JERUSALEM, Israel — According to Israeli archaeologist Shimon Gibson’s new book “The Final Days of Jesus,” christians who take the route of Via Dolorosa go the wrong way: “In the Gospel of John, you have a description of the trial taking place at the Lithostratus, Greek for pavement, at a place called Gabata, which is the word for an ancient hillock or a rocky outcrop, and this is what we have here.” the author says about the route he found.JERUSALEM, Israel — According to Israeli archaeologist Shimon Gibson’s... more

L’AQUILA, Italy — Thousands of weeping mourners took part Friday in an emotional funeral Mass for the victims of an earthquake that devastated the mountainous Abruzzo region of central Italy, leaving 289 people dead.
The service was led by the Vatican’s second highest official, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who told the mourners that death teaches us that “everything can stop in a moment.” When everything ends, he said, “All that remains is love.”
Emotions ran very high in the crowd. Sobs could be heard. Friends and family comforted each other while Red Cross volunteers distributed bottles of water to distraught mourners.
The fact that Vatican had granted a special dispensation to hold a Mass on Good Friday, the only day on the Roman Catholic calendar on which Mass is not normally said, added to the emotion of the day. Priests wore flowing white robes draped with purple, the color traditionally worn at Easter and for funerals.
As the service began under partly cloudy skies in a vast parade ground, there were 205 coffins laid out in the vast square, brown for adults and white for children. Most were covered with wreaths of flowers.
The coffins of four young sisters from the Germinelli family lay side by side, bearing their names and dates of birth: Rosa 1992, Michaela 1995, Chiara 1998, Giuseppina 2002. Each had a large bunch of white lilies wrapped in cellophane with a ribbon reading “From Papa.”
“We don’t even have more tears to cry,” said a woman who identified herself only by her first name, Lorella. “We’re realizing we are nothing. Life can slip through your hands from one minute to the next.”

I was outside at the curb looking around at the freakish clouds as the tornado sirens were blaring away. Ironically, yet fittingly, I was wearing my Twister t-shirt. After a few minutes the sirens faded and then it became eeriely quiet. Moments later, I heard a couple of snapping twigs in the trees around me. Then, loud thuds as the golfball and larger sized hail pounded everything in its path. Here in Fort Worth, TX was only a 29-second glimpse of what had happened that day. A few miles down the road in Haltom City, TX is where the tornado had touched down. Happy Good Friday!!! 4-13-2007I was outside at the curb looking around at the freakish clouds as the tornado sirens... more
