Well, actually I guess that’s only partly true. Warped Tour is not over until 9 pm and I DID leave at 4. Too tired, too hot and too much activity for one day! The sunburn, however is full blown! No partial to that.
Warped Tour, for those who don’t know, is a tour of 50 or [...]
Happy July Fool’s Day to you! Now for those who don’t normally read this blog, I have long felt the other eleven months’ fools were cheated because of April and his month! So, I say to you - go out and do something that may make you feel a bit foolish, but will [...]
Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!!
My title is a bit misleading. Let me explain.
I have allowed myself to be burdened over something since last October. And I mean allowed myself! Because God Almighty freed me from it the moment I asked His help. He unlocked the chains I had been entangled in and freed [...]
Chapter 4 reminds us of the importance of wisdom. It is important that we listen to our father’s instruction in ways of wisdom. it is important that we allow wisdom to help us stay on our path, looking neither right or left to lose our focus.
We are to be intent on our learning. We are [...]
When the success of any given thing depends on the cooperation of others, the biggest success comes in the trying itself.
On the other hand, a case of the “I Desires” will bring an attitude that is willing to work toward a goal.
Over the past month or so, the Christian blogosphere has been dealing back and forth with contextualization. Many of the “emergent” churches hold Acts 17 as their reason for changing their [presentation of the] gospel to fit the audience. The contention is that Paul, in Athens, did the same thing - changed what he preached [...]
Barry and I love 60’s sitcom television. One of our favorites is The Dick Van Dyke Show. We watch at least one episode almost every evening before bed. Last night we saw Henry Gibson recite part of the poem “Keep A-Goin’ ” in the episode ‘Talk to the Snail’ [Season Five]. I remember Gibson reciting [...]
My husband and I have six children. A girl on each end, and four boys in the middle. There were many times my kids had the above conversation with their friends…. and you can change the event, but the end complaint was sure to always be the same. My children were really annoyed [...]
I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they did not wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal [...]
Brian Anstey, 31, and Elka Shapiro, 29, were married recently in New York State. The couple, who say they have no religious affiliation, decided to play up the major factor of their relationship - laughter!
With laughter as your wedding theme, what else could you possibly do but ask Kathy Griffin to officiate your wedding? Because Kathy [...]
Greetings to you on this lovely March 1, 2008. As is my tradition, I celebrate yet another Fool’s Day…. why should April have all the fun?
Notice that today’s jester has lost his head. Now, while I do not suggest you do that literally, you can symbolically do so. Today, here in Nebraska, we are [...]
I truly dislike the word FAKE- especially when it is used as an adjective. Even more so when it is an adjective applied to me!
I am an extremely transparent person. I am not one to lie, as a matter of fact, I’m not very good at it! If anything, one of my biggest flaws in [...]
February Fools Day!!
As is my tradition, I celebrate the first day of each of twelve months as a fool’s day. I mean, really, is it fair for only April to have this custom? Doesn’t it already have the April Showers? So, in an outreach of fairness, witness Fool’s Day!! Not a Hallmark occasion, but that’s [...]
