Davy Crockett of LCG recently posted the commentary “Sticks and stones“. It is a worthwhile read, as our society has become more “in your face” and downright rude over time. Long held values of civility seem to have been lost in the current age of the Internet and Fox News….
15But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: … 43The stranger that…
The BBC News posted the article, “Aung San Suu Kyi’s supporters mark her 65th birthday”. As I stated before, I did not believe the government of Myanmar had any intention of releasing her before the fall elections, and it looks like this prediction will unfortunately come true. Myanmar is a…
A couple of unrelated news items… I came across the article “Church of God, an International Community“ recently. It is an interesting read even if it is biased, given all that has happened at UCG lately. I am sure that various bloggers and such will have varying views on it,…

Arches seemed to be a theme in different news outlets this week. UCG’s unofficial Forward to the Kingdom! blog posted a humorous comic by Fred Crow on the discovery of Noah’s Arch. Not so funny, sort of strange and very confusing, actually, is McDonald’s new ad campaign in France targeting…
