What If Jesus Had Not Come? – Part I

One of the most favorite and beloved Christmas season shows is Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

It is the post-war tale of a savings-and-loan manager who struggles against a greedy banker in a small town.  Through the help of an angel named Clarence, who is trying to win his wings, do-gooder George Bailey (James Stewart) recognizes his life as wonderful and truly rich, only after being shown what his small town would be like if he was never born.

Developing and Maintaining Spiritual Disciplines

A bee that flew up a motorist's trouser leg is being blamed for a car crash that caused more than £7,000 of damage.  The driver, from Mockmuhl in Germany, told police he lost control of the car and swerved into oncoming traffic when he tried to free the bumble bee from his trousers.

No one was injured in the crash, but two cars were badly damaged.

A police spokesman said, however, that they were still investigating the crash as the bee had "mysteriously disappeared" after the accident.
