The Man Who Started It All
In WALKING THE BIBLE, he's still sitting there forever, behind a cloud of smoke, saying, "People like me don't have time to talk to people like you," then calling me at home that night to introduce me to Avner. Now, nearing 100, he has finally passed.Avraham Biran, an archaeologist of biblical site

Feiler Faster in Denver -- Final Thoughts
The last of my brother's blogs.

I was on the floor the other day and came across a man of about forty who wore on his left breast what looked like a military medal. A small ribbon pinned to his chest with a medallion hanging from it. It was the credential that his grandfather wore at the 196

Further proof that the conservatives do not do their homework. I do not know how they might use it, but Obama’s first name means “handsome” of “beautiful” in Arabic, and it was the name of Mohammed’s horse that flew him to heaven at the conclusion of God’s revelation to him. Now, if they were not so traumatized by all things Moslem they might know this and find some mischeivous way to apply it. But they are driven more by fear than anything else, so they stop short of learning anything. Instead Obama continues to be the candidate of hope filled change rather than fear stained continuations. So blessings on him, and I hope he carries us as a nation as well as his namesake carried the Prophet.
