I always think that a little G. K. Chesterton is helpful when thinking about miracles, atheism and natural law. Below is a re-enactment of a debate between two journalists: Chesterton, Christian and common sense apostle, and Robert Blatchford, atheist and socialist. Over a two-year period, these two wordsmiths sparred with each other in two different papers about a number of things pertaining to “Determinism” and miracles. Their debate is both entertaining and enlightening.
An interesting aside: After Blatchford’s wife died, he became a spiritualist and maintained that he felt her presence.
Is What You Believe Really Real?

Five or six years ago Focus on the Family released “The Truth Project” DVD series, and I went through it as a discussion leader of a small group. I haven’t looked at it since, so when a friend of mine said a group was going to go through it and invited me, I agreed. I thought it would be good to refresh what I learned from the DVDs and maybe learn some new things I missed the last time.
What a sad statement about the growing culture of death in the Netherlands: Advocates for euthanasia and assisted suicide are celebrating a decade of their legality by hosting a weeklong film festival called the "Week of Euthanasia."

Susan G. Komen Should Reverse Its Reversal
By: Ginny Mooney|Published: February 6, 2012 2:28 PM
I’ve had two cousins with breast cancer saved by early detection.
I support the tremendous work The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation is doing to raise awareness of breast cancer, increase early detection, and help reduce mortality rates form the disease. Yet I believe Komen should reverse its recent "reversal" and stop funding Planned Parenthood -- even though its support is earmarked for breast cancer education, screenings, and mammogram referrals.
Late last week I had a chance to see a new film called October Baby, set to open in theaters March 23. The movie tells the story of a college student who belatedly learns that she was adopted -- and that she's a survivor of abortion.
Give them credit: That's a perspective that I believe has very rarely been shown on film before.
