Heavy rain, high tides will make for a wet South Florida weekend
The high-tide flooding will be minimal, and at any other time might have barely been noticed. They will not be high enough to cause “sunny day flooding” that brings water into the streets of Miami Beach, parts of Fort Lauderdale and other coastal areas (not that anyone’s expecting sunny days any time soon). ...

Americans Now Have Less Faith in Tech Than Church
Christians hope to address the ethical concerns raised as the country grows more skeptical of Big Tech. For the first time in at least a decade, Americans now view churches and other religious organizations more favorably than the technology companies whose services and devices denominate daily life. Since 2010, most US adults have appreciated the contributions of tech firms, believing they had a positive effect on “the way things are going in the country,” according to a new... Read More
DeSantis is getting a new state plane as watchdog worries about rerun of past abuse of old fleet
When DeSantis took over in January, the only state plane available was a $10,000 aircraft the Florida Department of Law Enforcement received from the federal government, and it experienced mechanical trouble in one of his first flights. That led lawmakers to put $3.83 million in this year’s budget for a new plane, including $1.29 million for initial loan payments. ... Read More
South Carolina Foster Ministry Opens to Catholics for the First Time
Despite a federal waiver backing its Protestants-only policy, Miracle Hill continued to face legal challenges. In late May, the Jay Scott Newman received a visitor in his study at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenville, South Carolina. Reid Lehman, the CEO of Miracle Hill Ministries, sat down to tell the priest that Lehman’s evangelical agency, the largest provider of care to the needy in the Upstate— the 10-county westernmost region of South Carolina— was changing...

For Jesus Army, Must the Wages of Abuse Be Death?
Closure of UK-based charismatic church network raises question of whether ministries can recover after abuse is uncovered. Rainbow-colored vans and buses were a regular sight in my hometown during my childhood in southern England. Emblazoned with a large red cross on the window and the words Jesus People Loving People on the side, wherever the vehicles stopped a team of people would jump out dressed in brightly colored camouflage gear and start an open-air evangelistic meeting. This was how... Read More
The Book of Ruth Can Transform the Way We Do Business Today
What companies might learn from the Old Testament practice of gleaning. Gleaning, the Old Testament practice whereby farmers left an unharvested margin around their fields and the poor came and picked from it, was at the heart of the Book of Ruth. Was gleaning only an ancient agricultural regulation, Stumberg wondered, or did it also apply to how he should steward a modern-day tech business? “I was contextualizing what Boaz did,” said Stumberg, who sees God as the ultimate owner...

Ask a real estate pro: You need a will to make sure your cousin gets your villa
In my experience, most lenders will not force this as long as the payments are made on time, along with all of the other requirements, such as insurance and tax payments being handled. However, your lender could “call” the loan at any time, so your cousin should look to refinance the property in a loan in his name, especially while interest rates are still favorable. ... Read More
