Cal ThomasWhile contemplating the horror of two young and soon to be engaged Israeli Embassy employees who were gunned down by a man shouting “free Palestine” and “I did it for Gaza,” outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., last week, I recalled the opening line to a song from the old off-Broadway musical “The Fantasticks” – “You wonder how these things begin.” That song speaks to the love between a boy and a girl. Applied to the Washington shootings it makes you wonder how hate begins.

David GrousnickCharles Swindoll tells a funny story about a nine-year-old named Danny who came bursting out of Sunday school like a wild stallion. His eyes were darting in every direction as he tried to locate either mom or dad. Finally, after a quick search, he grabbed his Daddy by the leg and yelled, “Man, that story of Moses and all those people crossing the Red Sea was great!” His father looked down, smiled, and asked the boy to tell him about it.

Javier SanchezWhat would I do with another 45 years? If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: Life is short. But I’m beginning to think just the opposite. Life is long. Life is great. Certainly arduous. But most importantly, life is for the living. On Mother’s Day I went to visit a friend. We talked and laughed. It had been too long since I visited Genoveva. But luckily, she was still the same. Bright smile, courteous and as always had a hot cup of coffee ready for me.
