A man needs only peruse the headlines of his local newspaper or online news site to encounter a seemingly-endless list of threats to his very existence. That in mind, I decided to provide a one-day snapshot of the current threats, all taken from today’s headlines, in A-to-Z* order:

A = Al-Qaeda (See Padilla sentenced to 17 years in terror case and Britain warns over radicalisation of Muslim students)

B = Bees (See 80 to 90 percent of honey bees were lost last year, Richland commissioners told)

C = Cloning (See Animals suffer from cloning warns EU)

D = Dirt (See Disappearing dirt rivals global warming as an environmental threat)

E = Earmarks (See Bush doesn’t plan to block Pet projects)

F = Flu (See India risks bird flu ‘disaster’, human cases feared)

G = Google (See Google-funded firm launches DNA test in Europe)

H = Health care costs (See Rising health care costs put focus on illegal immigrants)

I = Iran (See Iran hails new delivery of nuclear fuel from Russia)

J = Jury Awards (See Jury Awards $22 Million to Family)

K = Kids Who Play Video Games (See Hey Kids, Shoot Your Favorite Candidate)

L = Lawyers (See Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Rudy Giuliani or Barack Obama)

M = Mainstream News Media (See ABC Reporters Fawn Over Bin Laden Son and His ‘Curious Proposal’)

N = Nuclear War (See Pre-emptive nuclear strike a key option, NATO told)

O = Over-the-Counter Cold Medicines (See Child cold medicines questioned)

P = Putin, Vladimir (See Russian bombers to test-fire missiles in Bay of Biscay)

R = Rudy Giuliani (See In Matters Big and Small, Crossing Giuliani Had Price)

S = Sharia Law (See Malaysia seizes Christian books)

T = Terrorism (See entries for A, I, L, M, N, P and S for details)

U = UFOs (See Stephenville and the end of it all)

W = Wall Street (See Stocks dive on worries of recession)

Please note that this is not a complete list in that I did not include Bible prophecy entries in this list. To see what lies ahead for all of humankind, I strongly suggest you click on and read the following entries: Armageddon and the Book of Revelation.

*Regarding Q, U, V, X, Y and Z: Please forward me any suggestions you might have to complete my A-to-Z list. Thanks in advance!
