Gotta laugh....... "It was the first State of the Union Mr. Bush has given in which Congress seemed utterly pre-9/11 in terms of battle lines drawn...It seemed a metaphor for the Democrat Party: "We don't know where to stand or what to stand for, and in fact we're not good at standing for anything anyway, but at least we know we can't stand Republicans." - Peggy Noonan Good ol' Conan...... "Al Gore announced he is finishing up a new book about global warming and the environmen...

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. Nothing is moving. Suddenly a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?" "Terrorists have kidnapped Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. They are asking for a $10 million ransom. Otherwise they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection." The driver asks, "How much is everyone giving, on average?" ...

I've read this before and just received it again. It's worth repeating and I think thought provoking. Can you imagine if we all were trying to kill each other just to get into heaven? It's quite a contrast to the words of Christ .."There is no greater Love than this one that is willing to give up his life for another." Allah or Jesus? by Rick Mathes.......... Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. Dur...

Well tax time is in full force. We are starting to get a bit punchy at the office per usual for this time of year. It's all uphill from here. With me as the only gal with four guys giving me grief and lots to do, I look for ways to enjoy the days. We have a good time even when stressed for the most part. The guys at work are a good bunch and I enjoy what I do. I like my job and the guys I work with. I thought I'd share a bit of tax time humor with ya'll. Hopefully it will bring a...

Years ago well known author and speaker Josh McDowell set about to try and debunk Christianity. He figured he'd investigate the resurrection by examining the evidence and poke holes into what he believed to be a lie. He said "as much as I hated to, I had to admit that if I had been some first century propagandist trying to fake the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I would have done a number of things differently." He said.......If I were to fake the resurrection........... "I w...

This is great. This was written by an 8 year old named Danny Dutton who lives in Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment to explain God. I wonder if any of us could have done so well? EXPLANATION OF GOD: "One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he...

This is a true story. It was the summer of 1997, August 23 to be exact. It was a very warm day and as usual I decided to do my run later in the day because of the heat. I can't remember all that I did that day, but I do remember making my son a homemade birthday cake. It was his 15th birthday. Quite often that time of night, around 6 pm, my husband and I would run together. It was still quite light out and cooling off so it should be a good run I was thinking. Since he was anxi...

With all the latest news about the Muslim extremists and their latest acts of violence I thought I'd jump into the arena but with a different twist. Lately I've been hearing that Islam and Christianity are compatible. Afterall they do follow the God of Abraham. But do they? Really? Let's take a closer look. Closer examination will show that the faiths of Islam and Christianity are incompatible. Mohammed claimed that God's revelation to him was infallible. In doing so making ...

Is there a God? How can we be sure? I believe this can be intelligently answered. The reason we believe He exists is He told us so and revealed Himself to us. God is not silent. He has revealed to us who he is, what he's like and what His plans are for Planet Earth. He has revealed these things thru the bible. This is not just a mere book but the very Word of God. The evidence is more than convincing to any that will honesty investigate its claims. Over the centuries m...

Hopefully Andy reads this because it's inspired by him by his question to me on another thread. A frequent accusation against the bible is that God is a God of wrath in the OT and of love in the NT. The OT contains many stories of God's judgment and wrath. Bible accusers claim this demonstrates a primitive, warlike God in contradiction to a loving Savior that Christ depicts. Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek afterall. While they seem to be in conflict, reflection will sho...

It's been about two full months of blogging for me. I never really wanted to, felt I really didn't have the time. But then one day after months of trying to talk me into it, my youngest son also a JU blogger set me up (so to speak). "There" he said, "you're all set to go now...blog away." I have to say it's been interesting. For the most part I enjoy meeting and talking with others and seeing the other viewpoints on any given topic. I've always liked to find out how people tick....

Ok, what's going on around here? Who in the world is Paul Bourne and why is he taking up so much space? Honestly........ can much thinking really be going on if you're writing that much??? Inquiring minds wanna know. Maybe this will knock him off his spot. Just think of it as KFC to the rescue.......ya right!! Geeeesh....and I thought Dr. Guy had too much time on his hands.
