Horse in corner was the worst

Thanks to all who have commented on this column about the fire. I've received the most feedback ever, either online or in person, on this column. (Part of the reason was that it was the first "Faith" column to appear on the front page of the newspaper!) --Mike H.

Just wondering...

Feb. 25, 2006, column:
Anne Rice does good job depicting Jesus as a boy

The original column had the following paragraph at the end. It was cut in the newspaper:
Alluding to her vampire novels, Rice calls Jesus “the ultimate supernatural hero, the ultimate outsider, the ultimate immortal of them all.” But in this first book, he is just a puzzled little Jewish boy seeking his destiny.

Note: This headline that was in the newspaper doesn't reflect what the column is about. It should be something like "Creepy novel writer got spiritual start in Amarillo." --Mike H.

Another note: The following was cut from the column. Some of you might want this information:
Just wondering
* * *
Just wondering whether Dwight Huber, chairman of the Amarillo College English department, recalls his nickname, “Fightin’ Dwight, the White Knight of Right,” from Melanie Wells’s formative years at Amarillo High School. His department is sponsoring a free appearance by author Wells and her friend and fellow former Sandie, Austin musician Trish Murphy, at 9 a.m. Nov. 3 in the AC Concert Hall Theater. Wells also will be at Amarillo’s Barnes and Noble from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 3. Information on the two is online at www.melaniewells.com and www.trishmurphy.com.

Christ in action in Ellwood Park
(This was supposed to run in the paper Sept. 10, but the Globe-News people said it got dumped in order to include more Katrina news. A few sentences were cut from this version for space purposes. Here's what the last paragraph was supposed to be:

The look back at Elwood Park and the look forward at Hillside and Soncy are just two of the many faces of the Christian church. If you don’t like what’s going on in one congregation, I’d suggest trying another.

(Also, the headline above was in the paper, but it's not very descriptive of what the column's about.)

Articles misguided on Christian beliefs

[This column was cut to make it fit into the newspaper. Near the end, where it mentions Jesus, the following two Bible verses were in the original. The first one quotes Jesus:

“I am the way and the truth and the life,” he said. “No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6, NIV) Peter added, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12, NIV)]
