Screw ups who changed the world
The list of screw ups who did amazing things for the sake of God’s Kingdom is staggering. A modern example has got to be…
Catholic high school in Des Moines chooses to honor its faith
“A Des Moines Catholic high school was within its rights when it decided not to hire a substitute teacher full time once it found out he was gay — because Iowa’s civil rights law allows religious institutions to discriminate based on sexual orientation.”
