What do you think?

Here's a good one from my pastor. Concerning the church in America today, so how come we're open on Easter and closed on Christmas?

Good question huh? Kind of makes you wonder what we're really all about.

Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

If you have any interest in the ongoing battle to credit Intelligent Design as a valid part of scientific inquiry and/or to demonstrate the flaws of Darwinian evolution, then please read Win Corduan's latest blog entry.

Pondering Poultry Preferences

I hope you had a great holiday season and enjoyed all your holiday meals!


Now, if you only eat white meat turkey and chicken stop reading here.


I've heard that Christians shouldn't have pet peeves, but I'm afraid I have some. One of them is listening to people whine about dark meat. Seriously, did you have a holiday meal where someone refused to eat any of the dark meat from the turkey? Seems like there is always at least one poultry snob at a traditional turkey and dressing meal.

Seems to me that the white meat snobs need to grow up and get over it. Like its going to hurt you to eat a different part of the bird. Seriously people, get a grip. The dark meat does taste a little different than the white, but not that much. If anything it is better because of the moisture content.


For crying out loud, how spoiled are we? There are millions of people around the world that would be so incredibly thankful and gracious to get one of our American holiday meals in a lifetime and we're going to act like eating a chicken leg or turkey thigh might ruin the whole month of November. Jeepers.


Okay, well I'm all better now. It's nice to have the internet where I can express my feelings without fear of prosecution knowing that nobody reads this anyway... he, he, he... Along those lines check out my first blog, http://slothsrcool.blogspot.com/2007/10/to-blog-or-not-to-blog.html .

Have a great evening and thank God for turkey legs. And don't get mad or be offended, I know everone has the right to their own personal poultry preferences. I'm just having a little fun.

The consistent incosistency of liberals

Is a pretty frustrating, albeit entertaining thing. Last week I saw a car in Taos, New Mexico with several bumper stickers. On one side was a sticker which read something like, "The last time we mixed religion and government [or politics], people got burned at the stake." The other side of the car had a sticker that said something about how wonderful the first amendment is (sorry but I have already forgotten the exact phrase).

Isn't that a great illustration of the duplicitous nature of the typical liberal in the US today? They love their freedoms and rights. They love to express them. They just can't stand it for anyone who disagrees with them to express themselves. Free speech is great until a Christian speaks up. Tolerance is the highly cherished virtue, but there is no tolerance for Christianity.

This all becomes so incredibly ironic when we consider the flaw of the first bumper sticker. The last time we mixed religion and government was not the Salem witch trials. Probably the most important time we mixed religion and government we got one of the greatest documents in the history of civilization, i.e., the United States constitution. Our founders took many biblical principles, applied them to government, and codified them in the constitution.

So, yes, the rights, like freedom of speech, freedom to not worship, etc. that liberals cherish so much are a result of government being informed by religion--or actually by the Bible. Don't you love it?

James 4:8 says, "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
