The card company said they texted a code to my...

Agenda-driven Entertainment Posted: December 3, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com "When pitching shows for kids, I met with studios, networks and writers.

January 2, 2002 Scripture twisting vs. romantic realism Just as the last pre-Christmas Sunday brings to church doors some folks unseen all year, so the last pre-Christmas newspaper issues typically include references to Jesus by columnists who show little knowledge of the Bible.
