats barely clung to their Senate majority. "The responsibilities...

    Israel humbled by arms from Iran By Adrian Blomfield in Ghandouriyeh (Filed: 15/08/2006) Abandoned Hizbollah positions in Lebanon yesterday revealed conclusive evidence that Syria - and almost certainly Iran - provided the anti-tank missiles that have blunted the power of Israel's once invincible armour. After one of the fiercest confrontations of the war, Israeli forces took the small town of Ghandouriyeh, east of the southern city of Tyre, on Sunday evening, hours before a ceasefire brokered by the United Nations took effect.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger, having squandered a unique opportunity to restore effective governance to a fast-growing, fast-changing state desperately in need of engaged and responsive policymaking, surrendered to the status quo Thursday. Emerging from a meeting with legislative leaders, Schwarzenegger ate humble pie for this week's special election in which all four of his "year of reform" ballot measures were rejected by voters. "If I would do another 'Terminator' movie, I would have Terminator travel back in time to tell Arnold not to have a special election," Schwarzenegger told reporters. The Republican governor has every reason to be contrite - not because...

    July 5, 2002: Poor Martha Stewart. TV's proud potentate of perfection may be wearing prison stripes soon, and never have the masses been so insolent toward the haughty diva of decorating. Ms. Stewart was so affronted by a brazen attempt by her Early Show colleagues' to question her about charges of inside stock trading circulating against her -- to add insult to injury, while she was preparing the perfect cabbage salad -- she has refused to appear on the early-morning CBS TV show again. Nonetheless, the pack continues to nip at the regal Ms. Stewart's heels. Martha Stewart jokes...
