Churches share the season's joy with musicals, nativity tableaus
Josh Spangler knows exactly where he'll be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight: In the woods next to Trinity Church, dressed as Joseph with a pregnant Mary in tow, pleading with an innkeeper for a room. His moment in the spotlight takes place every six minutes and is one scene from "The Christmas Journey." In it, tour guides take visitors on a woodsy walk past biblical scenes acted out by Trinity members. "It's a good way to share with people who wouldn't normally go and sit in church and listen to the Christmas message," said Spangler, 27, who lives in Laingsburg. .

I think we've all had people who we've hired who in retrospect was a bad decision," he said, alluding to Bernard Kerik, Giuliani's disgraced former police commissioner who is under federal indictment on multiple charges. Sen. John McCain, for whom the immigration issue has proved particularly vexing, defended his support for an unsuccessful overhaul of immigration laws that included a temporary worker program and a path to citizenship. "We must recognize these are God's children as well," McCain said. "They need our love and compassion, and I want to ensure that I will enforce the borders first. But we won't demagogue it." Mike Huckabee, who has also come under GOP criticism for some of his immigration policies while governor of Arkansas, defended benefits he supported for children of illegal immigrants, including allowing children to be eligible to apply for college scholarships.

You have serious problems in Corpus Christi. The town needs to promote N.Padre Island, waiting for the few developements in the city limits to do it, is nuts. The fact that the Airlines turn up their nose to C.C. is one example of the demise in the business Climate in Corpus. A 30% decline in home sales on the island in 2007 shows how important that Beach Vote was to Corpus. We can't blame that decline on Foreclosure and Mortgage market. That decline came because people who wanted to invest in the ground floor opportunity on the island, backed out. Due to the Intrawest deals failure. Few in Corpus Christi value Out-of-State people and the money they transfer to the community.... I know ! Warm Regards,Former resident of 78418 (Suggest removal) .
Love requires dealing with reality vs. fantasy
This time of year, it is nearly impossible not to think about love. The symbols of love are everywhere: red roses, the sacred flower of Venus, the goddess of love; hearts, the representation of the center of emotion; Cupid, with his bow and arrow. Ah, Cupid! Now there is a story of love. He was the son of Venus and possessed the ability to cause people to fall in love by shooting them with his magical arrows. According to Roman mythology, Cupid fell in love with a mortal maiden named Psyche. Cupid's mother, who was jealous of Psyche's beauty, forbade her daughter-in-law to look upon her husband. Of course, Psyche couldn't resist and finally took a peek at her handsome husband. For punishment she was given some difficult challenges to perform. The last one piqued her curiosity so much that she opened the box she was carrying.
