    Back when the generals led their troops into battle rather than directing them from a ‘situation room’ half a world away, it is said that Alexander the Great’s position was about to be over-run by the enemy.

    WHY CIRCUMCISION? Why not a tattoo on the arm or something similar? Circumcision was a hidden sign. It seems to me it has something to do with the promise of Abraham having many descendants, being fruitful and multiplying. The sign reaffirms God's promise right at the very place where the sexual ...read more

     | 3,005 views

    "MAKE ME!" They had behaved badly in class but they were equally disruptive in the detention room, swearing, acting tough and defying anything I said with a smart comment. Unacceptable behaviour. I have never really had a problem with anger, but the closest I came was in that classroom. Teaching ...read more

    POWER AND "KING OF THE HILL" When I was a kid, we used to play a game called "King of the Hill." Everyone would get together and choose some place to be the "hill."

    NOBLE SAVAGES For a while people have believed that our problems exist because we are too civilized.

    SPIRITUAL ACNE Have you seen ads for Clearsil, Proactiv, or other acne treatments?
