You Call This A Dynasty?

Duck DynastyI finally did it.  I sat down at my computer and watched an episode of Duck Dynasty.  I couldn’t take it anymore.  I gave in to my curiosity.  For the past year there have been several occasions when I’ve read or heard about the show.  I knew I was going to eventually see what it was all about, but when I saw two recent headlines, I couldn’t put it off any longer.

God’s Use of Special Agents

Last week after Georgette finished talking to a friend on the telephone, she said to me, “When I was talking about the benefits of praying the rosary, my friend (a former Catholic) asked, ‘If God is omnipresent, why would He approve of you praying to someone else, instead of directly to Him – and how do we know the saints can hear our prayers?’” Georgette then asked me, “How would you respond if someone asked you that question?”
