I Hope God Was As Amused As We Were.

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Our oldest daughter’s recent baptism went well! We’re certainly praising God that she’s accepted Jesus as her Savior.
Of course, she added a flair that only Madeline could. First she “crossed” herself when the pastor mentioned the “Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.” “Crossed” as in the sign of the cross like Catholics […]

The Logic Of A 4 Year Old…

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Recently our youngest daughter was struggling with allergies that were possibly morphing into a cold. Our concern was that her asthma would kick up again. So, we took her for another of her multiple Dr visits that week.
This time she was prescribed a steroid to aid her breathing. Home from […]

Right To Life

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I recently overheard a debate featuring former Saturday Night Live writer, Al Franken waxing smuggly about how the US Constitution says nothing about abortion. Al seemed to indicate since the word “Abortion” is NOT mentioned in the Constitution all abortion should be legal.
I’m thinking since the unalienable “right to LIFE” is already mentioned in […]

Money must grow on trees in lovely Washington

Hmmmm…. Thanks for the Bailout… NOT!
I have not been this disappointed in our elected officials… well, EVER. But, I shouldn’t be surprised… they want everyone to think that they can fix anything.
A rush through of this now $800 Billion bail out has made Paulson the most powerful man on earth. Which banks and […]

Racial Respect… for all.

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Let’s stop racism in it’s tracks once and all… for the whole planet… shall we?
Here’s the situation as I see it: One God, one Adam, one Eve… we’re all brothers and sisters. ‘Nuff said?
Not sure? OK… scripture says that “God formed Man out of dirt from the ground…” There are many […]

Do you value life?

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Do you value all life? Somebody sent me an e-mail with this film clip. The note stated that this father’s love is like God’s love for us. I like that thought. Take 4.5 minutes and watch this (keep your tissues handy):

Fun With Guns, or Gun-play, or Serious Firepower? Wasn’t sure which title was best… Your suggestions are welcome. And, yes… I know GUNS are a serious subject… But, they’re necessary, and can be fun too (hunting, target practice… pest control…).
(Assume a backwoods, country accent when reading): Even win Ize a yung boy, Ize […]

Saw part of Bruce Springsteen’s 60 minutes interview today. Never been a big fan of his music - not enough crunchy guitar. I’m sure he couldn’t care less. Apparently he and I are fairly divided regarding our political views, too. He views singers as “canaries in the coal mines” singing about injustices… […]

“Unfiltered thoughts”… a good thing?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I see where pop culture now considers it a desired virtue to speak your mind in an “unfiltered” manner. I flipped by the TV Channel today and heard people hailing a character from “Lost”, and the lead character on “House” (which I enjoy) because they voice their thoughts - unfiltered.
Not that this is all […]

Atheism and Child Murder
By Dinesh D’Souza 5/12/08
Peter Singer is a calm, lucid and able debater, and our debate at Biola University in Los Angeles on April 25 was lively and hard-fought. Not for nothing […]
