The Toronto Psychologist Jordan Peterson certainly is a youtube/social media phenomena. And it may not be the standard 20 minutes of fame. His latest book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos is a huge bestseller (maybe the NY Times will get around to reviewing it some day). Here the Catholic Bishop Robert Barron – … Read more
Despite being an atheist he was a member of the Pontifical Academy of Science. I posted this Stephen Hawking: 10 good quotes yesterday.
The physicist and the man to live the longest with ALS. He was a genius in the realm of cosmological physics – I read A Brief History of Time when he wrote it around 1988. But he lost the program when he wrote irrationally (my opinion ) about God and the origin of the universe. … Read more

Like ranked #7 in the state among college shot throwers. Here are a couple pictures and then videos of both Tim and Rickssen. A couple … Read more
Interesting that Trump was with his father at a Billy Graham Yankee Stadium rally way back in 1957.
This is a wonderful column. I've excerpted most of it below the link. He had an ability to reach across denominational lines and ‘speak to the common believing heart.’ You know the miraculous life of Louis Zamperini, whose story was told in Laura Hillenbrand’s epic, lovely book, “Unbroken.” Louis was the delinquent, knockabout son of … Read more
