Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Today is the commemoration of the Last Supper and an anniversary, of sorts, of Jesus’ betrayal by His disciple, Judas. (Once, when my kids were little, I pointed to a carving of The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci at the back of the Church as we left and asked if either of […]
Read More My Minority Report on Judas IscariotBy Charlie Johnston Shawnee, Kansas – You may or may not have noticed that David Daleiden’s Center for Medical Progress (CMP) dropped a video about a week and a half ago proving that some Planned Parenthood affiliates have been selling baby body parts for profit illegally.

Read More The Hope of the New YearBy Charlie Johnston Thomasville, Georgia – I have decided to hold off on writing the second and third installments of the three crises until after the first of the year.
