Scalia critical of what he calls the "judge-moralist" - Boston.com: "U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia railed against the era of the 'judge-moralist,' saying judges are no better qualified than 'Joe Sixpack' to decide moral questions such as abortion and gay marriage."
WorldNetDaily: The inspiring, true story of St. Patrick
WorldNetDaily: The inspiring, true story of St. Patrick: "He did, however find Ireland 'all heathen, and left it all Christian.'
Kidnapped as a boy, Patrick was a slave for six years in pagan, druid Ireland. He miraculously escaped, only to dream years later that he must go back. By his death in 461, Patrick had founded 300 churches, baptized 120,000 believers, and his followers re-evangelized Europe.
This St. Patrick's Day will have new meaning for all who read this great book by William Federer.
It has been said that Patrick is one of the few figures in recorded history directly responsible for the completely non-violent religious conversion of an entire nation."

1. In a support group, Christians in recovery can share their experience, strength and hope with one another. (Proverbs 15:22)
2. A good support group is a place where you will find true acceptance and a sense of what unconditional love is all about. (John 15:5-15)
3. A support group is a safe, non-judgmental setting where Christians in recovery can express struggles, thoughts, ideas, and feelings without fear of rejection. (Psalms 42)
4. A support group provides a safe environment for the risky experience of exploring and verbalizing emotions. (Galatians 6:2)
5. A healthy support group can provide sort of a 'family' atmosphere that stimulates the hope for a better life for all involved. (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
6. The best support groups practice a policy of strict confidentiality so that members can share freely without fear that others outside of the group will learn about their problems.
7. A good support group is a wonderful place for those in recovery to begin the difficult and painful process of re-connecting with other people.
8. A good support group will be a source of great hope and encouragement as we gain insights from becoming connected with others who"

Franklin Graham Reaffirms Scorn for Islam - Yahoo! News: "Asked by ABC correspondent John Donvan whether Muslim groups had succeeded in altering his outlook about Islam, Graham said 'No.'
'Do they want to indoctrinate me? Yes. I know about Islam. I don't need an education from Islam,' he said. 'If people think Islam is such a wonderful religion, just go to Saudi Arabia and make it your home. Just live there. If you think Islam is such a wonderful religion, I mean, go and live under the Taliban somewhere. I mean, you're free to do that.'"

Home-schooling grows quickly in United States - Yahoo! News: "'There are popular myths that home-schooled children are socially inept, cloistered kids and that they are either illiterate or academic wunderkinds. Anecdotes aside, we simply don't have the data to make such generalizations,' he said.
'Some children will get top-notch instruction. Others will get poor or minimal instruction. Obviously it will vary by parent,' he said.
Even the cliche that the majority of home-schooled children are evangelical Christians is outdated, if it was ever true."
