In 1991, when I visited the Soviet Union (Yes, that Soviet Union – the bad guys) I ended up in a long discussion with water quality officials in what was then known as Leningrad, now St. Peterburg, on over-regulation. They talked of how they…
I became a regular, as opposed to occasional, listener of The Hugh Hewitt Show on 9-11. The host speaks with embarrassment of the job he did that day, but I searched all of media as events unfolded and he was the only one that 1) was willing to…
Palm Sunday – the beginning of Holy Week. We usually look at Holy Week with the end of it in mind and it all shines with the hope of salvation and resurrection. But suppose you were one of the people that laid palm fronds in Jesus’s path as He…
