AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH…..OR A CONVENIENT FICTION?
This is the title of the PACIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE’S new documentary, in which Dr. Steven Hayward takes a look at AL GORE’S EXAGGERATIONS and applies some scientific sanity.

HOW DOES FRANCIS SCHAEFFER RELATE TO THE MARINES?
Perhaps only that his grandson became one…...
Francis Schaeffer wrote a LOT OF BOOKS about modern culture and a Christian worldview, including THE GOD WHO IS THERE. He was a missionary to Switzerland, and established L’ABRI FELLOWSHIP, which still operates study centers around the world.
His son, Frank Schaeffer, was the youngest child and only boy, with three older sisters who appeared to join the parents in spoiling him pretty thoroughly.
UPDATE: You would do well to read SCHAEFFER’S OTHER BOOKS about military service - for those who serve, as well as for those on the home front. Most of us, in the days of the volunteer military, are seriously out of touch with what it’s like for those on whom we depend for our liberty. The least we owe them is awareness.

WE DON’T SEE TOO MANY MOVIES…...
But THIS ONE looks worth the time and effort.
JOHN PODHORETZ, who writes for NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE, has written a wonderful review, which ends with these words:
In the end, The Namesake is about the discovery every first-generation American makes about his parents—that the journey they had to make was far more difficult and complex than anything their children have had to face. And the great beauty of this movie is Gogol’s slow realization that the emotional reticence of his parents—their failure to speak endearments to each other and to make public displays of affection—means far less than the unshakable love they feel for each other, and for the children for whom they have given up so much, and from whom they have asked so little in return.
