Some people see a miracle in everything. In truth, this is not a bad approach in terms of appreciating.. Claiming the miraculous for every single thing sometimes strains credibility. But if there is something that is difficult to explain, it might be a miracle. Sometimes proving something is not a miracle can be more ludicrous [...]

The Tebow Family Tackles (sorry I couldn’t help it) the Super Bowl
In spite of all the snarling, whining, and threatening, CBS aired the ad sponsored by Focus on the Family featuring Pam (mother) and Tim (son) Tebow. Pam Tebow talked about her “miracle baby,” how hard it was, and how she still worried about “little [...]

Children’s Christmas Pageants are supposed to be uplifting. They usually embrace some kind of definition of the spirit of Christmas – Christian or secular. This can take the form of a telling or reliving of the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus or some version of a secular Christmas tale.

Today, September 30, is the first International Blasphemy Day. It’s a day to regale in blasphemy.
