NOVEMBER 4 "THE DESERTER"

The Taliban released a video Wednesday it says shows their handover of former prisoner Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl to U.S. forces. The 17-minute video shows Bergdahl dressed in white robes being led from a pickup truck as what appears to be a Black Hawk helicopter lands.  Taliban fighters waving a white flag are seen shaking hands with men dressed in Western civilian clothes as Bergdahl is handed over and then taken aboard the helicopter. Several armed Taliban members are seen on the surrounding hillside as the handover takes place. "Don't come back to Afghanistan," one man tells Bergdahl, according to a translation by the Associated Press. "You won't make it out alive next time!" Bowe Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban when he deserted his post. He is wanted by the military for dereliction of duty a crime punishable under the UCMJ. (Uniform Code of Military Justice). 
     I find it interesting, the Bergdahl, fleeing form his Comrades falls right into the hands of the enemy, to which his comrades, which he had forsaken are the ones that have to come back and rescue him.  How often we see this same predicament in the Church.  Disillusioned Christians flee from the Church and fall right into the hands of the enemy (The Devil).  And as they "cry for help" it is the Christians, The Church, that comes back to rescue them.  "The deserter" always finds himself/herself, back in the hands/grasp, of the Enemy!

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
