History Abounds!

The British intelligence agency MI5 has released a detailed account of a Nazi mission to sabotage America's war efforts during World War II. This is the first time that the information on plan "Pastorius" has been declassified by the government. Eight German soldiers were picked to enter the United States and to commit small acts of terrorism on American industries. In what can be called a wild and even comical series of setbacks, the Germans failed to accomplish any of their dastardly plans.

In Jordan, a group of 70 booklets have been discovered that appear to contain some of the first Christian writings. They also contain what appears to be the first or oldest known picture of Jesus. Many of the tiny lead booklets are the size of a credit cart and are sealed shut. Interpreting the booklets may take some time as they are written in multiple languages. It will be very interesting to discover what these early Christian writings have to say.
