In June when a judge told them he would make sure they were both executed as "apostates", they responded with courage, telling the judge to "expedite his sentence." Following the recent political turmoil in Iran, 600 women have joined Maryam and Marzieh in Evin prison. We encourage you to continue praying and writing to Maryam and Marzieh to make sure they are not forgotten. They have been strengthened by the prayers and help of believers like you. Write to the government requesting they be released. More Info...http://www.prisoneralert.com/pprofil... - Melanie Reed

That is why G.K. Chesterton caught me up short. In his Autobiography, he recalls how in a rhyme he wrote as a child, "I asked through what incantation or prenatal purgatories I must have passed, to earn the reward of looking at a dandelion." - Melanie Reed from Bookmarklet

(continued from above) meanings. Specifically, Works are not Conduct and Conduct is necessary that we prove Christ's invitation with it. Works are what we do by faith to demonstrate our love for Him to others. Neither earns us the undeserved gift of everlasting life. But the absence of either or both can undermine or destroy a heart that needs to hear the of the salvation of our Lord. http://www.rzim.org/USA... - Melanie Reed

You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God. 2Cor.3:3 - Melanie Reed

While an "oldie" its still a "goodie". I've seen this film and anybody interested in filmograghy will be interested to know that JPS is played by that interesting character actor, Clifton Webb (also of "Mr. Belvedere" fame-the original "Mr. Belvedere" series of black and white films.) This film is based in part on John Phillip Sousa's own book. - Melanie Reed from Bookmarklet

One of the greatest obligatos ever written! John Phillips Sousa was definitely a national treasure! Cranking this one up and remembering the day I conquered that obligato on my flute! man! that felt good! - Melanie Reed

Not exactly what I used to play when I was a member of the original Indianapolis Flute Club...but close enough. ;) - Melanie Reed

Tommy felt that one of the worst problems in our country today was family breakdown and fatherlessness. He railed against intentional unwed childbearing and the ease with which divorce was possible. He didn't like that we have become a society that values the rights of adults to do their own thing over our responsibility to protect our children. As a judge I have long held a front row seat to the wreckage left behind by our culture of disposable marriage and casual divorce that my brother so despised..But no-fault divorce's broad acceptance as an unquestioned social good helped usher in an era that fundamentally altered the seriousness with which marriage is viewed. It effectively ended marriage as a legal contract since either party can terminate it, with or without cause. This leaves many people struggling to remake their lives after painful divorces that they do not want. It also left many parents cut off from, or sidelined in, the lives of the children they love. - Melanie Reed from Bookmarklet
