‘The apostle Paul walks into a bar’ (an oldie but goodie)
(Copyright 03-24-2025) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) THREE DAYS before Christmas, I walked into a bar. I looked around, but no one was there, though the Packers were playing to a full house. After awhile a bartender appeared, all bubbly and bright, and I ordered a beer. As she popped the top, a stranger came in, dusting off snow, kind of nondescript. He had nary a smile, and for some reason he seemed older than he looked (though I’m not too good at judging the cover of a book). I SAID “HOWDY” and he said “Shalom, or, that is to say, […]
An Elderly Native Chief Prophesies the Destiny of George Washington and America
(Copyright 02-20-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) He cannot die in battle. The Great Spirit protects that man and guides his destinies. He will become chief of nations, and a people yet unborn will hail him the founder of a mighty nation (Hyatt, America’s Revival Heritage-Second Edition, 73). According to historian, George Bancroft, these words were spoken by an old Native American chief concerning George Washington several years before the Declaration of Independence. He spoke these words as he reminisced with Washington and others about a battle, 15 years previous, when they were on opposite sides during the French and Indian Wars. The Chief […]
An Unpayable Debt and Obligation
(Copyright) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina) Radio personality Charles Osgood related a news item out of Miami in which a young man working as a valet parking attendant at a hotel was routinely handed a tip for fetching a man’s car. Later, after the man drove off, the attendant looked at the tip and was startled to discover the man had given him a thousand dollars! The tip-giver was unaware of his mistake until well on his way back to his home in West Virginia. He immediately turned around and drove back to the hotel. He found that the […]
A New Beginning, An Inauguration!
(Copyright) by John Jewell (London, England) From January 23, 2009Naturally, the big news at the moment is the election of Mr. Barack Obama as president of the United States. The TV footage and radio interviews showed what a great deal of hope the American citizens, and also citizens in other nations, have in Mr. Obama. Indeed, many have shown a considerable faith in him, yet no one really knows a lot about him. As we said in a recent Letter from London he was born in Hawaii of an American mother from Kansas and a father who is a Kenyan […]
Have You Met or Seen an Alien?
by Jonathan Gray (New Zealand) “Sorry, your son has been killed in Vietnam,” Jenny Rowe was officially informed. The grieving mother was then comforted by a friend who invited her to come to a seance and she would meet her dead son.

An Orwellian America is Defining the Nation
(Copyright) by Richard Markland For decades Americans have been warned of a time in which George Orwell’s Novel “1984” would become a reality. The American people cannot say they have not been put on notice. Irreplaceable freedoms are being eliminated. The tactics used are invasive, immense in size and scope and without consideration for anyone or anything. The American people should be alarmed by what is taking place but there is not an understanding of what has become a frightening reality. There is a lack of foresight about what the future holds and a careless indifference towards how each and every person […]
