Sunday is a Holy day not a holiday Exodus 20: 8-11 is the middle of the Ten Commandments and clearly gives our Lord’s command concerning a certain day in the week. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” (KJV) During the many centuries since this commandment was given to Moses from God concerning a special day in the week, major changes have been made to this commandment by the attitude of the people. The first most notable change is that today the commandment about the day is mostly ignored. As this commandment has been changed, the transfer of...

From another era there was a newsman named Paul Harvey, who often talked of sharing the news of the day from outside the tall buildings and news empire housed in New York. He kept his daily news and commentary headquarters in Chicago during the entire time of his award winning career. As Paul Harvey was in demand as a speaker across the country, he often talked of seeing the news from the perspective of Middle America rather than from behind the ivory palaces of Wall Street, Madison Avenue, and Broadway.

There are two issues I feel passionate about that touch our culture every day. The first one is the right-to-life that all of us have. I am an activist and an advocate for life issues. Life begins at conception and is to continue until the giver of life determines the natural end. In 1987, a small pro-life ministry based 45 miles north of Sacramento, California, held the first Life Chain observance as they built America’s first chain through the towns of Yuba City and Marysville, California, according to their website. Last Sunday, across the country there were people who stood for one hour in silent prayer standing up for the unborn in communities throughout North America. Life is valuable and vital, and should be treated with dignity and respect. Being an advocate for life also causes me to share another passion of my belief system. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Over these many years in my profession, having sat on my side of the desk and listened to stories of spous...
