What happens when you take a world renowned classical musician and have him play for nickels and dimes in a D.C. Metro station during rush hour?

Sadly, not much. There's video.

This is a wrenching glimpse into our culture's tragic betrayal of beauty. Read with a heavy heart, and mutter a prayer for this brave, brave world.

Ron is backing away from Theocracy:

The more that I think about it, the clearer it becomes that theocracy is not a good word for describing the Kingdom of God...

Just as there is no fear or force in heaven, there is no room for fear or force in his Kingdom. This means that any word that ends with “ocracy” does not fit with the kingdom of God.

I only question the reference to capital punishment.
