Letters to the Editor

Dear Reader, Do you look at today’s events and wonder: What is going on? Where is all of this going to end? Where am I in the whole scheme of things, and why am I here? There are answers to these questions, and they are found in a BOOK that has been printed more times, and in more languages than any other book since the beginning of time. It is the BOOK of the ages: the Bible. The first book in the Bible, Genesis, the book of beginnings, teaches us who GOD is, how GOD created the entire world, the universe, every growing thing, and how HE formed mankind in His image. Have you ever read the Bible? It was written over a period of 1,500 years, by 40 different authors, each one inspired by GOD. The Bible ends with the book of Revelation describing the condition of the world and events that will usher in the end of the world, as we know it. We are seeing the “setting of the stage” of these endtime events today. Romans 1 describes what we see happening in our world right now!

Outdoors with

November rain In an old interview from the 70s or so, on the BBC or such, the interviewer or host or someone asked Richard Burton, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, what alcoholism was like. And the acting mouth of The Bard, steeped in wordcraft, said: “It’s November, and it’s raining.” I understand the metaphor, I do.
