Classical Physics reached its apex in Sir Isaac Newton’s day (1642–1727). The “Clockwork Universe” was so tightly linked together that the chains of cause and effect — which we called “determinism” — were obvious to everyone.

So far in our series on renewing our minds, we have learned that in order to be transformed, we must constantly "put off" all the garbage in our own thinking and "put on" the Mind of Christ.

On March 31, 1492, the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella issued a royal decree that all Jews must leave the Spanish territories within four months. If they were found in Spain after this period they were to be killed. This deadline was later postponed to August 3rd.

It has been some time since our last Russian update. Tensions have been increasing as Russia grapples with its strategic dilemmas and prepares for the presidential elections in the year 2000.

The Red Planet is in the news again. It's been 32 years since Mariner 4 was there and 21 years since the Viking Orbiter/Lander program. Happily, NASA Path-finder's bouncy landing on the 4th of July put us back in the Mars business after far too many years of no new data.

On May 13, 1917 three children saw a lady who identified herself as the Lady of the Rosary. These children claim to have had six visions of this Fatima, a vision each month for six months.
