A reader asks why a friend with cancer died despite faith. The response says healing can be spiritual and eternal, that the deceased are now free from pain, and that God may heal sometimes on earth but not promised for every disease. It cites Paul’s lack of earthly healing and cites Revelation 21 4.

Carter era signals shift in Southern politics and New Politics
The piece argues the 1978 Southern political shift, driven by a new self esteem and independent thinking, could purge old figures like Eastland Thurmond Wallace and Ravenel. It highlights Ravenel as a rising South Carolina figure challenging Thurmond and notes changes in the Southern Caucus and coalition dynamics. It also critiques Carter's diplomacy and energy proposals, and comments on unrelated national figures and events.
