Discovering The Young Church – Chapter 1: Peter and the Disciple
Cahapter 1. Peter and the Disciple In our lifetime, we have learnt more about the home life and environment of the apostle Peter than we found out in the previous 1800 years. This is due mainly to the work of a German Franciscan order which, in 1894, purchased some synagogue ruins from their Bedouin owners. They believed that this could be on the site of the New Testament town of Capernaum. In Jesus’ day Capernaum was a fishing and farming community stretching for half a kilometer along

Chapter VI:On The Rooftop
Continued From Chapter V: Of Kansas & Sunrises I don’t know why I was expecting anything else, but the process of saying goodbye was entirely underwhelming. I had gone through the whole process when I left Boston four years earlier and I recalled that even back then the process felt no different. Of course, it was different. When I left Boston after eighth grade, I had no promise of ever moving back. For all I knew, I would never again in my life see most of my Boston friends. But

Chief Seattle’s Speech
Chief Seattle's Speech /1854 Yonder sky that has wept tears of compassion upon my people for centuries untold, and which to us appears changeless and eternal, may change. Today is fair. Tomorrow it may be overcast with clouds. My words are like the stars that never change. Whatever Seattle says, the great chief at Washington can rely upon with as much certainty as he can upon the return of the sun or the seasons. The white chief says that Big Chief at Washington sends us greetings of friendshi

Having Fun With an Indoor RC Helicopter
For many years remote controlled airplanes have been quite common but an indoor rc helicopter has always been beyond my imagination. The technology involved in model helicopters is of a much higher level than what is needed for planes or cars. This hobby used to be reserved for people with plenty of cash and the willingness to persevere in learning how to fly them. As electronic parts are becoming smaller and cheaper, the specialized controllers are not reserved to the military anymore b
