A speeding pickup rear-ended a woman’s sedan on the South Side on Friday morning and sheriff’s officials say the driver said it was Jesus’ will because the other motorist was not “driving like a Christian.â€

I was working on a list of things I have learned or been exposed to since leaving the Baptist church, with Advent being one of them. I have to admit the first time I was exposed to Advent it was a bit weird, only because it was something new to me, but I’m thankful that I have now embraced it. I hope the evangelicals that will be exposed to this as something new in their worship will find it just as enriching.

Docherty died on Thanksgiving at his home in central Pennsylvania, according to his wife, Sue Docherty.
She said her husband of 36 years had been in failing health for about three years.
“George said he was going to live to be a hundred and he was determined,” she said in a telephone interview Saturday. “It’s amazing that he was with us this long.”
Docherty, then pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, just blocks from the White House, gave a sermon in 1952 saying the pledge should acknowledge God.
