  • Don’t Be Deceived, Ask Questions
    [News-and-Society:Religion] There is a popular saying; If you don’t ask, how are you going to know? You’ve probably heard it many times.

  • Is Satan All Powerful?
    [News-and-Society:Religion] Satan is not all powerful, nor able to be everywhere all at once. If he were he would be as God is and there is only ONE GOD!

  • Are You Afraid to Back Up Your Beliefs?
    [News-and-Society:Religion] It isn’t limited to the Christian world. There are many who believe various things about how we were created or came to be.

Facts are though, I have been a drafter since the 1970′s and the one thing I keep coming back to is the drafting board. You might ask me why would I return to the old hammer and chisel method of drafting with all these fine programs are available to me.
