The separation of church and state usually makes for a heated and and sometimes fun discussion. Most of us certainly have strong opinions about this topic one way or the other. In some areas I'm ok with the separation of church and state especially in lieu of our modern culture although I'm quite positive the way we define that today is not how it was intended by our forefathers. Soooo...with that I was wondering how those who agree with t...
You have to be kidding me! Giving birth is more dangerous than abortion? Yep, that's what the doctors and nurses in Britain are being told to tell their patients. They just don't stop there. They go on to advise that these same doctors should tell their patients that there is no more trauma, illness or guilt associated with terminating a pregnancy than going full term and delivering it. Tell that to the thousands of women who have aborted...
I remember debating this subject some time back and getting into quite a heated debate about it with a running club member. One of the members of my club posted a public comment on our forum urging parents NOT to vaccinate their children. Of course I had to step in and give my two cents worth at the time. Now with this latest news I do feel vindicated. Of course, now I've moved and am not a member of that club anymore. Some people were ins...
Nine years ago today was Septemeber 11, 2001. A day that is now etched into our memories and our history. It seems like yesterday. It's a day of remembrance and solemnity. It's a day of prayers and patriotism. It's a day never to be forgotten. So where were you on this day 9 years ago?
Breaking News: The Florida Pastor who was gathering Korans to burn has now called off the Koran burning ceremony. I would definitely say this is for his good and for God's glory. While many understand his frustration it was not the right thing to do and it's never right to do wrong. Just because their radicals burn our flags and bibles and kill Christians and Jews doesn't make it right for us to take vengeance and stoop to their level. In th...
Once again, Science is in line with the scriptures. In this case, the Science is in the form of one of the most brilliant Scientific minds of our era, Stephen Hawking. Hawking came out recently saying we need to abandon earth or face extinction. Pretty strong, sobering words coming from a very smart guy. In fact he's advocating we act fast. Reminds me of the question posed to Jesus, another brilliant mind, by his disciples. "What will b...
Religion Court Upholds Expulsion of Counseling Student Who Opposes Homosexuality By Todd Starnes Published July 28, 2010 | Courtesy of Alliance Defense Fund A federal judge ruled schools can expel students, like Julea Ward, who believe homosexuality is morally wrong. Ward's lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University was dismissed. A federal judge has ruled in favor of a public university that removed a Christian student from its graduate program in schoo...
I remember hearing a story similar to the one I heard on the news the night before last and I was just as horrified then as now. Here's the latest one: A woman in our area was asked random questions from her pediatrician per usual. She hesitated over one question, thinking it was none of their business and didn't feel comfortable answering it. The question concerned owning firearms. She was asked if they had them in the home. She sa...
For many July 4th is about picnics and fireworks. It's about family and fun. It's that, but it's so much more. It's about freedom and faith. It's about truth and honor. Freedom at best is when you're free to do what you were created to do. Only then are you really set free. Freedom is not doing what you want to do because that would only result in chaos. There's no such thing as a truly free society. It would be destructive. Real freedom is doing ...
Paper. Check! Pens. Check! Pencils. Check! Condoms. Check! Whhhhaaaat? Condoms for little kids? Elementary school kids? Are you kidding me? First graders? Then I looked and saw it said Provincetown, MA. Well that makes total sense. My in-laws are from MA. That's one town my father in law said years ago (before he died) he wouldn't visit because it's been taken over by the homosexual community. I mean...
Wow. Just wow! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/06/07/helen-thomas-retire-effective-immediately/?test=latestnews Talk about serious foot in mouth disease. Helen Thomas really has it bad. My 92 year old grandmother says when you get very old you can say anything you wish because people will just laugh thinking you're senile and just blow you off. In other words, you're supposed to be able to say things as an old person you'd never get away ...
It's very unusual for someone to put their money where their mouth is. So when I first read about the doctor in the town near me, taking a very strong stand, I was very impressed. It took some guts to do what he did. It could be risky for business to be this opinionated especially in the realm of politics. They say politics and religion don't mix but what about politics and the medical profession? If I ever needed a urologist I'd know where to go ...
There has been alot of talk these days about earthquakes especially in lieu of what we've seen in Haiti, Chile and now Turkey. Here's a story from a Christian who is in Haiti and his observations knowing quite well that this kind of stuff doesn't usually make the evening news: Miracle Days in the History of Haiti by Jerry Miel Mr. Jerry Miel, a missionary / radio engineer in Haiti with World Team and Radio Lumiere (Radio Light), ...
New tax law on the books. Sent to me from my husband. So if you want a sex change operation. Now's the time to do so but that doesn't include breast augmentation. So if you're going from male to female, you're on your own for costs incurred up there! Sex change costs except those for breast augmentation held deductible as medical expenses O'Donnabhain (2010), 134 TC No. 4 The Tax Court has held that an individual could deduct as a medical care expense under ...
