The President's Secret

Here is a story about something that President Bush has done over the course of his tenure in the White House: he's written personal letters to the families of every soldier that has died in the War on Terror. Not for publicity, not for a photo-op, not for the pollsters, but just because he believed it was his duty.

This President has probably been the target of the most vicious, most calumnious, most vitriolic, hateful speech in American history. It is disgraceful. And it says a lot about our society's lack of respect for those in authority, even when we vehemently disagree on some things. Say what you want about his policies, but hating the man himself is just wrong.

Persecution in India

Here is a whole page of links describing different persecution topics in just the state of Orissa, India. Many Hindus there have launched numerous attacks on Christians. This shows us one thing loud and clear: Christianity must be making some inroads into that area.

The Hindus, especially the Brahmins, have a vested social and economic interest in keeping the caste system alive and well, but Christianity tells the truth about the caste system - that it's a big fat lie and we're all equal before God. And, the devil always responds with violence when his kingdom is being threatened. See the book of Acts.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in India.
