Paradise Lost
In Defense of the Faith
May 16, 2012 - Wendy Wippel
Did you know there are hundreds of websites featuring jokes about the Garden of Eden? (''Why Eve? Like Adam was going to buy his own fig leaves or ask for directions?'') But the Garden was an unspeakable tragedy, not a joke. And at a magnitude that hit me fully only this week.

Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor
I used to get emails all the time from New Agers and so-called Mayan 'scholars' castigating me as a 'cultural bigot' for not giving credence to extra-biblical 'prophecies' from sources like the Maya.

Last Monday Vladimir Putin was sworn in as Russia’s President for another six years, his second run at the job. In his speech he affirmed that Russia would achieve its goals. He said that Russia would be ''a single, united people, if we hold our fatherland dear, strengthen Russian democracy, constitutional rights and freedoms.''

Coming Ice Age
Prophecy - Signs
May 10, 2012 - J.L. Robb
And if you believe that, I would like to sell you the London Bridge. But just 35 years ago, the coming ice age was the big concern. I was taking an oceanography course at N.C. State in 1973, and the ice age theory was getting government-granted all over the country. Environmental scientists at major and non-major universities received tax paid funding to “prove” this new theory to be correct. It’s amazing what scientists can “prove” if they are funded to do so. Free money for the researchers, at our expense.

Some Sweet Day

May 09, 2012 - Wendy Wippel
The wedding season is upon us, and you know what that means. Pass the hankies. But why do we cry at weddings? What is it exactly that unleashes those sentimental tears? Their wedded bliss? People who (according to the Dixie Cups) will ''never be lonely anymore?'' All those ''happily ever afters?''

Israel Calls Up Reserves; One in Seven Await the End of the World
Israel - Middle East
May 08, 2012 -
Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor
The attention-grabbing headline for today's OL briefing is not an example of wild-eyed Christian hyperbole. We pulled the title from what were the top two leading headine links on the Drudge Report.

Do you feel like your life is unfair? Do you feel like it is just one problem after another, and that no matter what, you can’t seem to get your head above the water? Do you have those imperfect relationships, maybe at work or at home, where certain people just rub you the wrong way all the time? Do you ever stop and ask God “Why Me?” Well, if the answer to any of these questions is yes, then this article is for you!

Fiat currency turned forty-one this year and like most forty-somethings it has its aches and pains. Psychological researchers say you'll face two age-related events that will change your life forever. The first crisis is adolescence and the second is, you guessed it, turning 40.

Thugs

May 05, 2012 - Rebecca Droeger
Anyone who has daughters knows the pains of when they first start becoming interested in boys. It’s like nothing else in the world matters. All of the sudden, their interest is in a certain boy. Morning, noon and night, that’s all they talk about. They talk on the phone constantly; or nowadays, communicate via text or Facebook. Blah, blah, blah, blah!

Those Dirty Rats
Israel - Middle East
May 04, 2012 - Alf Cengia
One of my brother’s friends was recently woken in the middle of the night by a disturbance in the kitchen. Upon investigation, he discovered an intruder. I don’t know what’s worse – finding out that a thief has broken into your house or a rat scurrying along your kitchen benches and disappearing behind your oven where you can’t get it.

Inheriting Hope and Change
Perspective on the News
May 03, 2012 - J.L. Robb
Over the past three years, I have heard the term “inherited” used over-and-over but not in a good sense; not an inheritance that one might receive from an unknown, rich uncle. President Barack Obama seems to have an obsession with “inherited” and usually links the word to President George W. Bush.

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, for his compassions fail not". (KJV) We see God's faithfulness in what He created: The sun rises and sets, the rains come and go, the earth produces its harvests. And, incredibly, even within us. Every cell screams his faithfulness. Every day.

The Things We Leave Behind
In Defense of the Faith
May 01, 2012 - Pete Garcia
One of the biggest obstacles people have about becoming a Christian is that they think once you do, all the fun has to end. Like entering the priesthood where the only thing they have to look forward too is celibacy and endless sermons. They see only the negatives of ‘thou shall not’s’, and none of the liberty and freedom that is found in Christ.
