Church Talk: A proper focus in time of trouble

In times of stress and trouble, as we're seeing now in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, but also in any other disaster or tragedy, it is too easy for those of us whose homes are "high and dry" and who "lost" little or nothing, to offer empty platitudes and often well-meaning but useless advice to those who have lost so much.

Thank goodness for March Madness — and Sister Jean

Keep this quiet, because I don't want to jinx a miracle: A bunch of young men have been dribbling this month during the college basketball tournament called March Madness, and guess what? Neither they nor those in their world have inspired a tweet from the White House.

US Olympic Committee CEO resigns

Scott Blackmun resigned as chief executive of the U.S. Olympic Committee on Wednesday, stepping aside so he can tackle his worsening bout with prostate cancer and to allow the federation to move forward under new leadership to address the sex-abuse scandal that has rocked gymnastics and other sports.
