Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 08:46PM With the annual Christ Reformed softball game tomorrow, Bartolo Colon should inspire the elders on to victory. He jiggles more than most of us do, and if he can still play the game, well then, so can we.
Friday, June 5, 2015 at 07:21AM Twenty-six years ago today this man stood up to government tyranny while the world watched. To this day, no one knows who this man is, or what happened to him. Reportedly, he told the tank driver to turn around and go back because the tanks would ruin the city (Beijing). Notice too, he keeps hanging on to his groceries.
Friday, April 17, 2015 at 07:43AM You don't see this very often! The Rays pull off the "hidden ball trick" against the Dodgers in August, 2013. The Dodger third base coach and the baserunner (Juan Uribe) both fell asleep. I love it when a little league trick play catches big leaguers. The Dodger announcers are clueless as well--but the guys in the Dodger dugout notice, and they razz Uribe mercilessly when he leaves the field.
Friday, April 10, 2015 at 07:48AM British General Allenby enters Jerusalem in December of 1917--an event of lasting significance, and one which symbolized age-old conflicts (i. e., the Crusades) which still rage today. Christians were surprised and thrilled by Jerusalem's fall. The Balfour Declaration was signed just weeks earlier, so Jews were hopeful of an eventual return to Palestine, now in British hands. Muslims vowed to reclaim the holy city from infidels--even if that meant Jihad. And the proto-dispensationalists of that era believed that Jerusalem's time of being occupied by Gentiles was over (cf. Luke 21:24). This was the sign that God's end-times clock was counting down to the Lord's return.

Friday, March 13, 2015 at 07:41AM There is talk of grounding the A-10 in favor of a newer aircraft. It will be hard to find any replacement that can deliver a punch like the Warthog can--a 30 mm cannon firing depleted uranium ammunition.
