Catholic Bishops Label Trump 3/5 Rule a “Grave Injustice.”

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 12:19 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Donald Trump has proposed to only count each illegal immigrant as 3/5 of a person. The practice of counting a human being as 3/5 of a person is exactly the formula that was used to compute how slaves were once counted for reapportionment. There are simple, practical considerations involved in this computation, and those considerations affect everyone in a state. As a personal, Okie, example, reducing the representation here in Oklahoma leaves us with fewer people to fight for our interests... Read more

How to See Comet Neowise

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 1:34 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Comet Neowise is still visible for a few days. Better look now. You won’t get another chance for 6,800 years! Neowise is a “new” comet that was just discovered last March. I don’t suppose there’s any surprise in that since the lasts time it came around humans were just beginning to get the hang of what we call “civilization,” at least in a few places. Ancient people were astute star gazers so it’s entirely possible they took not of Neowise... Read more

Is Persecution a Gift?

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 2:07 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Christian persecution goes on in the world today at an alarming rate. Upwards of 70,000 Christians have been killed by Boko Haram in Nigeria during the last 20 years. Christians are persecuted ruthlessly in many countries that are majority Muslim. Then, there’s China, North Korea’s persecution of Christianity by totalitarian atheist regimes. In India, the Christians are persecuted by Hindus. When I say “persecution” I mean deadly violence: beheadings, rapes, beatings, hangings. I mean armed soldiers killing every man in... Read more

Don’t Worry Father. We’ll be Back.

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 2:13 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Catholics are going to go back to mass when the pandemic is over. I gather that there are evidently a few priests who fear that now that Catholics have experienced the ease and convenience of tuning into their parish mass on the internet, they won’t be willing to return to the sitting/standing/kneeling/coughing-when-incense-is-used for-real Mass with an actual Eucharist. Some of the solutions the priestly caste are advancing for what they fear will be a forthcoming mass apostasy that reduces the... Read more

All that You Have is Your Soul

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 2:39 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

This song conveys such truth. If you give away the things you believe, if you compromise on your core values, nothing you gain by doing it is adequate compensation. The say Jesus put it was What does it profit you, if you gan the whole world, but lose your own soul? Your soul is you. It the only you that is. Your body is just a shell. When you die, you step out it like taking off a coat. Nothing that... Read more

Lift High the Gospels. Be the Faithful Remnant.

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 2:54 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

These past few years have exposed a lot of things we never wanted to see, and many of us didn’t think were true. We’ve seen the sheer stupidity of a lot of people, how easily they are duped. People we love, people we’ve looked up to and trusted, have demonstrated that they are at best easily deluded fools, and at worst, hypocritical phonies. They either don’t believe a lot of the things they have said they believe, or their discernment... Read more

Ravi Zacharias’ Death is a Great Loss to Christian Witness

Last updated on: July 9, 2020 at 12:32 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

I evidently missed a huge milestone in our corporate Christian life here in America. My fave Christian apologist of the millennial era, Ravi Zacharias, ended his earthly pilgrimage on May 19 and went home to Our Lord. Rev Zacharias was diagnosed with malignant sarcoma a few months ago as a result of what appeared at the time to be routine back surgery. He wrote on his Facebook page that he experienced continued, severe pain after the surgery. Then, the results... Read more

You Raise Me Up

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 7:20 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

I sing this hymn a lot, especially when I’m feeling down. Jesus really does raise us up. Corrie ten Boom said that what she learned from being in the Nazi Concentration Camps is that “there is no pit so deep that He is not there.” No matter what happens to you, He is there. And He will raise you up. Read more
