Worlds Apart

World Aids Day

I thought I was done posting for the day, but then my friend John Santic of Towards Hope reminded me today is Worlds AIDS day.  Instead of re hashing the words, I suggest you check out John's post here. 

"This devastating disease is the modern day Leprosy of pandemic proportions.  5,500 lives are lost daily because of AIDS."

The Nativity Story - Reviews

The Nativity Story is not getting good reviews from non Christian (at least publicly Christian) critics.  www.rottentomatoes.com has an average review of 4.4/10.  Comments such as "One of the greatest stories ever told has become one of the year's worst movies."  and "'When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best'...the film has all the substance, visual appeal, and excitement of a Hallmark card."

The Nativity Story Trailer

Hitler...

A horrible discovery was made last week near the German town of Menden.  The lack of media attention about this in the United States should serve as an alarm in itself.As Deutsche Welle reports, the skeletons of twenty children and five adults were found as a cemetery site was being excavated.  It appears that these skeletons represent victims of the Third Reich’s policy of euthanizing persons with handicaps or other problems.

Rememberance Day

I letter I recieved from a co worker, his Grandfather was in WWII.
