Quotable about America
Something about the U.S. that’s worth repeating: "I am convinced that the future of America is rosier than people claim – I’ve been hearing about its imminent decline ever since I started reading.

There Are No Real Noncombatants
The wounding of U.S. Army Chaplain Barron K. Wester in Iraq is a reminder that there are no “noncombatants” in either physical warfare, or spiritual warfare for that matter.
