Twenty Two More Reasons to Outlaw Stupid

Homeless shelter needs support
It was a risky thing, last year, to oppose the Rev. Larry Rice's bid for the old federal building to establish a very large homeless shelter in Cape Girardeau. It was risky because Cape Girardeau has had a track record of denying that there are homeless in our midst. And when the homeless keep showing up at the back doors of our churches, we have assuaged our consciences by giving them a night in a motel and inviting them to move along...
Making decisions while honoring God
When the church was young, its growth demonstrated itself to be more organic that strategic. What began with Jesus' one simple command -- to be his witnesses by telling all he was and all he did in their hometowns and beyond -- exploded into a movement...
God and suffering
Harold Kushner holds a special place in my heart even in disagreement. Kushner, perhaps the best-known rabbi in the United States, is a prolific author. One of his nonfiction books, 1986's "When All You've Wanted Isn't Enough," helped me decide to go to seminary. ...
The wily red fox is a true survivor
Here he is. The sly red fox. I photographed this one in his element on a dreary evening during a light rain. This makes for a soft-focus image true to the nature of the fox. They generally prefer being out at night and during inclement weather but will not hesitate to forage in broad daylight if they are hungry...
House music
The name Underberg House Concerts leaves nothing to the imagination. They are concerts in a house owned by Larry and Jean Underberg. I attended my first one Sunday to see the Canadafest singers -- four Canadian singer/songwriters traveling to South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. I've run stories about the house concerts in the entertainment section before, but I'd never gone to one...

Cops: Burglar logs into MySpace on store computer
KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) -- A burglar who spent about five hours on a store's computer after breaking into the business gave police all the clues they needed to track him down. Investigators said the 17-year-old logged into his MySpace account while at Bella Office Furniture and that made it easy for them to find him. He also spent time looking at pornography and trying to sell stolen items, all while using the business' computer....

BOSTON (AP) -- A man from Maine who struck a match on a U.S. Airways flight to Boston's Logan International Airport is facing some heat - but not over matches.

Police: La. man denied beer run gets very testy
THIBODAUX, La. (AP) -- A 25-year-old man did not take his inability to get more beer well. Lafourche sheriff's spokeswoman Lesley Hill Peters said the man was accused of breaking furniture and throwing a beer bottle at a woman after she refused to give him car keys so he could buy more beer on Monday night. The Courier reported Wednesday that the man admitted to deputies he'd been drinking before the argument with the alleged 29-year-old victim....
Sleeping man shocked after cold man jumps into bed
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Police said a man broke into a Pittsburgh home and climbed into bed with its owner, apparently because he was drunk and cold following a rap concert. Homeowner Frank Fontana says he was in bed when the man climbed in about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Fontana says he asked whether it was a woman who has keys to his home - and he grabbed a baseball bat when a deep male voice answered, "No, it's not."...
