Marking of Exhibits
I was in court this morning and I learned from the judge that you have to mark all the exhibits you want to present in the case during the pre-trial, otherwise the court won’t allow them to be marked anymore. I understand that to mean that you can’t present any exhibits during the trial proper […]

Proclamation No. 1017
I appeared on local TV and drew some flak via text phone from a lawyer friend regarding my take on Proclamation No. 1017. Basically my position (i.e., IMHO) is that there is no substantial difference between the words of Proclamation 1017 (including General Order No. 5) (BTW – thanks to PCIJ for the link) and […]

Compulsory Overtime
Can a school require the personnel of its school clinic to work overtime in view of circumstances which the school thinks necessitate the presence of these personnel?

Hymns CD
I recently bought Amy Grant’s Legacy, a collection of hymns set to modern arrangement. I have always loved the old hymns and I think the arrangements on this CD are a pleasing treat.

Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” (Isaiah 50:10) INTRODUCTION This message is meant to encourage Christians who are discouraged by their sins and their consequences – […]

Bible Translations
I read somewhere (on another blog) that when Billy Graham was asked, “What is the best Bible translation?” he answered, “The one you read.” Good answer! I’m presently using the English Standard Version. I grew up reading the KJV; later on I used the NKJV; then the NIV. Many of the verses I memorized, however, […]
