Two prominent Christian leaders—Juanita Bynum and Ted Haggard—appeared on the reality show DIVORCE COURT.
Bynum—a televangelist, prophetess, singer and author—is best known for empowering women to pursue spiritual maturity. Known as a champion of healthy relationships, Bynum recently divorced her husband Bishop Weeks in a high-profile case that included allegations of domestic violence.
Haggard pastored New Life Church, a mega church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A successful preacher and head of the National Association of Evangelicals, Haggard revealed in 2006 that he was involved in a three-year affair with a male prostitute.
Bynum first appeared on DIVORCE COURT in April 2008; Haggard (accompanied by his wife, Gayle) turned up in April 2009. Both Bynum and Haggard spoke about their troubles and healing processes. They also counseled litigants on the show.

It’s May which means it’s time for Mother’s Day…and weddings…and college graduations.
Last weekend, I attended a local university’s graduation ceremony. The commencement speaker—a notable judge—was engaging, hilarious, and sincere. Of course, he followed commencement protocol by peppering his address with vivid anecdotes and memorable jokes. He charged the graduates to pursue excellence, grab hold of their bright futures and on and on.

Last month, I enjoyed a spur of the moment trip to Nicaragua, where my folks and I hail from. Mi familia has been through a lot since last October. Popping up lifted everyone’s spirits—especially my three younger siblings.

Circumcision was a covenant of bloodshed. It was a serious vow that God made with Abraham.
Now, three thousand years later, Jews and Christians still practice this ancient ritual.
In Jewish tradition, the operation is performed, not by an M.D., but a Mohel, an observant orthodox Jew who must have studied the religious laws and surgical skills required for the operation. A Mohel's duties demand the highest standards of ethics, religious practice and surgical skills including strict hygiene.
