Well, it's the dog days of August, and my Philadelphia Eagles' season opener is still a few weeks off. So I figured I would spice things up a bit. And what better way to do that than with killer robots? Well, that may be an overstatement. But you have to admit, this is pretty cool:
The legendary Vince Lombardi was known to use a clever coaching strategy during practice. He would grab a football, summon his players around him and say, "Gentlemen, this is a football." The point he wanted to drive home, of course, was the importance of football's fundamentals. As Christians, we need to be reminded of the fundamentals of our faith.
Last night I had the strangest dream. It was a bright, sunny day, and I was driving through Utah. Suddenly, a large dinosaur appeared, and proceeded to devour a cow in front of us.

What we saw resembled a scene out of John Steinback's "The Grapes of Wrath." Cars, pick-up trucks and trailers piled high with belongings formed a long caravan on the hot, dusty road. Many Jews left for the last time the only home they'd ever known.
Back in June, I produced a story for the 700 Club (Watch here) detailing the growth of Al-Qaeda in North Africa's Islamic Maghreb.
It's an area stretching from Libya to Mauritania where large numbers of veterans of the Iraq jihad are returning home to employ their newfound "skills."
