Week of December 5, 2005 Update

Our mission statement: Christians with a testimony devoted to the Father through the Son and in the strength of the Holy Spirit.



"Chess is not merely a game of the mind, but of the heart, the soul, and the choppers. That's right - teeth. What dental alteration did former champ and current loon Bobby Fischer make, to improve his chess game? He had his fillings removed, to prevent enemy KGB radio transmissions." - Williams Trivia Contest; The New Yorker, March 1, 2004, p. 90 -

"I don't believe in psychology," Bobby Fischer once told a reporter. "I believe in good moves."
