Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Employees who insist on wearing Nehru suits to the office will be forced to perform their duties in “the nest”.
Are you kidding? It’s a GREAT window washer!
1) Add in NY Times: “Manhattan studio to let. No conveniences. Close to financial district. Cozy, great view. Must like wind. $4,000/month. References required.”
2) A scene from the little-know “horror ending” to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings adaption in which the Eagles save Frodo & Sam from Mount Doom only to eat them. Rumored to appear in the 39.5 hour maxi-extendo-special edition – coming this Christmas!
3) “OK . . . just ‘cos I’m all in gray doesn’t make me a worm you stupid birds! Sheesh!”
4) Last photo of renown Belgian ornithologist Dr Maxwell Curlihew as he attemped to study a nest, thought to be abandoned, of the elusive Great European City Raptors moments before he was carried away by one of the giant birds. He has not been seen since. His last reported words were, “It all looked so much smaller from street level! It’s really quite spacious. You should see their use of wood in the nest’s construction, it’s brilliant. Pictures simply wouldn’t do it justice. And the eggs . . . my stars! The eggs are this big! ULP!”

Crucifix, Scott? I think it also looks like the planned Christmas Crib.
By the way did you notice the cuffs of the black leotards sticking out beneath his Nehru jacket? Whatever it ends up being, I bet it’s going to involve dancing intraliturgically.
