    Larry Stout

    It is hard to tell at the moment what long-lasting impact an event may have. President George W. Bush did not want to impede the rescue work going on after Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, and thus flew over New Orleans rather than stopping to demonstrate his concern. Katrina haunted him till the end

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Maybe it’s me, but I was surprised and a little astounded at the seemingly underwhelming response to the presence of a Little League team from Cuba playing at the Little League World Series for the first time.

    As I gathered the information this past week, I intended to write about how we must protect our children when they go to school.

    Tim Hartzell

    I chose the title of Truth in Tension for this series of articles because truth can usually be found in the tension that exists between two opposing opinions. In case you’re not aware of it, the Church is filled with opposing opinions — and division. Division is not new to the Church. Christianity has been
