« Previous EntriesHow to Read the Bible Every Day
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008For a lot of my life, I told myself I didn’t have time to read the Bible. I occasionally cracked it open. But then a week, or month would go by until I touched it again. I did pray, though not as much as now. My prayers were shallow. I didn’t understand Who I was [...]
Was Job’s Wife Just Another Shrieking Harpy or Something More?
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Last night at my men’s Bible study, we studied the book of Job, talked about our observations, and asked questions.
Job’s unnamed wife, who only appears briefly, comes across as just another bane to her husband.
His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
He replied, “You are talking [...]
Why Do You Want Me to Sign Up on Classmates.com and Reunion.com?
Friday, October 3rd, 2008This post may or may not have any real deep information, but I just want to rant.
A month or so ago, I got two different emails saying that two different people wanted to get a hold of me on Reunion.com. Many people would probably jump at the chance to reunite with someone and thus create [...]
Let’s Get the Kids Hep to Christ!
Monday, September 15th, 2008Alright. Yeah.
Web Links - Another Cop-out Post for Monday
Monday, August 25th, 2008Today, I really can’t think of anything to write about. I’ve got a few small ideas, but nothing more than a few sentences in each. So, I’m just going to give you some of the web places I go to often and sites of interest, not counting the free games sites I already did a [...]
Give it a Rest, O’Brien
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008I just read this morning that Richard O’Brien is dragging out the tired, abused carcass of Rocky Horror yet again.
I don’t mean the same way he’s always done it: by having another anniversary or convention or party or some such in which he dons the makeup and yellowed, battered prosthetic back-hump.
No, this time he’s planning [...]
Christian Music: Where Can I Find a Place to Rock?
Friday, August 1st, 2008When you think of Christian music, what do you think of?
Do you imagine some guy with glazed-over eyes playing an acoustic guitar while his equally glazed-over wife stands nearby with a tambourine? Are they both smiling with perfect white teeth? Are they singing something along the lines of Kumbaya?
Or do you think of the songs [...]
Ted.com: David Gallo Shows Footage of Amazing Sea Creatures
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Yesterday a friend of mine sent me one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen. It was on a site called Ted.com. I’d never heard of the site, or organization before. So I headed to their About TED page to see what they are all about. Here’s a little info from there:
TED stands [...]
That Looks Nothing Like Jesus!
Monday, June 23rd, 2008For most of us, because of what we are bombarded with, have a permanent belief that Jesus was a blue-eyed Caucasian Adonis with shoulder-length brown hair and a short, well-trimmed beard. He was a pretty boy.
My brother-in-law is correct, however; we don’t know about his appearance. What we do know is that he had nothing in his looks to distinguish himself from anyone else. He was common-looking, plain.
Happy 6th of June
Friday, June 6th, 2008Come with me back in time, to the 70’s. Don’t worry, we won’t stay long. When I was a little girl in the 70’s my parents had an 8-track (yeah, remember those?) for CW McCall.
For years my brothers, sisters, and I played it over and over. Because of those years the song “Convoy” is permanently [...]
