As we observe Good Friday and Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the profound paradox at the heart of the Christian faith. On one hand, we confront the brutal reality of suffering and death, as embodied in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, we celebrate the triumph of hope and ...
Yesterday was the big day of tricks. Once each year we have designated a day to pull pranks, make jokes, trick others into believing something untrue and have fun at the expense of others. Throughout the year's April fools day has been a day of minor offenses that most people went along with ...
We have all seen the ads in favor of Issue 1 stating that it is needed because women need to have access to abortions and miscarriage care. These are false claims that must be challenged. The Ohio Revised code specifically distinguishes abortion from miscarriage (see Section 2919.11). ...

Three biggest lies: 1) The check is in the mail. 2) I’m from the government here to help you. 3) One size fits all. These are mine. Yours may differ. We learn some things the hard way. When buying clothing for my wife, Lynnda, one size fits all sounded good. I didn’t have to worry about ...
A few years ago, Lynnda and I were part of a trade mission to Japan. We were on our own until we connected with the rest of the group. On the train from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station all announcements were in Japanese only. I noticed, “All the signs are in Japanese!” Lynnda commented, ...
