If no one noticed before, it’s clear now that Russia has weaponized energy it its war on Ukraine. Europe has certainly taken notice; Russia cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria and Germany is now taking steps to reduce its dependence on Russian gas.

Author and speaker Randy Alcorn. Director of Eternal Perspectives Ministries, lost his wife Nanci last month after an extended illness. He writes about mourning her, but he reminds us all of what death is for the Christian: Dying is but going home.
E.C.R. Lorac (1894-1958) was a mystery novelist whose life and writing career spanned the Golden Age of Mystery.

They’re publishing one of Lorac’s unpublished novels, the manuscript for which was recently found. It’s called Two-Way Murder.
