Words are interesting creatures. They can send a person soaring to the most wonderful heights, or bring them crashing to the lowest depths. The Book of James holds a discussion about our tongues and the need to be careful with them, but it’s actually talking about words, and the way we use them to either harm or heal. Words are interesting for othe…

There was a film released in 2013 about a group of terrorists who, motivated by resentment and a sense of being devalued, execute a successful incursion of the White House, sending the President into hiding and doing serious damage along the way.
