    This is the case of Queen vs. Dudley and Stephens. Before I begin‚ I want to remind you that this is the court of law. In this country‚ the law states that any person who deliberately takes the life of another is guilty of murder. There is no question as to who took the life of Brooks‚ a man with families and loved ones waiting for him to return from sea. The murderers sit in the seats of the defendants today.

    One of the best parts of working on exhibitions drawn from the ZMA’s extensive permanent collection is the opportunity it provides for a look at some of the hidden gems at the museum. During the preparation of Sketching American Modernism‚ I discovered a painting that captured my interest. The work was the Portrait of Mrs. Helen McCoy Storer‚ c. 1910 by Charles Alden Gray (1857-1933). While arguably not by one of the most well-known artists in our collection‚ it was‚ at that moment‚ the most intriguing

In a thoughtful desire to pursue truth there becomes a right and a wrong way of thinking about God‚ allowing us to discern heresy from sound theology. In his book God Talk‚ Randall J. VanderMey states that “close attention to Christian language— its possibilities as well as its poverties—can open the mind‚ reawaken wonder and strengthen faith” (VanderMey 16).

    In reading “Ragnarok The Day The Gods Die” by Randall Kenan it talks about God‚ marital affairs‚ jealousy‚ and resentfulness. The preacher in this story Barden is jealous of the relationship that his wife Sarah has with God. The question that is raised in my mind is it because he has fallen by the wayside of his belief in God‚ by having an affair with someone within his flock? Had the affair begun once Sarah at age thirty-three started having women problems? Sarah couldn’t no longer give Barden any
