Some Bloggers MAY Recognize These Lyrics . . . .

I was very nearly moved to tears this morning in church, as I listened to one of my favorite songs, and watched a woman dance in worship to the melody. I cannot play the song for you, but hope you'll enjoy these words. This song is for those of you who have come to realize that life is incomplete... Sign in to see full entry.

What IS IT With Bloggers' Opinions and Homosexuality???

I certainly do have the zany ability at getting people's panties in a wad. It's somewhat amusing, really; however this is a serious topic, and not something to be lightly discarded. In my recent post on homosexuality (in News and Politics, HERE ), I discussed some of the latest legislation occuring... Sign in to see full entry.

"I Dared to Call Him Father"

They should outlaw vacations, especially those that give people time to catch up on reading. This was a fantastic book (see above title), written by a wealthy Pakistani woman, Bilquis Sheikh who, many years ago, began having visions and dreams that seemed to come from nowhere. She had been raised a... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Leaving . . . So Let There Be Peace On Blogit Pond . . . .

OK, sorry, I know you had your hopes up for a second, but I'm only leaving for a few days. I'll give you more advanced warning when I really bid farewell, so you can throw a party and pretend you're sorry to see me go. I'm off to Chicago to get some smarts. Yeah, and no snide remarks from the peanut... Sign in to see full entry.

An Oxymoron: Was it Evolution? Or Creative Design?

Taken from http://adventures.yahoo.com/b/adventures/20060607/rba_australia_0606/adventures4743, an article about the crocodiles of Cairns, Australia. I happened upon it while surfing the net after mowing the lawn (and sitting for awhile to cool off). Here's the quote, speaking about the fearsome... Sign in to see full entry.

I Was Vegging On the Sofa Last Evening, Pondering and . . .

... watching the Discovery Channel, listening in a distracted fashion to a program on deadly jellyfish. I was amazed to learn that the venom from this tiny jellyfish, found in tropical waters, is over 100 times (although I think they said over 500 times but heaven forbid that I exaggerate) than a...

You're Sadly Right. We Christians Don't Love As We Should.

There have been some posts in the religion section recently which, summed up in a nutshell, cast aspersions on not only the whole concept of Christianity (i.e. it’s simply a myth), but such characteristics (or lack thereof) of love and tolerance evidenced by those who confess the name of Christ....

True Confessions of an "Idiot"

I am the last person I would consider appropriate to argue semantics and religion. I've grown up in "the faith," studied other religions to some degree, have at times in my life even been VERY open to different religions, but certainly do not consider myself to be adequately schooled in apologetics...
