We believe that the West can awaken from its long slumber – and rekindle the fire that was first lit in ancient Greece millennia ago.

1977 World Series Game 6: DiMaggio throws out the first pitch to Munson. What a memory
I love how Howard Cosell had to point out where Joe DiMaggio was at the pitcher's mound. He was 62 (almost 63) years old there. You could feel the presence of "The Yankee Clipper" right through the TV.

Annual reminder that Home Alone is a Christian movie.
Watch this scene very carefully, where Kevin is drawn to the beauty and warmth of the church.
As he walks inside to "O Holy Night", he hears the words "Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!"
A sanctuary candle passes across the foreground, indicating that Christ is present inside the church.
Kevin then has an encounter with a Christ figure: Old Man Marley. Kevin makes a confession to him, then shakes his hand and we see a bandage on Marley's hand.
It's never explained why his hand is wounded, but earlier in the movie we saw that his hand was actually pierced ALL THE WAY THROUGH — like the nails driven through Christ's hands on the cross.
At the end of the movie, Kevin cannot save himself from the burglars, and so Marley appears again to rescue him.
Home Alone is a Christian movie.
