HealingField.jpgIn Naperville Illinois residents have designed a field of flags to honor veterans, and donations from purchasing the flags will aid families getting treatment at a local facility.

Today, Veteran’s Day, is a good day to pray for peace for the world. Today is a day many experience in grief. Today is a day to pray for healing.

The Healing Field is a fundraiser organized by the Exchange Club of Naperville, along with the Naperville Park District. Money raised by the sale of flags and tags will benefit Fisher House — an extended stay facility being built for families of veterans getting treatment at the Hines VA Hospital. Flags can be purchased for $30 and flags with an honor tag for $35.

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet
