At least his intentions were good

OCONOMOWOC, Wisconsin (AP) — A man says he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.

“Now I feel stupid,” said James Van Iveren, who has been charged in the case. “This really is nothing, nothing but a mistake.”

According to a criminal complaint, the neighbor told police that Van Iveren pounded on the door and kicked it open without warning February 12, damaging the frame and lock.

“Where is she?” Van Iveren demanded, thrusting the sword at the neighbor, the complaint said. “Where is she?”

The neighbor told police Van Iveren became increasingly aggressive as he repeated the question, insisting that he had heard a woman being raped. The complaint said that, with the sword pointed at him, the neighbor led Van Iveren throughout the apartment, opening closet doors to prove he was alone.

The neighbor later played for police the part of the DVD he believed Van Iveren heard downstairs.

Angels We Have Heard on High

In the past few years I have been able to acquire tape recordings of what appears to be angels singing, at four different locations, one in China and three in the U.S. The tapes were buried in storage boxes until recently, when I decided to search for them and make them available on my Web site.

Someone has asked how do we know these are angels and not demons. Easy answer. Praising Jesus, the Son of God, is not in the job description of demons! They cannot stand to be around when praise to Him is going on, because that reminds them of their defeat on the cross.

Pastor Gives Rabbi Kidney

It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke: A minister and a rabbi walk into a hospital.

But the Rev. Karen Onesti and Rabbi Andrew Bossov of Mount Laurel, N.J., don’t care if people laugh-as long as they get the message that being an organ donor is the ultimate act of compassion.

On Jan. 23, Onesti, pastor of Masonville-Rancocas United Methodist Church, donated her left kidney to her friend Bossov, rabbi at Mount Laurel’s Adath Emanu-El synagogue.

Now recovering, Onesti is scheduled to return to her pulpit on Easter Sunday, and Bossov expects to be back at his synagogue in time to celebrate Passover in early April.
