Three facts you may not know about Lady Diana’s wedding

Last updated on: July 30, 2021 at 6:11 am By Jim Denison

My wife and I were two of the estimated 750 million people who watched Prince Charles marry Lady Diana Spencer forty years ago yesterday. Here’s what we didn’t know: Diana accidentally spilled some perfume on her wedding dress prior to the ceremony. Her makeup artist then told her to hold that spot on her dress as she was walking to make it seem that she was lifting the front of her dress so she wouldn’t step on it. Diana also... Read more

The cluster, now named the “Serendipity Sapphire,” is thirty-nine inches long and twenty-eight inches wide.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s daughter added to royal line of succession: The key to changing human nature

Last updated on: July 27, 2021 at 5:40 am By Jim Denison

Let’s start with some good news: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was added to the royal line of succession yesterday. Here’s some more good news: an asteroid the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza missed us when it flew by our planet Sunday. Here’s my guess: you find the second story a bit more relevant to your life than the first and thus the better news of the two. That’s understandable. Lilibet is now eighth... Read more

Last updated on: July 26, 2021 at 5:40 am By Jim Denison

More than twenty-two thousand firefighters fought “extreme fire behavior” across the West yesterday as homes burned and thousands of residents fled fast-spreading flames. The largest fire in the US is continuing to grow this morning, one of eighty-eight large wildfires crews are battling throughout the country. Six new large fires were reported Saturday.

As I am writing today’s Daily Article, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics will begin shortly. The event starts on July 23 at 8 p.m. local time at the National Stadium in Tokyo, which will be 6 a.m. where I live in Dallas, Texas.

Last updated on: July 22, 2021 at 5:34 am By Jim Denison

A top US Catholic Church official has resigned after cell phone data was used to track him on Grindr, a queer dating app, and to gay bars. Twelve women filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Liberty University, accusing the school of a pattern of mishandling cases of sexual assault and harassment. And a Southern Baptist megachurch in Florida was “shocked and devastated” to learn that a former campus pastor was recently arrested for allegedly grooming and sexually assaulting a young girl...

What do Jeff Bezos, Neil Armstrong, and Sir Edmund Hillary have in common? The power of trusting a power greater than ourselves

Last updated on: July 21, 2021 at 5:52 am By Jim Denison

Jeff Bezos and his fellow passengers on the spaceflight that made headlines yesterday were just that—passengers. They had no operational control of their spacecraft. Their rocket was built by Blue Origin, a company Bezos founded twenty years ago but does not lead. It has 3,500 employees, none of whom were on the flight. While Bezos and his fellow passengers had no control of the technology on which they risked their lives, at least they trusted 2021 technology. By contrast, their... Read more

Last updated on: July 20, 2021 at 5:32 am By Jim Denison

If you could join Jeff Bezos on his journey into space today, would you? It’s a little late now—the launch is set for 8 a.m. CDT. Bezos, his brother Mark, aviation pioneer Wally Funk, and eighteen-year-old Oliver Daemon will be on board the New Shepard rocket traveling sixty-two miles into space. Blue Origin has tested the system with fifteen autonomous flights without passengers. Their tweet last night reported that they are “a go for launch.” Jeff says he’s not nervous,... Read more

Australian officials seek to rebrand shark attacks: Three satanic deceptions and the privilege of sharing life’s greatest gift

Last updated on: July 19, 2021 at 5:36 am By Jim Denison

Australian officials would like us to rebrand shark attacks as “negative encounters.” The swimmer who was bitten by a great white shark at a beach near San Francisco last month may not agree. Officials in Texas are assuring the public that the Dallas resident who has the first-ever case of monkeybox in our state is “not a reason for alarm.” The infected patient in isolation at a Dallas hospital may not agree. It is human nature to downplay threats we... Read more
