Evangelical college joins Catholics in lawsuit – “Wheaton College does not, as Catholics do, view all forms of artificial contraception as immoral.

The Syrian situation – As I write this I am looking at dozens of photos of churches in the Homs area of Syria that have been desecrated and destroyed by the “rebel” fighters that are supported by President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. Without further comment I ask that you view this material and forward it to others. PDF document includes photos.
