~ ~ ~ ~ We all have IDOLS in our lives. What’s yours? ~ ~ ~ ~

We had a great church service this morning. Visiting our predominantly Dutch and overwhelmingly white church was a black pastor from Brooklyn, along with his very black worship team. They did their best to liven up the audience, and I will say, for a huge congregation of white folk, we did pretty... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lunacy That Is The ACLU

Every year multiple sour faced minions from the ACLU fan out across the country watching for any hints of Christmas permeating into public society, whether it be a simple biblical reference to Christmas, religious ornaments, nativity displays, etc. They do this in spite of the fact that 96% of...

~ ~ ~ Benefits of Legalizing Prostitution; I CAN Think of A Few! ~ ~ ~

Somewhere in the recesses of my brain I am aware that there are people who believe prostitution should be legalized. While exploring this topic, I found a web site extolling the benefits of legalizing prostitution. They make some potentially legit claims. For example, if prostitution is legalized,...

So Did You Think By Becoming A Christian Your Life Would Be EASY??

I was just perusing the website of the Christian disability ministry "Joni and Friends" ( www.joniandfriends.org ), and was blown away with some of the prayer requests mentioned there for the month of September. Life is pretty hard for many of these folks and for those of you who wish to pray for... Sign in to see full entry.

~ ~ ~ It's All About Following the Light Within ~ ~ ~

That's the ideal, right? To be guided by our inner selves, to do what seems right to ourselves? To follow our own paths to peace? In all honesty, I've tried that method and it has never worked for me. As a Registered Nurse, I was constantly giving of myself to others. If I relied solely on myself... Sign in to see full entry.

~ ~ ~ Angels and Demons, Hosts of Heaven, Faith vs Substance ~ ~ ~

Do I believe in Satan and his demons? Yeah, yeah, I do. Old fashioned and impossible, and for some, even moronic, but still I sure do. I also believe in the antithesis of demons -- angels. I believe in this spirit realm for a variety of reasons. The most obvious is because the Bible says they exist.... Sign in to see full entry.

~ ~ ~ On Crosses and Symbols and Religious Beliefs ~ ~ ~

My friend Gomedome (here) just wrote a post about the Cross, which partially referred to the post I wrote (here) about a case where an Atheist sued a Christian because the Christian had put a cross on his private property and the Atheist did not like looking at it, so decided to take the Christian...

In Response to the Veritable Gomedome -- From JanesOpinion!

Since it would seem that Gome wrote an entire post devoted in response to my comments on his post, I thought I would respond in kind with a blog of my own. Gome first mentioned that he has respect for a number of Christians, including Ariala, sannhet and calebs_blogger, to name a few. That’s great.... Sign in to see full entry.

~ ~ ~ ~ The Best News of All -- Happy Easter!!! ~ ~ ~ ~

The air is fresh, clear, a slight breeze whispering through the graceful, billowy branches of multiple olive trees. There are few people out since it is very early in the day, on the first day of the week, at sunrise. Dew drops glisten on peach rose petals, and mixed in with a tangle of trellised...
