The pitcher for the Boston Red Sox [Curt Schilling] cemented his place in baseball history when he won Game Six of the 2004 American League Championship Series (ALCS) over the New York Yankees. He pitched just days after ankle surgery and endured a sore and bleeding ankle to go seven innings and allow only one run. His bloody sock became a part of Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox went on to win the World Series. Schilling has three
There’s no need for me to tell you that this general election season has been one of the most bizarre in our history. With close to two dozen candidates vying for the presidential nominations of both major parties, it’s been a little like watching an overcrowded horse race.

Recently, New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo told a radio interviewer that “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay… have no place in the state of New York.” New York’s new mayor quickly seconded that motion, “…100 percent.” Cuomo later tried to walk that statement back by saying that he meant the extremists had no place in New York politics.

Both Christianity and the Bible are under attack in these last days in ways we could never have imagined just a generation ago. Dan Cathy, CEO of the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain is learning that unfortunate fact the hard way.
