Today is July 4th, also known as “Independence Day” in the US. While I would like to speak of the United States today, I think there are some lessons that can be applied to another group called “United” as well. Undoubtedly, you have often heard the expression, “United we stand,…
Some things that haven’t completely slipped under the radar of current events include news on the Euro, Thailand, a UK preacher arrested for “abusive or insulting language” and, of course, Texas textbooks.
