  1. Native plants: White and blue vervain grow in many areas of Virginia

    Blue Vervain, <em>Verbena hastata,</em>&nbsp;occurs broadly&nbsp;in piedmont and mountain areas of Virginia and&nbsp;in a few&nbsp;counties in the coastal plain. Growing 2-6 feet tall, clusters of&nbsp;many&nbsp;pencil-like spikes of small 5-petaled flowers grow at the ends of the&nbsp;branches.&nbsp; The&nbsp;flowers bloom a few at a time, advancing toward the pointed tip. The stem is grooved and 4-sided. This species can be found in moist thickets, meadows and roadsides, growing best in well-drained soil. The Narrow-leaved Vervain, <em>Verbena simplex</em>, is not as showy as&nbsp;Blue Vervain because it grows only about half as tall and its spikes of flowers&nbsp;occur singly (or in 3s) at the tip of the stem or branches.&nbsp;&nbsp;As its name implies,&nbsp;this species&nbsp;also has narrower leaves.&nbsp;It occurs more commonly in the coastal plain than&nbsp;does the&nbsp;Blue Vervain.&nbsp;

  3. Peter J. Gomes dies at 68; Harvard's longtime spiritual leader

    In a sermon some years ago, the Rev. Peter J. Gomes, Harvard University's longtime spiritual leader, offered a precise, if unconventional, definition of hell. He said hell is "being defined by your circumstances, and believing that definition."

  4. Apocalypse, not now

    <strong> Editor's note: My last blog post cited one reason -- guarding a brand -- that many Christians have objected to Harold Camping's prediction that the world will end on May 21. Jerry Newcombe offers several others in this essay. Newcombe is the host and senior producer of "The Coral Ridge Hour," based in Fort Lauderdale. -- Jim Davis</strong>

  6. Puritans Viewed Christmas As Corrupt Religious Ritual

    The Hartford Courant
    The Grinch would have come up empty- handed in Colonial Connecticut. There would have been no presents under the tree, let alone a tree to steal. Christmas was viewed by the Puritans of New England as a corrupt religious, if not a pagan, ritual and was...
