The trial date has been pushed back in the multimillion-dollar lawsuit that Macpherson Oil Co. brought against the city of Hermosa Beach over an oil-drilling project.

"Due to an illness in the family of one of the attorneys, the judge has granted a continuance in the trial in the lawsuit," according to a statement from City Manager Steve Burrell's office.

The trial to begin Jan. 18.

Freedom is based on a sure identity, that I know who I am, but more importantly WHOSE I am. When…Read More the LORD sent Moses to deliver His people, that was the beginning of their liberty. They were a particular people to the LORD, whose name is better understand as "He who was, is, and always will be." Not a god made of stone or wood, but the One who made, makes, and evermore makes and gives to us: the LORD took Israel by the hand and led them from bondage to slavery. Not who you are, but whose you are, makes all the difference between bondage and liberty: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8: 15) Have you been adopted yet? "
