The Bible makes it very clear what being a Christian is about, but for new believers, it’s important to explain the qualities that come with being a Christian. Apostle Paul understood this, and used his life to share what being a Christian means with King Agrippa, a Hebrew King, and Festus, a Roman pro-counsel in Acts 26. He shared how he was headed towards Damascus under the authority and commission of the chief priests. He also shared how he saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around him and his c... Full story
Though the housing market might not be booming, there are still buyers out there looking for a place to call their own. Some potential sellers might prefer a patient approach to selling their homes, choosing to do so when the market rebounds and homes regain some of their lost value. Other sellers might not have a choice and must make due with selling in a lackluster market. Regardless of which category you’re in, there are easy ways to boost your home’s value. Making minor changes to a home can add to your asking price, whet... Full story

SAN DIEGO – The region’s agriculture report offers a ray of sunshine in today’s cloudy economy. The 2010 Crop Statistics and Annual Report released by the San Diego County Department of Agriculture, Weights & Measures (AWM) shows the value of agriculture increased seven percent over 2009 figures. By contrast, 2009 figures were down slightly from the year before. While many local industries are struggling to stay afloat during these hard times, agriculture remains not...

There is not one square foot of concrete in all of North County that didn’t get its source of sand and rock from a quarry of some kind. That is true worldwide and as a resident since 1942, I watched, read and listened to NIMBY complain about Mission Valley mining, Pacific Highway widening, I-15 building and “improving” Old 395. When will we learn that without the products, without developers (nasty word), we would be living in an uncivilized environment our great-grandparents worked so hard to upgrade? The millions of redwo...

Global warming caused by man is a serious issue that we all must address. Or should we? The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met... Full story
I was absolutely appalled when I read this letter about the undermining of Mr. Donohue’s efforts to bring this much needed service to our children in Fallbrook. I had an occasion to volunteer at this afterschool program for a few weeks and I found myself amazed at the dedication and kindness shown to the children by Mr. Donohue. It is not often that we find someone so obviously selfless in the pursuit of encouraging and enabling children, at risk, to find a safe haven in which to study and advance themselves. He should be app... Full story
My family has had season tickets since the Dan Fouts days. This past week AIG (American International Group) meet with Angelinos to discuss our Chargers moving to Los Angeles. It appears everyone knows about the move, but those in San Diego. It appalls me that the Spanos family will not comment on the eminent move. With the economy as it is, our Chargers bring smiles and hope for a run in the playoffs. The Chargers organization boosts the local economy and sustains many restaurants in San Diego during the season. The...
During the week of Aug. 15, I received an email from one of the banking institutions that I have a credit card with, asking me to respond to their inquiry or I would lose my online banking privileges and more. Something was strange about this email, so I put off responding until later that day when I called the phone number on my credit card instead of answering the email. The email was not from my bank; the email was a fraud – someone trying to get entry into my account. Be aware of emails that claim they are from... Full story
