I saw that letter also. I’m somewhat less enthusiastic about it than you but I agree it is a clear statement. ~ Anonymous comment on “Bravo, Denny!” While UCG President Dennis Luker has recently put out a message on “The Sacredness of the Sabbath Day” on Inside United: Realtime and…
Get your coffee while its hot, grab a chair, and let’s chat. Let’s talk politics – church politics, that is. You’ll hear some old stuff, but you’ll definitely hear some new stuff. You’re bound to hate just about most of it. I originally thought I would break this up more,…
Game of “Which Witch is Which?” There once was a party of conservatives. Every so often, liberals would come around and pretend they were conservatives too. Eventually, they would cause trouble, and the liberals would be shown the door. One day, however, there was a very good actor who was…
