Kim reminded me off this Super Bowl ad from 2002. It was the first Super Bowl after 9/11.

Last night, on the winning Super Bowl stage, CBS’ sports commentator Jim Nance asked Tony Dungy about the “social significance” of winning the game. He was referring, of course, to the fact that Dungy was the first African American coach to ever win the Super Bowl. Dungy’s response: I tell you what, I am proud…

Great post-Super Bowl quotes last night, “How could you not be happy for Tony Dungy given what he went through last year; losing his son to suicide, to stand up on that stage with Peyton Manning giving thanks to his God for what they have accomplished?

Now he is trying to get America’s attention about Afghanistan. He has written a tough piece about America’s…

Of all the unexpected things in the world, here is an article reporting on Christian resurgence in…Holland: When the “corporate prayer” movement first started in 1996, few people in Holland took any notice. Why should they have done so? After all, Holland’s manifest destiny was to become a fully secularized country, in which prayer was…

…that never hit the headlines. Mike Jones, the male prostitute who revealed the “secret” side of Pastor Ted Haggard’s life, visited Pastor Haggard’s former church on Sunday. According to the few media accounts available, Jones said that several people came up to him, shook his hand and said, “God bless you.” The associate pastor at…

The “Miracle on Ice” is Beliefnet’s greatest sports miracle. There, in Lake Placid, a bunch of college kids and an unknown hockey coach beat the Soviet Union and the rest of the world and won gold in the Olympics. In hindsight, the Soviet defeat foreshadowed their country’s decline and eventual destruction. Their core was hollow,…
