- Caring Community - The Solution - Nontraditional Careers Caring Community Editor, Times-Union: We would like to say how thankful we are that we live in the community that we do.We have recently experienced a life-changing and near life-ending experience, when a house fire struck our family and was nearly a complete loss, Nov.13.A picture and small caption was on the front page of your paper that day. As a family we just wanted to take time to thank everyone, starting with Ed Kipker who happened to be nearby.His quick response, instincts as a fireman and will of God putting him in the right place that afternoon, may have been what kept Adam with us that day.Thank you.

- Earth Disolving - Earth Disolving Earth Disolving Editor, Times-Union: Is the Earth evolving or dissolving? In the Jan.10 Newsweek, Kenneth L.Woodward wrote an article about the terrible tsunami that claimed so many lives in Southeast Asia.He lists the agony and questions by religious people.He explained, too, how Christians out there look to their faith to attempt to make sense out of the loss of lives and possessions. These believers had the "example of Jesus on the cross - the God who takes on human flesh and, with it, a criminal's cruel torturing and death!" It is important to remember why Jesus, the Son of God, took on himself our nature.He came to make a reconciliation of the world unto God.He came to be the sacrifice, the propitiation, the appeasement of a Holy God for all mankind and their sins.
