TWU: Tarnished Workers Undone
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005If I’m a rank-and-file member of the local Transit Workers Union, I’m not too pleased with my leaders right about now. The holiday traffic messes and devastating economic impact generated by the strike have caused a public backlash, not to mention court imposed $1 million-per-day fines for the Union and possible jail time and fines [...]
Meeting Billy Graham
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Back in June, I wrote about praying with Dr. Billy Graham 25 minutes before he preached his last Crusade sermon. I received the pictures today, just in time for Christmas!

In an article attacking Bill O’Reilly, the NYT invites us all to live the Gospel in the midst of evil: So I have a challenge for Mr. O’Reilly: If you really want to defend traditional values, then come with me on a trip to Darfur. I’ll introduce you to mothers who have had their babies [...]
Intelligent Design – An Unconsititutional Theory?
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005A Pennsylvania federal judge thinks so. Today he entered the outer reaches of reason by ruling that to mention Intelligent Design theory in biology class somehow violates the constitution. The offending reference was a brief statement, read once in class, that says (in its entirety): The Pennsylvania Academic Standards require students to learn about Darwin’s [...]

Strike!
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Working from home this morning because our friends at the MTA are on strike. No subways or buses, combined with Mayor Bloomberg’s genius solution of limiting all cars in lower Manhattan to a minimum of FOUR passengers before 11 am, means no way of getting to the office. Seven million commuters are feeling the pinch, [...]
Chronicles of Narnia -
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Diana and I went to see Narnia last night. Fun movie, fitting for the season of life in which we find our ministry. Aslan’s on the move, and the ice is beginning to thaw! One question I’ve always wondered about the book, and now the movie: Why a wardrobe? The lion, the witch, the sacrifice [...]
Nice to see generosity get its due
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Congratulations to Time magazine’s people of the year – Bono, Bill and Melinda Gates — for demonstrating that it’s better to give than to receive. “The rocker’s job is to be raucous, grab our attention. The engineers’ job is to make things work. 2005 is the year they turned the corner, when Bono charmed and [...]
