FROM THE EDITORS April 5, 2010 Issue

WHEN INDIVIDUALS BUY INTO WORLDLY THINKING, THEY ARE ACCEPTING THE VERY "DUST THAT DIMS" THE BURNING LIGHT OF SPIRITUAL GOOD WITHIN EACH ONE'S BEING.

A STEPPINGSTONE TO GOD

"I'M SUPERIOR, you're inferior.
I'm the big attraction, you're the small.
I'm the major one, you're the minor one,...
Anything you can do, I can do better.
I can do anything better than you."

So goes the popular show tune from Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun. Of course, it's sung tongue in cheek and is a humorous exchange between the musical's male and female leads. But the underlying message moves right to life's stage and is often played out to the dismay of many.
