ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :

ezs note:  Here's one small way you can make a big difference in your town or city.  Find out when the library board meets in your town or city - then attend.  If for some reason board members seem squeamish about listing certain types of books, ask them why.  Attend early, and often.
