Millions prayed for Peace in Jerusalem today
Sunday, October 2nd, 2005Eagles Wings produced and hundreds of ministries supported the second annual International Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem today. Psalm 122 1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.†2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is built [...]
The last word on a great leader
Sunday, August 14th, 2005“He was not a brilliant strategist or tactician, not a gifted orator, not an intellectual. At several crucial moments he had shown marked indecision. He had made serious mistakes in judgment. But experience had been his greatest teacher from boyhood, and in this his greatest test, he learned steadily from experience. Above all, [George] Washington [...]
After punishing defeats, they took it to the enemy
Sunday, August 14th, 2005“The year 1776, celebrated as the birth year of the nation, … was for those who carried the fight for independence forward a year of all-too-few victories, of sustained suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear, as they would never forget, but also of phenomenal courage and bedrock devotion to country, [...]

You gotta love him
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005(Well, maybe you won’t, but …) Bono’s making waves for kind words about President Bush and — gasp! — Senator Jesse Helms. It takes courage for any celebrity, but especially one of the world’s biggest rock stars and its most outspoken activist, to speak kindly about archconservatives like W and Helms. But he manages to [...]
under PRESSURE
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005Any Freudian insights here? Normally I loathe David Bowie’s music, but the hook to his song “Under Pressure” has been pulsating in my mind for the last hour. So I looked up the lyrics and found these, which I never knew before: Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking Can’t we give ourselves one more chance? [...]
Eight days since my last post
Monday, May 2nd, 2005… so I wanted this to be a good one. For time’s sake, it has to be short as well. I read in the paper this morning that NJ Nets coach Lawrence Frank tried to inspire his team to victory in Game 4 yesterday by posting a classic MLK quote at the players’ lockers. The [...]
