So, if you have really messed… Continue

Episode 5 of Season 2 of Lifetime Television’s ARMY WIVES dealt with a very serious topic – the commitment of the U.S. to find and bring home the remains of Americans missing in action of past conflicts.

JewsinGreen.com: U.S. Jewish Military Personnel Today -- Part II

Brian Kresge, a sergeant in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, continues his response to my offer on www.JewsinGreen.com for someone to write a guest post about Jews serving in the U.S. military:

Contemporary perceptions of American Jewish service seem more apt to be influenced by several… Continue

"I'm feeling sad."

I got a call from a friend. That’s all she said. What is the natural question when someone tells you that? You want to know why. So I asked, but she said she didn’t know.

Did you ever feel that way? You just experienced a great event in your life, or enjoyed a great thing…and when it’s over, sadness with gloom invade your heart.

But God knows. He sees our moods, our disappointments, and our hum drum routine. So He gave us the answer: each day has a new dawn of… Continue

We Are Marshall

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

James 1: 2-4 (The Message)

I just watched a really good movie, and it so impacted me, I cannot, not write about it. In November of 1970, there was a… Continue
