We thought we found treasure and we ran to get a camera. We finally dug out a deep enough enough the pull out the amulet. The…

And because of this threat of christianity the government would punish the people who believed in it. By execution or other harsh punishments. The government made all christians convert back…

Ben Bosma’s reputation as a renaissance man is substantiated by a simple Google search of his name.

from the British Isles The Things I Do For Quality Children's Entertainment I love The Lorax. Humbly, I will assert that it is the best Dr. Seuss book to grace God's green earth. I mean, humming fish! Barbaloots! Total ruin of the environment at the hands of capitalist overlords! What's not to like? Obviously, I jumped at the opportunity to see a live production of The Lorax at the Old Vic Theater in London this past week. So what if it was a children's production? I would show up, get some…
