I'll be traveling up to the NYC area to visit family about twice a month. I think I still have your e-mail, if not I'll ask JT or Camel. Yeah, I’m in Maryland. I’ll be traveling up to the NYC area to

But, have you heard her interview on the topic on Metro's podcast? ...the one where she politely and round-aboutly says that Korean men just aren't man enough for her? If she was a male expat in Korea suggesting the same thing, you'd have been spewing plenty of your hate her (his?) way. Still enamored by her smile?

Great speech, and he's still the guy I'd like to see y'all migooks elect. My only nitpick was the contrast between "my <b>former</b> pastor Reverend Wright" is a man I can no more disown than I can disown my own grandmother...". Reverend Wright's words were called misguided, offensive, inflammatory, unhelpful, etc., to distance Obama from the Rev, plus that "former pastor" line got a couple repeats. And yet Obama still managed to insert a really quite good statement of loyalty to the Rev, who officiated his wedding and baptized his daughters. A good performance from a man who, while speaking well about weighty subjects, still had to carefully find the words to let him have it both ways. It may be looked back upon as a landmark speech in America's never-ending conversations with itself about race, and if it is, it'll be too bad that political necessity is so evident in some parts.

He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his folowers at one time, most of whom are still alive..(1Corinthian) Are these all man-made lies as some fictions suggest, or was this the reliable Truth? Isn't life itself funny? Are we here because of some random events or by the intricate design of the Supreme Being? Your future destination(after death) may lie in your decision on this issue.

Isn’t life itself funny? Are we here because of some random events or by the intricate design of the Supreme Being?
