Finally, A Cure for Financial Woes

Posted on October 27, 2008. Filed under: Finances, Fun Stuff | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

Finally, a financial strategy that makes sense. FOUR extra ravens are being drafted into the Tower of London because of the financial crisis — to prevent a 350-year-old curse coming true. My suspicion, though I’m unable to confirm it, is that in order to reduce labor costs, either fewer ravens were used or an inferior [...]

Sign of the Cross

Posted on May 15, 2007. Filed under: Faith, News | Tags: , , , , , , , |

Disclaimer: I am not God. Any judgemental statements are purely a result of my own hypocritical sinful nature. I know not who goes to heaven save me for the grace of God. That said, I’m looking for some sort of explanation. Why do… um… (heathens? Lite-Christians? Words fail.) wear a cross around their neck? Is [...]

Once Saved, Always Saved

We’re going return to the New Testament for the next 3 months and work through 1st and 2nd Peter, written by the apostle Peter approximately 30 years after the crucifixion of Jesus. In the 30 years since Peter denied Jesus three times, Peter has grown a lot. Within two years of writing 1st and 2nd [...]

Kenya Mission, Day 7

Posted on June 16, 2006. Filed under: Faith, Stories | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

January 2, 2006 Today’s Swahili phrase: hakuna matada, which means “Disney marketing phrase.” No wait, it means “no worries.” I’ve received a lot of encouragement to continue this series – we’re about halfway through – but this next day was a very important day, full of eye-opening experiences, and frankly, just hard to get a [...]

Kenya Mission, Day 2 & 3

Posted on February 17, 2006. Filed under: Faith, Stories | Tags: , , , , , , |

December 28, 2005 We arrived in London at Heathrow Airport after the overnight, overseas flight, about as refreshed as, well, people that had been on an overnight, overseas flight. Simple little trip over to Gatwick; our flight to Nairobi doesn’t leave until tomorrow so we have an afternoon here. I learned something about London. It [...]

A Non-Christian Narna

Posted on December 13, 2005. Filed under: Faith, Movies and TV | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

People that hate Christians should not go see “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” The Guardian Unlimited, England’s ultra liberal rag, says “Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion.” Exceprts: The Christian radio station Premier is urging churches to hold services on the theme of The Gospel According to Narnia. Even the [...]

Far Left, Far Right

Posted on October 25, 2005. Filed under: News | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

Far Left: Al Franken is laughing it up, I suppose. Nobody else is, because he’s not funny. He’s promoting his new book on Amazon with a video clip showing how good it feels to kick a conservative between the legs. Michelle Malkin has video stills and here is the video clip. Basically, he questions a [...]

Secular Bigotry

Posted on September 15, 2005. Filed under: Faith, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , |

Manual Miranda in OpinionJournal has a strong criticism of the questioning of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. While we all expected chest-puffing and posturing from the Senators, we didn’t expect illegal religious bigotry to be so acceptable. Excerpts: Article VI of the Constitution prohibits a religious test from being imposed on nominees to public office. [...]

A Faith Vacuum

Posted on August 2, 2005. Filed under: Faith | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

A faith vacuum haunts Europe There was a time when Europe would justly refer to itself as “Christendom.” Europeans built the Continent’s loveliest edifices to accommodate their acts of worship. They quarreled bitterly over the distinction between transubstantiation and consubstantiation. As pilgrims, missionaries and conquistadors, they sailed to the four corners of the Earth, intent [...]

Death Row Syndrome

Posted on February 1, 2005. Filed under: Serious Stuff | Tags: , , , , , |

I don’t get it. A man on death row wants to die… and “experts” consider that to be a reason to overturn his death penalty? Because he wants to die? It would only be ok to execute him if he wants to live? Or do you have to prescribe a treatment to make him mentally [...]
