Sister Mary Celine, an elderly nun who taught children for many years, was hit and killed walking on a Harlem sidewalk by a van driven by robbers fleeing from the police. I’m sure she is in heaven today, praying for their conversion. But there is more to the story than a sad ending. You see, […]
The ads are all over the blogs. Google ads telling us about the glory of President Obama. Impressive, isn’t it? “We’ll look at new Presidential orders, policies on the economy, alternative energy and foreign affairs, and his use of the new media” proclaims the ads proudly.
