Many of you know that the Elementary school students gathered together this week for our Thanksgiving Celebration.

You should know that many of them are thankful for Jesus and how His work on the cross has rescued them from their sinful state…

In one of the American airlines, a female passenger did not get sandwiches on her flight, instead of asking politely why she had not, she started shouting and hurling insults. She went further and punched the flight attendant. Amazingly, the other passengers were not perturbed; they just stared at the ordeal until another flight attendant intervened. Such a happening is not an isolated case; in fact, it is the depiction of the modern American society where a courteous inquiry is substituted…

Human classification of creatures as being ‘game…

The impulse for this essay began when I read Garry Wills’s review of Seamus Heaney’s new translation of Antigone. Seizing on a comment in the translator’s afterward about the relation between George W. Bush and Creon, Wills vented considerable indignation at the oversimplified readings of this play in the twentieth century, in which various dictators have been aligned with Creon while Antigone has emerged as the heroine who dares to resist a totalitarian regime. The play Sophocles wrote, he…

Their main intention was towards equally distributing all powers of government, so that one branch wouldn’t hold too much power on its own. Also, with checks and balances, the government limits the power that each branch holds. Checks and balances also allow Congress…

It’s been twenty years since Ms Gary’s murder. My partner is short but very built his name is Detective Jake Jansen. Rewita Biddle, the victim, had his cheek slit open and he had been stabbed several times. I could see his bones on his hands. It was like someone killed him and then peeled his skin off his hand. I was trying to sleep when a call came in. It was from the Wellington police, telling me that there had been another murder similar to Rewita Biddle’s murder. When I reached the…
