The Connecticut Supreme Court is hurting for straddling. That happens when trying to go over a fence and getting stuck mid-way. Supreme Court states that an unborn baby is neither just a fetus nor human being. Get this: It is a body part to be protected by law.

So God can watch His favorite team play!" Now that the Dallas Cowboy's have a new stadium with a retractable roof, do the Cowboys, or at least the stadium, have His blessing? Maybe, because the Dallas Cowboys have just won the NFC East, and that is no joke. Dallas came into the last game of their first season in the new stadium with a record of 10-5, vs. their NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles at 11-4. Dallas...

Were they told to say only “Happy Holidays” or could they venture “Merry Christmas”? I beat them to the draw and cheerily gave forth with “Merry Christmas.” The clerks’ faces lit up and I got a “Merry Christmas” in return. With that, the matter was joyfully sealed with Christmas old-fashioned.

God is a spiritual, substantial, personal being, infinite in intelligence, in will, and in all perfection, absolutely simple or lacking composition, immutable, happy in Himself and by Himself, and infinitely superior to all that is or can be conceived apart from Himself. He is incomprehensible in His infinite perfection by all lesser intelligences, although knowable as to the fact of His existence as Living Creator and Lord of heaven and earth, almighty, eternal, immense, and distinct from all that He has created.

Imagine the frightening situation they faced since Mary, who was expecting a child, probably had been experiencing birth pains for the last 10 miles of their 80 mile journey. Now that they had finally reached their destination they were told that the only place the inn keeper had to offer for their comfort was an animal shelter. This was not exactly the place Joseph expected...

Is not nature itself divine? Nature is the effect of a divine creative activity, but it is not itself divine. The word "nature" comes from the Latin "nasci," to be born. It is applied, therefore, to the original character or constitution of some object — a constitution which is the radical principle of all that it is and of all that it does. Thus, by its very "nature" a horse is not a human being. It is not natural to a horse to compose music. That is "natural" which is in accordance with some particular being's nature...
