Save Michael Morales?
I recently read an article entitled “Save Michael Morales“. The author asks the following question:
The question remains, should we, at the execution hour of 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 21, care if Michael Morales lives or dies?
Unfortunately, he gives the following answer to his rhetorical question:
The answer is yes. We cannot ignore the intrinsic immorality of state-sponsored murder. If the right to life is a fundamental human right, it must apply universally, to all human beings.
We will always fall short in our efforts to honor human rights, to forgive, to reconcile, to rehabilitate and to heal. But we cannot, must …
Recent Reading

Well, he went on to say that it was a great article and I should read it. He asked me what my take on the situation was and what …

I added a general link to the “verse randomizer” that goes to an e-tract from Good News & Crossway Publishing. As for the verse randomizer itself, when I was looking for one as a WordPress plugin, but couldn’t really find one that did what I wanted. So, I ended up building it myself. I’ve got a little more work to do on it and I may release it as a plugin.
Understanding
I have devoured a couple of C.S. Lewis books this week - “The Screwtape Letters” and “The Great Divorce“. As I read them, I began to understand how little understanding I had of the true nature of spiritual things. And it was through this understanding of not understanding that I was finally able to understand.
Also, for material that was written over a half century ago, I found it quite relevent, even today. Reading these two books will give you insight into good & evil, right & wrong, and …
