The Nobel Prize For Potential Goes To President Obama

- By Tony Beam
Ask most Texans the meaning of the word potential and they will say, “It means you ain’t done nothing yet.” It may not be eloquent but what it lacks in eloquence it makes up for in accuracy. Merriam-Webster may have said it better defining potential as, “existing in possibility or capable of development into actuality,” but the meaning is the same.
Netanyahu's Offer
- Details
- By Al Snyder
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu surprised the world recently by announcing his government's willingness to allow a Palestinian state to exist alongside Israel. But not surprisingly he attached several conditions to his offer. And not surprisingly, the Palestinians quickly and totally rejected them all.
The conditions include recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, Jerusalem's remaining the undivided capital of Israel, the disarming and dismantling of the Palestinian terrorist groups, the demilitarization of a new Palestinian state, the retaining of the Jewish so-called "settlements," and the dis-allowing of Arab so-called "refugees" to return and reside in the Jewish state.
We Have Met The Enemy – And He Is Us!

Scattered among the wheat in Christian churches are the tares sown by the devil (Matthew 13:25-36). Like Judas, they may look like the wheat. They preach, they teach, they hold office in the church.
They speak pious words and often may use the right terminology. But since they have been planted in the church by the devil, they're there to do his work to destroy the church, to stumble the true believers, to hurt them, to hinder their love for Jesus Christ and cause them confusion.
A Tale Of Two Generals (With apologies to Charles Dickens)
- Details
- By Tony Beam
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity....” The opening lines of Charles Dickens classic, A Tale of Two Cities, serve as a reminder of the social parallels that existed between France and London in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Dickens original work was not published as a complete novel but was revealed through weekly installments in the Dickens’ literary periodical All the Year Round. Readers who were hooked by the story line had to patiently wait as the drama of Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton unfolded from week to week.
The Booth Brothers
- Details
- By Keith Crowe
This week’s article is about a group of young men from Brandon, Florida, called The Booth Brothers. As I said these men are young but the story goes back a lot further than these young men do. It all started with their dad Ron Booth and he was a long way from Florida when he got his start in gospel music. Ron was born in West Virginia and moved to Detroit when he was thirteen years old and this is where the singing began. Ron had a brother named Charles and they began singing together. Soon after these two began to sing three other brothers joined the group and this was the beginning of the Booth Brothers. All this happened along about 1957.
Handing Out Snakes

- By Heather Sheen
“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:9-11)
I once read a supposedly amusing account of a mother whose young son left the house one morning to catch the school bus. But he returned after a couple minutes and in a discouraged voice told her that school was boring and he hated it and wanted to stay home. Her reply was something along the lines of, “Life’s tough. Get on the bus.”
