What causes someone to do this sort of thing?  Hate.  You have toreally hate someone so bad that you would gladly kill yourself for a chance to kill them. There is no other excuse.

The New York Times has decided to publish announcements of homosexual marriages in its wedding section. John Ydstie talks to Harlan Pruden, project coordinator at Speak OUT!, a public policy program at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York. Pruden says the paper's decision is a step in the right direction.

Gentle Ministries would like to go on record stating that we do not agree.

There are 16 books of the Bible in the following paragraph...can you find them?

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there really are sixteen names of the books in the Bible in this story.

Missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham were kidnapped on May 27, 2001, from a resort off the island of Palawan in the Philippines.  They continue to be held hostage by members of the Abu Sayyaf Group. Martin grew up in the Philippines, where his parents have been missionaries for more than 32 years.

Anniversaries are important to kidnappers and terrorists.  One complete year has passed since the Burnhams were kidnapped.  We watch closely as this date passes.  There is still no news of their release and very little news of their well-being.  Please continue to pray for Martin and Gracia and their families.
