THE GOOD SAMARITAN DOG

One of the most shocking reports I ever read appeared in the Indian Express several years ago. On the front page was a photo of a little boy, half naked, lying on the sidewalk of a busy street. Next to the boy was a dog. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a female dog, and the little boy was actually sucking her milk. The caption read, "This Dog Is His Mother." The three-column article went on to describe the heartbreaking agony that homeless children face as they try to survive on their own. ~an excerpt from NO LONGER A SLUMDOG by K. P. Yohannan


How much we can learn from dogs! That dear dog was the Good Samaritan to that precious little boy, made in God's image! So many humans heartlessly passed the dear little boy without a care, while the dog lovingly mothered him!

THE HOOK OCTOBER 2005 FANTASY WOMEN SOW DISCORD

Works of art to be ogled at, women are not.  Made of flesh and blood, they have feelings, aspirations, and dreams.  Our society evaluates the sexual attractiveness of women by creating uncommon, unearthly standards of beauty, causing many to consider they are inferior.  We all suffer when women are dishonored by allowing themselves to become immodest slabs of meat on display for all to enjoy.  Wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, and daughters are wounded when significant males in their lives view nude bodies of indiscriminate women.  Males become mesmerized with the so-called ideal specimens, who do not nag or have any expectations of them, who appear to stare longingly back and desire them from screens or glossy, airbrushed pages.  Creating fantasy worlds for men, these models cause divisions between men and the women who truly care for them.  Sex was designed by God to be intimate, not anonymous.  And folks wonder from whence comes disrespect for, neglect of, and violence directed at women?

The centerfold layout of your issue mimicking the dishonorable, heartless, selfish publication Playboy, was despicable.  Glorifying public nudity and bringing the knowledge of such careless behavior to the attention of local residents is irresponsible and inconsiderate.
 Miss October is not representing exemplary conduct, and to suggest that Charlottesville and the University of Virginia should be proud of such corrupting behavior is narrow-minded.
 How we spend our time shapes who we are, and how we build the persons we are is cause for social concern.  At all times we must ask ourselves whether what we are doing is loving or wise.  Are we putting the needs and feelings of others above our own, or is the pursuit of our own pleasure the measure of our lives?

A Sociopath Walks Free

Wow, a diabolical sociopath walks free? How can this be? If she had aborted Caylee, she would be free. Now, after killing her own flesh and blood at age two, Casey Anthony is free! Any rational person would see there is no difference in killing an unborn baby or a two year old. Then there's Peter Singer of Princeton declaring nobody is a person until age two.  So, apparently now all murder is legal in the sunshine state, not just abortion, but lying is still illegal.  What a disadvantage to the prosecution to have a jury not educated in the fine art of psychopathy.  Had they been well versed in it, they NEVER would have allowed such an evil woman to be set free back into society.  As all the experts on psychopathy teach, we all need to educate ourselves on psychopaths, sociopaths, character-disordered, antisocials - whatever ya wanna call them or not call them, for many are afraid of labels.  How dangerous, irresponsible and idiotic that is!  Among us in quantity, their number is growing at an alarming rate due to our narcissistic culture, looking out for numero uno.  So many are praising our judicial system.  I laugh in the face of that foolishness.  

satan is as busy a worldly prince as is William!

Lindy Bain didn’t see his name right away after the wrapping was pulled from the sign for the new Western Albemarle High School cross country course in Old Trail Village.
As the audience of more than 70 people began to clap, the boys cross country coach looked up a few more inches. The new 3.1-mile course, which is open to the public, was dedicated on Sunday as the Lindy Bain Loop.
Kim Connollypresident of the Friends of Western Albemarle Cross Country, said the people who donated money for the new cross country course kept suggesting a name for it.
“They said, ‘you have to name it for Coach Bain,’” Connolly told the crowd.
Present and past colleagues and students said Bain deserved to be honored for the work he has done with students over the years. Bain, who is in his 24th year of coaching at Western Albemarle, said after the reveal that he had no idea that the Old Trail Course would be dedicated to him.
“It’s probably a good thing they didn’t tell me or I would have tried to talk them out of it,” Bain said, laughing.
The course will give Western Albemarle cross country athletes a place to practice and hold meets.
Gaylon Beights, Old Trail’s developer, joked that part of the reason he agreed to have the course in Old Trailis to prevent the students from running in the road.
Student-athletes said the trail at the high school is a bit treacherous. Calvin Wheat, who ran with the team for four years before graduating on Friday, said the newer trail appears to be less steep.
“Our times might be better,” Wheat said.
Katie Farina, a junior and a girls cross country team member, said she is hoping that the new course will allow the team to host an invitational at home next school year.
William Tillery, a 1982 Western Albemarle graduate and a former assistant track coach, said the addition of the course will be a benefit for the students, the residents of Old Trail Village and the greater community.
Tillery said Bain has been his mentor for 11 years.
“The opportunity to work under him is something I will never forget,” Tillery said.

The antichrists Among Us

Our hostile age charges the Gospel with falsehood, oppression, limiting moral freedom, meddling where it doesn’t belong, and much, much more. In reality, it is our secular age that is the wellspring of lies, which oppresses our generation with half-truths and outright lies, which destroys morality in the name of license, and which, through its meddlesome government and schools, demands to control and rule in every area of life. It is not we who are guilty of screwing up the world, but all who are the enemies of Christ.  ~T. M. Moore


As Chuck Swindoll speaks of American cults in his excellent book Improving Your Serve, consider the pyramid to narcissism:


I
Me
Mine
Myself

"You deserve a break today."  "Have it your way."  "Do yourself a favor."  "You owe it to yourself."  "If it feels good, do it."  "Look out for numero uno."  “You only go around once, so you have to grab for all the gusto you can! Why settle for less?”
