Lewis’ The Screwtape LettersPress on one day at a time.That’s how to live life.The past is done.  It can’t...

Last season was my most disappointing as a Laker fan, but though I am not expecting...

Top 10 Fictional Characters That Have Super-Speed

Yes, the number one is the Flash.   And that is not really much of a spoiler since, just like my list on superheroes with powered armors, it is quite obvious where this list is going.  Nonetheless, a question remains which “Flash” is number one?Before we proceed, let me also point out that the characters evaluated for this list are those characters that have “super speed” as their primary or sole superpower and NOT as a mere offshoot...

Can "Creative Liberties" Be Done on Bible Stories?

I am all for Hollywood making movies out of Bible stories.  However, with Noah and Son of God, I am extremely disappointed on how much of the movies’ respective plots and narratives appallingly distorted the Bible stories they were based from.  I wish they were never made in the first place.  The Bible is not just an ordinary book.  It is the Word of God – worthy to be revered as much as humanly possible.   Therefore,...
