terrorists wise to target indiana popcorn factory
(7.13) The media and late-night comics are getting plenty of headlines and laughs out of the Department of Homeland Security designating the Amish Country Popcorn business in rural Berne, Indiana, as—and I quote—a “serious potential terrorist target.” It’s just one of 8,591 places or events in the Hoosier state the government regards as a target. I think the terrorists are wise to target Indiana.

my thoughts and prayers with friends in mumbai
(7.11) Seven bombs ripped through busy train lines in Mumbai (Bombay) India killing over one hundred and injuring four times as many. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Mumbai where, in 2000, Cec Murphey and I taught writing and spoke in Christian churches.

section 5, article 3, subparagraph a of 'grandparent's code'
(7.3) In accordance with the above bylaw, it is my duty to accost total strangers with picures of our adorable granddaughter, Hannah. She's now fourteen months old, walking, and talking (okay, we can't understand what she's saying, but she's "talking").

were founding fathers 'Christian'?
(7.1) It's time again to set off some fireworks with my research on the US of A's Founding Father's faith. The "revisionist left" would like to make them secular and the "religious right" would like to make them saintly. It's a bit more complicated.
