On Memorial Day a group of Boy Scouts held a 'retirement ceremony' for 125+ U.S. flags that were no longer serviceable. The ceremony was part of an Eagle Scout project designed and carried out by Kougar Lanier. His idea for an Eagle project that would gather used flags to be "destroyed in a dignified way" was in large part based on inquiries from citizens to Scout troops about retiring flags. Lanier said, "I discovered there was no regular, ongoing process to retire U.S. flags." Lanier...

Q: Since the Bible says God created everything, doesn’t this mean He also created the devil? And if He created the devil, doesn’t this mean God is actually responsible for all the evil in the world? A friend of mine who likes to argue about religion asked me this, and I didn’t know what to say. A: I seriously doubt if your friend really wants an answer to his question; I suspect instead that he is only using this as an excuse to keep from facing his need to repent of his sins and submit his life to Christ. Unfortunately some people are like...

Do I think that LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to win another championship? As I write these words it is Saturday afternoon and Golden State is ahead one game and only one game has been played. I do think that LeBron James is simply the best player playing professional basketball at this time so if he can get his team going his way, and he is very good at that, he should be able to take this series. However, I will say that there is something about Golden State winning the first game that is unnerving. There is something else that...
