Recently Australia heard from NSW officials, not once but 2 times the phrase “New World Order,” with a third ear-witnessed by politicians in a parliamentary meeting. It trended as the world began to remember 9/11 2001. But the phrase was more famously re-introduced to politics – September 11 – 1990! ... More

Most of the trees I know are evergreen. But in the landscape are some imports that mark the seasons by dropping their leaves every year. Every year the dead trees as spring begins, suddenly, begin a resurrection. How do those trees know?

After 800 years the Church of England wishes to repent and apologise for the anti-Jewish outcome of a Catholic Synod in Oxford in 1222. The concept of repentance and apology is to turn around, but in the Bible it is only of use if it results in a new path that leads to salvation.
