| Going on faith
I traveled Sept. 26-Oct. 5 on Globus' most popular religious itinerary, the nine-night "Footsteps of Apostle Paul," based around the saint's activities as recorded in the Book of Acts, chapters 16-21 -- though the logistics of the trip didn't always allow us to visit places in the same order Paul did.
We went first to ancient Corinth, famed in classical times for its temple prostitutes and black-figure pottery, destroyed when Rome defeated Greece in 146 B.C. added: andand rebuilt by Julius Caesar a hundred years later as a sort of Del Webb for old soldiers. They're pretty sure that Paul arrived in 51 or 52 A.D.
One of Corinth's more intriguing attractions is the public toilets, whose line of keyhole-shaped stone "seats" were not at all private. On the contrary, they were positioned around a rectangular courtyard and, by all accounts, quite the place for socializing in Roman times.
McCain and Romney spar over Michigan economy
I think that the outcomes will be Hilary vs MCcain for the presidency of 2008. The people will decide who best fits the robes for the position. They will determine who is going to take home the prize. Mrs. Clinton definetly is more modern than any of the other candidates, but Mr. McCain recieves support from many young people. This year, I know that many young people will vote because they are tired of a stagnat gov't who does nothing for them. I would like to see more change this year in the senate. I hope that the person who takes the presidency will appeal to a younger generation by including us in the decision he/she may make. .
