The power behind the resurrection lives inside all true believers in Christ
By Austin Bishop
7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Walterine Odom in her letter to the editor (NSS 4/10/26) shows that she has an extreme case of TDS. She starts off her attack on my submission by facing the transgender issue. She says that there are only a "handful (literally!)" of transgenders in the 350 million Americans, implying that it is a negligible problem. Murderers account for a very, very small fraction of the population, but should we neglect them? Transgender males, having superior strength, have caused injuries and often dominated female sports. That is the reason why the Olympic committee has banned them.

Seeds of Delight
When are seeds of delight sewn?
Why could a mother hear her not-yet-speaking-the-king’s-English child babbling in the other room and recognize the rhythm of the poems she had read to her earlier?
Why does a little child look at a pansy flower and see a friendly face and proceed to have a conversation with it?
What is the source of a fascination with mathematics or mechanics or music or photography or words?

This space is usually reserved for grievances. There’s always something deserving of a good, old-fashioned rant. But not today.

Inflation, inflation everywhere, but no relief in sight. At least it seems that way.
The CPI spiked in March with prices rising the fastest since May 2024. The annual 3.3% rate was almost one point higher than the 2.4% reported for February. Particularly driving the increase was a 10.9% surge in energy costs resulting from the war in Iran, reported CNBC.
