Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety.
But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers. Though it's depicted as a classic clash of the secular and the religious, it actually illustrates why Christian act

This is such a testament to what good could be wrought if we did two things: truly trust God and set aside our prejudices. I have a feeling it did not take her 92 years to learn those things. We tend to always look first at the personal threat we perceive and then at the person. She did the opposite and that made all the difference.

Now this woman deserves the peace prize !!!
She changed that guys life and he will forever think about what she said and who she talked about. My bet is that he will turn himself in.
But he did not rob her really. She said no but in the end gave him all she had, which is scriptural.

Wow, she’s lucky she got a mugger who didn’t fly into a rage and kill her for defying him. Lucky, or Jesus really was on her side. It’s a great story, but I’m not sure it’s a great recommendation for little old ladies to start back-talking dangerous criminals. Still, As Thom Hunter said above, maybe she used her excellent personal judgment and that’s what worked for her. I’m glad if she did some good for all concerned and inspired others in the process.

==The 92 Year Old Woman Who Ministered to Her Mugger==
You mean to tell us that she didn’t let the mugger be who he chose to be? She didn’t let him explore his own potentialities?? She tried to change him??? Terrible! Just Terrible!! What about HIS Rights to be just “who his is”??
