On this day, in 1901, a bank robbery occurred in Paris, France. As they exited the bank, the thieves didn’t run away on foot, or ride off on horses. They made their escape in a new-dangled invention called an automobile. They got away in the very first “getaway car”!

So, since a car was used in a criminal act, does that make a car evil? Of course not. A thing is just a thing. It’s all in the way one chooses to use it that makes the difference. And the same thing can be true . . . with the Bible.

I love crossword puzzles. And every day I try to complete the one from The New York Times. It’s the “gold standard” - the best of the best. I grew up in Houston and started doing the Houston Chronicle crossword when I was a kid. Good puzzle. But not the best. But the best that a South Texas boy could get his hands on.
