Phil Mickelson–47-year old superstar and crowd favorite–just got back in the winner’s circle minutes ago after a 4.5 year absence. He defeated 24-year old Justin Thomas–last’s year’s PGA Tour Player of the Year–on the first hole of a sudden playoff at the Mexico Championship in Mexico City, a World Golf Championship event on the PGA Tour. In what is quite an illustrious pro golf career, it was Phil’s 43rd win on the PGA Tour. This tournament was also the 8th... Read more
Russian Missile Satan 2 Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a speech Wednesday in which he claimed that Russia has developed a new generation of a hypersonic ICBMs that can reach almost anywhere in the world and avoid radar detection and thus being shot down by defensive missiles, of which the U.S. is the world’s leader.

Today (2/28/18), I attended two lectures on “Luther and the Legacy of Anti-Semitism” held at the Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, which is ASU’s main campus. It was sponsored by two ASU organizations: the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict and the Center f0r Jewish Studies. The two speakers were Gary McCluskey, pastor of the local University Lutheran Church and director of its Campus Ministry at ASU, and Volker Benkert, ASU professor of the School of Historical,...

The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) announced three days ago that it will hold a week-long conference at the Vatican this April on how to perform exorcisms. The Church has always claimed that evil spirits or demons exist as personal entities, that they can indwell people in the form of demon possession, and that gifted Christians who are properly trained have the power to exorcise them from people in the name of Jesus. The Church will hold this conference due to... Read more

In the wake of last week’s mass killing at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left seventeen people dead, President Donald Trump proposed that some school teachers and athletic coaches undergo firearms training and carry a firearm on school campuses. This is an element of the agenda of the National Rifle Association (NRA). It is one of the most politically powerful lobby groups in the nation, with five million members. It has always been against more stringent... Read more
Last Wednesday, Evangelist Billy Graham died of natural causes at his home in Montreat, North Carolina. He was arguably the greatest religious figure of the twentieth century. In our world of scandals that seem to emerge everywhere about famous people, including religious leaders, Billy Graham was untainted. He and his three closest associates in ministry–Cliff Barrows, George Beverly Shea, and Grady Wilson–were a close-knit group that kept each other accountable and remained a team throughout Billy’s entire career. That, I... Read more
The 1949 Hollywood film directed by Cecille B. DeMille and entitled “Samson and Delilah” was the highest grossed film of 1950. It is a love story drawn from a biblical story about lovers with those names. This fascinating and lengthy story in the Bible, which is much more than a love story, is recorded in Judges 13–16 in the Old Testament. Now, this same idea is being tried again, but on a comparatively smaller budget. And since it is a... Read more
President Trump says he wants to have a big military parade. The U.S. hasn’t really done that since right after WWII. I think that occasion certainly called for it. But to me, military parades are mostly about national ego which is largely to the detriment of other nations. It says, “Look at our military strength. Don’t mess with us.” (This photo is of the first U.S. Army parade held after WWII, held in Tokyo, Japan. I’d rather the U.S. would... Read more
