Pastor Clint Henry of Central Valley Baptist Church

Several parishioners at a baptist church in Meridian, Id., are facing child trafficking charges in Haiti for what appears to be their part in illegal adoptions.  They were allegedly, adopting some 33 Haitian children, but the government believes that the children were not properly researched to determine if the children actually have parents that are living and are searching for them.

Pastor Clint Henry of Central Valley Baptist Church had to explain to his congregation that 10 of their congregation were being held in Port Au Prince.  He told them that their only reason for being there was (more…)

Angela Martin and her mother Viola Brown Martin

American Idol is much more than what we might think.  Some of the contestants are really looking to make a better life for themselves aside from the Hollywood dream.  There are people really struggling and this is their only way out.  Ms. Angela Martin is the latest contestant on the show with real tragedy and on a quest for hope through the show.  Her mother has been missing since the day after Christmas and no clues, not even her abandoned car, has given the police anything to go on.

It appears that Chris Matthews was all flustered and discombobulated with adoration for President Obama Wednesday night after his first State of the Union address.  He was actually blushing and gushing like a school girl.  But, that disheveled energy has thus far put him in the hot seat.  But, I for one say, “Kudos!

When people say they’re christians and they are on a mission from God, they don’t need someone calling and writing into their show confusing the word.  The person who pulled this prank, SHAME ON YOU!  It appears that christian crusaders have a call-in show that is linked to both the Internet and phone lines.  It seems to be a christian info center of sorts.  This particular show is an international show and you can see the international numbers to call.  But, they’re also reading e-mails and one that came in from the FRESH PRINCE should’ve given them a little bit of a heads up that something might be up.
