Bread and Milk

Posted on April 30, 2007. Filed under: Family | Tags: , , , , , , |

I found some memories today, tucked back in a corner somewhere. I’ve been trying to lose weight, and working on portion control. It’s the Nutrisystem, and it’s been good so far. Not dramatic results, but a pound lost each week is healthy. This morning for my carbohydrate, I had a slice of wheat bread, and [...]

Posted on April 28, 2007. Filed under: Faith, News | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

I don’t see how this passes for news. A Houston Chronicle reporter doesn’t like bible studies going on in the courthouse. Just before 12:30 p.m. almost every Tuesday, Judge James Squier leaves his 312th Court and heads upstairs to the seventh floor of the Harris County Family Law Center. There, in an associate judge’s chamber, [...]

Today, the Democratic Senate will attempt to surrender to the terrorists again. This is the second attempt to surrender. Bush vetoed the first attempt, and he promises to veto the second attempt. In the meantime, funding for the troops is being held hostage by defeatists that claim to “support the troops.” How they claim to [...]

What exactly is morality? And who gets to define it? For me, I know the answer; morals come from the Most High God and are written in the Good Book.
