More so than Christ's divinity or Resurrection, he says, "the exclusivity of the Gospel is the most vulnerable doctrine in the face of the modern world...
...practice has very real effects. Despite the fact that the Colorado forecasts have been unreliable of late, the insurance industry still uses them as gospel to make their own calculations.

She performed her songs across the country, but much of what she wrote was recorded by other musicians--among them, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Whitney Houston. One of her best-loved recent songs, Stand by the River, was recorded as a duet with Dolly Parton on Rambo's 71st album. She was killed in a tour-bus accident while traveling to perform in Texas...
