The Devil's Gift

This is a time to weep for the world. So I offer you this song of lament from Sinead O’Connor based directly on Isaiah chapter five.

The Lord was sorry that he had made humans. —Genesis 6.6

I heard an old friend was in hospice. We were friends but not close. Should I visit? Must I visit?

I was raised evangelical. I was weaned on love for Israel. I was a Christian Zionist.

Baseball is a great American tradition. I want my grandchildren to appreciate it. It’s governed by rules.
