For obvious reasons, the title caught my eye. I could make the same argument about the Department of Education and No Child Left Behind. But I think I have done that already. Probably more than once.
A while back, we heard about teachers dropping the Holocaust from their lesson plans in order to [...]
That a pastor can so succinctly summarize my thoughts on the condition of the family doesn’t really surprise me. The 1861 date did a little. It sounds so much like today (emphasis mine):
