What if there was no radio or television? What if there was no air travel?

God and the Weather Channel.

The posted article raises a lot of good questions. I understand that the police and firemen had homes and families to take care of and can't really fault them for running out on their jobs. However, it looks like the city could have offered to relocate families of essential public servants, in...

If the bill makes it to the governor's desk, let's hope that he will have the intestinal fortitude to veto it. I really doubt that he will though. Roy

I live in Mobile, and most of the people around here feel for our neighbors in New Orleans and on the Mississippi coast. There was damage around here, people suffered losses, and 25 percent of the county schools were catastrophically damaged, but in comparasion to our neighbors, we have very...

We probably are being too harsh with the president, by scrutinizing his choice of non-alcoholic brew. Roy

Yes, I think it is a culture thing. People tend to feel more comfortable when they are with members of their own peer group. Music and the message presentation is also different in churches of different cultures also. I don't think that most congregations are actively trying to keep out...

That's true, but the nuke option should always be a last resort. Roy

Something to think about: Just suppose that Normandy and Omaha Beach had stormed by only female soldiers, during the second World War. Or what if McArthur had tried to liberate The Philippines with just female troops? How successful would that have been? How secure would you feel if...

The Monroe Doctrine could have been a the initial rub which got things going. Then there was the Spanish-American War in 1898, in which the U.S. aquired territories (Hawaii and the Philippines)near or in the Asian continent which caused the Asians some anxiety. Additionally, the Russo-Japanese...

I like "The Gospel Hour" with Oliver B. Green and "Through the Bible Radio" with J.Vernon McGee. Both men are long deceased, but their messages are timely and inspiring. Roy

Such a distinguished crowd here. I've been working for an industrial supply company here in good ole Mobile for nearly nine years, delivering to customers and working in that hot, sweaty warehouse. Prior to that, I was in the Coast Guard, where I worked as an avionics technician and retired...

This comment made me think of a story that a former pastor of mine once told. He was a Navy ship's chaplain during the war and was on board when his ship sank a German submarine. The surviving sub crewmen were brought aboard the ship and he talked with one of the English-speaking men. The...

I take it that you are a big admirer of Aunt Esther, you know from the tv show Sanford and Son. Roy

OK folks. You have twisted my arm. I accept. I will be your new Baptist pope. I guess this trailer park where I currently live will have to serve as the Baptist Vatican. Pope Roy

I think we had this discussion a year or two back and a brother contended that the Bible's original text doesn't say or mean "in", but "on", in regards to the mark of the beast. Personally, I think that the King James translators (being linguistically fluent as they were in Hebrew, Greek...

When I turned 40, I was concerned about my memory because details didn't stick in my mind the way they once did. I used methods like those described by Link and untangled to memorize Matthew's account of the sermon on the mount. It was a lot of work for me, but was gratifying. Of course, when...

Are you glad to be leaving Hawaii or would you rather stay there for a while longer? Roy

When I was 9 or 10 years old, I had some freckles on the face (not a lot) but it bothered me to hear my mom refer to me as a freckle-faced boy. My great grandma (who would be 124 if she were still alive) said that washing the face with a dew-soaked wool cloth would get rid of freckles. I tried...

I always had a feeling that Corvette owners were righteous, holy men of the cloth. Roy
