		<title>Upon Reflection&#8230;Pretending to shoot the President is not a game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve spent the past couple of days thinking about the incident in Roseto where the local church carnival made the national news for a game where people shot foam darts at a likeness of President Obama holding a “healthcare bill”. 
It’s important in these times of real problems and real dangers to not overreact to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Justice Denied for Pan Am 103 Victims &amp; Families</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world is full of injustice: Like the “Serenity Prayer”, most of us live each day trying to change what we can while not driving ourselves crazy over the things we can’t. It’s that “wisdom to know the difference” part that’s tricky. 
But some things are so outrageous, so full of avarice and evil that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pennsylvania and the Second Amendment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ My second column for the news and information site, The Daily Caller, has been posted. “Greetings from the land of guns and religion” is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at the recent SCOTUS McDonald v. City of Chicago ruling of last week. 
The court’s sweeping decision to uphold the right to keep and bear arms [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saving Sakineh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the east coast of the United States enjoyed idyllic weather (before the heat wave set in) and celebrated one of our most festive national holidays, a woman has been languishing for almost six years in an Iranian prison. Charged and convicted of “adultery” with what appears to be no proof, Sakineh received 99 lashes [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Woman Effect&#8230;from Kagan to Palin on The Daily Caller</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ For a writer it’s all about having a voice; most of us write because we want to engage in the collective dialog, especially those of us who write columns and commentary. Today, the people with whom I can have a conversation just increased exponentially: My first opinion piece has been published on The Daily [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Oil Spill: Good news for Elena Kagan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Some eastern religions believe in the yin and yang of life: Every action or event has a positive and negative energy. By not letting the negative overwhelm you, and tapping in to the positive side, you can benefit from even the worse disaster. 
Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, hasn’t needed to chant any mantras [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birthday Wanderings&#8230;with a little help from my friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was my birthday; for the past week I have been enjoying the passing of another year. Combined with a concentration of friends, family and memories, it has all made me a bit nostalgic. With my Irish ancestry this state of mind should call for a bender, but since I don’t drink, at least to [...]]]></description>

		<title>When You Wake Up In The Morning&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Even with a bad economy and a recession heading in to its second year, there’s a certain level of comfort and security most of us as Americans take for granted. But the truth is, when you wake up each morning you have no idea what fate or God or “Mother Nature” has in store [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weaving Silken Dreams&#8230;Here in Allentown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I’m in the process of writing my first column for the Morning Call in almost a year. The topic will be the stress our military is under due to so many multiple deployments and how the new Veteran’s Sanctuary, opening this fall in Allentown, is a much needed resource. The story will appear on [...]]]></description>

But I do want to take advantage of what opportunity there is to let you know about two wonderful and worthwhile events that are happening next weekend. 
First is a benefit concert by the Craig Thatcher Allstar Review at [...]]]></description>
