Wow. Amazing story.

And amazing, the power a single Jewish, peasant laborer has had in the lives of men for 2,000 years.

Surley he was the Son of God.

It is the best political ad so far.

I don't agree with Senator McCain on many issues, but this commercial captures the essence of the core of Christianity.

Our personal relationship with Jesus Christ is ahead of all other relationships in our lives.

Personal, vocational, governmental...

You’ll see similar WWII accounts from US soldiers held as POWs in Japanese prison camps. Their Christian guards often showed stealth kindnesses.

One heck of a story.

By the way, I enjoyed McCain’s memoir - what was it called, “Faith of My Fathers”? I may not vote for the man, but he has some amazing stories to tell. I recommend it if you have not read it.

Morris Udall was a long time Representative from Arizona. He ran for the Democratic nomination for President against Jimmy Carter in 1976. Genial and witty, he was an ardent environmentalist and unabashedly liberal.

Udall developed Parkinson's disease and was forced to resign from Congress in 1991. Debilitated, he was confined to a hospital bed in Washington, DC. For seven long years until his death he lay there forgotten by all of his former colleagues, constituants, allies, friends and admirers. Except for one.

Parkinson's is not a pretty disease. It makes you uncomfortable to be around. You don't know how to act, you don't know what to say. But for all those years there was one visitor that Mo Udall could count on. Rain or shine, political firestorms aside, there was one man who would show up every week to sit and visit with his old friend. That man was John McCain.
