As I write this, the Jewish community is celebrating the beginning of Hanukkah. The festival of lights commemorates the miraculous victory God gave His people over the Syrian Greek rebels who had conquered the Holy Land and tried to force Israel to accept and become part of the unholy Greek culture. God miraculously helped His people to bring glory to Himself, not for their prideful claim to earthly greatness. To add insult to injury, the invaders had defiled the... Read more

Personally, I’m not a sports fanatic and only watch certain nontraditional sports, which I played growing up as an Army brat. Despite being active, I don’t put my strength, focus, and time into playing sports. I am not... Read more
