Fr. Glenn: Liar, Liar
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Who among us has never done something they regretted almost immediately. “Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time” is frequently heard, but many times it’s an excuse to justify an action taken when we should have—or actually did—know better.
Now, one need not be a believer in the divine to be able to glean wisdom from religious texts—products of thousands of years of human experience, trial and mistrial. Such is the story of Creation in the first book of the Bible: Genesis.
The books of the Bible are written in different styles—poetry, history, prophecy, etc. Many—likely Read More

Technology has helped to prevent auto theft in significant ways. Engine immobilizers, keyless entry and ignition, audible alarms and vehicle recovery systems have generally made cars harder to steal and easier to recover.
