Chuck Freeman wrote a new diary post: Does America still have the Moral Courage of 1776?
“We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honour.”
These words were the stirring zenith to my Independence Day sermon. They give me red, white and blue chill bumps every time I utter them. I arise at 5:30 a.m. every Sunday that I conduct the church service. As I wash my [...]

Chuck Freeman wrote a new diary post: Elijah’s Empty Chair of Freedom in Oslo
A Jewish elder speaks during the Passover seder.
