The Colson Center is featuring the Bible Belt Blog on its Facebook page and Twitter accounts today.

That’s Colson as in Chuck Colson, the former Nixon Watergate figure who found Christ, wrote a best-selling book, and started an influential prison ministry. [Time named him one of America's 25-Most-Influential Evangelicals. See the profile here.]

I want to thank Colson Center coordinator Billy Atwell and I want to welcome Colson Center visitors. For those of us who believe in redemption and second chances, Chuck Colson is an inspiring figure…

And, yes, I do have some Nixon-era collectibles. Specifically, a complete set of church bulletins from the Sunday morning worship services that were held in the White House periodically throughout the Nixon administration.

A former White House correspondent donated the collection to the Religion Newswriters Association and I bought it at a silent auction in San Antonio in 2007.

Five of the programs are autographed by the former President. None of them, unfortunately, are autographed by the man from North Carolina who delivered the messages at least once or twice: evangelist Billy Graham.
