Most everyone is familiar with the story of the shepherds watching over their flocks the night angels came to announce the birth of the Messiah. He would be born in a little town of Bethlehem. Shepherds. Flocks. Sheep. Lambs. Metaphors abound using these terms in scripture. Shepherding was a big part of everyday life for the Jew. Biblically speaking, the writers of scripture frequently used shepherding imagery depic...
The last few years I've done a fair amount of traveling. These days, mostly by plane. For the most part I've run into very little trouble making my connections easily and on time. No more. It's getting harder and harder to find reasonable non-stop flights and therein lies most of the problem. Last February we ended up stuck in Maine for an extra five days as we watched one connection after another disappear. Our Monday morning made-well-in-advance...
I'll just cut to the chase and say..it hurt like hell. At least what I would think hell would feel like. And if this little thing caused me so much pain I can only imagine the pain and suffering in hell. I had no idea what happened at first. I looked over at my trash can and saw trash spilling over the top and thought I'd just push it down a bit. As soon as I put my hands near the top without really touching anything I felt extreme searing pain in my lef...
SEASON'S GREETINGS T'was the night before elections And all through the town Tempers were flaring, Emotions up and down I, in my jammies With my dog in my lap, Had cut off the TV Tired of political clap-trap When all of a sudden There arose such a noise I peered out my window Saw Obama and his boys They had come...
Just passing on an interesting email from a friend. I don't really have any close lawyer friends enough to say what party they belong to but it got me to wondering... The Lawyers' Party By Bruce Walker * The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers Party . Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizab...
I have tried unsuccessfully for two days now to leave comments on various blogs and cannot. I keep getting Your reply was not submitted successfully Bad auth Try again. Does anyone know why?
It's getting heated down here in Florida and I'm not talking the weather, which is actually quite nice these days. No, it's the political climate I'm speaking about. The race for Governor has ignited white-hot with the flames growing in intensity with each passing day. In short it's getting quite nasty and uncomfortable. I've decided I'm not voting for Govenor because of it and because there is no integrity in either of the candidates. I...
Cheers to the upcoming election *raises coffee mug* Indian Wanting Coffee: An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter: "Want coffee." The waiter says, "Sure, Chief. Coming right up." He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee..... The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, ...
The love of truth is a rare commodity these days. Critical thinking has become a lost art. We're living in an age of "if it feels good it must be good" and "if it's true for you", great but don't expect me to join in. My truth and your truth are not in sync nor does it have to be because there is no such thing as truth anymore. This morning I was studying about a blind man from birth who was healed by Jesus. Most know the leaders of the day (the Pharis...
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...
I make a pretty good chocolate zucchini cake. I used to make it often in the summers when I had an abundance of zucchini from the garden. Even my son who hated squash liked this cake. Carrot cake is a crowd pleaser. Just about everyone likes a good carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. But I have a new one for you. I just got this recipe for an Unbeetable Chocolate Cake. I haven't tried it yet but looking at the picture it looks absolutely delici...
There's been increasing discussion over the differences between Islam and Christianity. Are they basically the same, just different religions? Do they worship the same God? Are their basic tenets the same with just a few variables? I see major differences between the Islamic faith and the Christian Faith. How tolerant is the Muslim faith? How does it compare to the tolerance of the Christian faith? Are they both equally intolerant of a...
My husband and I have been teaching High School Sunday School for a while now. We enjoy the kids and the challenge of teaching teens. About a year or so ago one of the Deacons asked if I'd be interested in teaching the little kids. Pre-K. I said not really. I seem to get asked this alot down here. I think mainly that's because I look young even though my kids are all grown and gone. In some cases I'm one of the youngest in the church s...
