When most of us think about the issue of idolatry we think about an image like this.  I can almost guarantee that this drawing was taped up on the wall in one of my Sunday school classrooms growing up.  I wanted to share it here because I think it really captures much of the way [...]

It’s the account of an unlikely friendship that took place between Madigan (staff writer for Fort Worth Star newspaper) and Fred Rodgers…aka Mr. Rodgers – you know the one with the neighborhood. I [...]
