"A town meeting"
by Davy Crockett
“And now for the invocation…” said the mayor of my town as the Town Council began its meeting. I was pleasantly surprised to see this practice has survived in our secular age.
D.C. Sniper Executed
by Ken Frank
In October, 2002, just a little over a year after September 11, 2001, the greater Washington, D.C. region was terrorized by indiscriminate sniper shootings killing ten people and critically injuring three others. Police soon figured out this rampage was being conducted by a serial killer or killers on the loose. For three weeks people within a hundred miles of the city feared to leave home or work place worrying the killer just might have them in his or her sights. Fearful people hurried from home to car to store or work place and then reversed the routine. No one knew where he or she might strike next. Many stayed indoors, TV shows recommended ways to avoid becoming targets, schoolchildren were kept inside at recess, parents covered their children on the way to the school buses and police officials declared no one was safe.

by Marc Arseneault

More and more people are finding themselves in a desperate race to find water.
“Keeping score…”
by Davy Crockett
Many families have a “rich uncle,” and I had mine. My father’s brother had the knack.  Whatever he did seemed to prosper.  A product of hard times in the Great Depression, he had known poverty, scratching out a living on his father’s truck farm raising vegetables for market. He was highly motivated to do well and he had the energy, drive and desire to pursue his dreams and ambitions.  As the years rolled by, his efforts paid off as he plowed the earnings from his automobile business into real estate. He acquired city property, houses, apartments, farm land – any property that was for sale.
The Fall of the Berlin Wall: Bible Prophecy and the Hand of God
by William Bowmer
Little Angela Kasner, daughter of a Lutheran pastor in Russian-dominated East Germany, was barely two years old when an American radio preacher published in his magazine an astonishing statement: “The way is being prepared for a colossal third force in world politics—a European Federation of Nations more powerful than either Russia or the United States!… We have shown years in advance what would happen to Russia’s ill-fated Empire in Eastern Europe” (Plain Truth, December 1956, p. 3).
