- Glad Or Sad? - Hunting Controversy - Hunting Preserve - Agriculture Glad Or Sad? Editor, Times-Union: When God looks at me, at you, what do we think he thinks? Is he glad or sad? There is a Bible verse (Romans 8:26) which reads that God's spirit pleads for us with yearnings which cannot be described. Now go and look at his son, Jesus, hanging on the cross, crucified for your sins and mine, to make the way to Heaven a possibility for you and me.In less than a month, Feb.13, we enter the Lenten season, which leads us to Jesus on the cross and then on to Easter.

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle discovered both deductive and inductive logic.Notice my word is discovered, not invent or create, for reason and logic already existed in the great reservoir of understanding that I've referred to in an earlier letter.
