Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?” He did not wait for an answer. On many occasions I have heard it said that young people of today no longer believe in absolute truth. Truth, they say, is relative. It also follows that, without absolute truth, there can be no absolute right or absolute wrong, During […]
I like to believe the best about people. When I see some winsome character on television telling me that this or that is true, I want to believe them.

I listened carefully to the testimonies of Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Cavanaugh before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both of them were powerful witnesses.
