Growing up in the 70s I have fond memories of Walter Cronkite. I remember hearing his voice fill our living room every evening. With his passing we also lose what greatness in journalism really was. In 15 minutes Cronkite could give you the news that was important to our nation. Could you imagine someone doing […]
From the HuffPo: In a video obtained by Al Jazeera and broadcast Monday, Lieutenant-Colonel Gary Hensley, the chief of the US military chaplains in Afghanistan, is seen telling soldiers that as followers of Jesus Christ, they all have a responsibility “to be witnesses for him.” “The special forces guys – they hunt men basically. We […]

Karzai told a delegation from the Council that his country needed to know how […]
