Conversations with a Calvinist – Denominations Order Coffee
An evening pause: Quite funny, and with a hint of truth. Also, you’d get the same thing if you did this about the Jewish faith, so don’t think this is Christian bashing.

Musiquizzers – Guess that song: 60’s
An evening pause: It is amazing how many of these short clips (as well as the full songs) are still so familiar and well known, considering its more than a half century since they were first played on the radio. Speaks well to their originality and uniqueness.

On this day when all should be celebrating Christopher Columbus and his willingness “sail beyond the sunset,” to use a phrase from Tennyson, this short video give us an accurate picture of the man, his times, and his achievements. It also puts the lie to the bigoted, hateful, leftist slanders that have been used in recent years to poison his legacy.
