You should probably be working instead of reading this. We have nothing to say that has not been said better by someone else. We have no insight that is deeper than what God has already revealed. We are fools for Christ sake and perfectly comfortable with the fact that it's considered nutty to be a Christian these days. If you find anything of value here consider it the Providence of God.

And on the eighth day...


"The likeness between the religion of this period and that of the apostolic age was so small, that if St. Paul had risen from the dead he would hardly have called it Christianity at all!" (J. C. Ryle commenting on English society during the time of John Wycliffe).

    This is what the modern-day 'Israelites' are worshipping at the bottom of the Mount.

    Um, could I get a referral to his dentist and orthodontist? And maybe his hairdresser...

    You'll notice that God never said "...and it was good" after the 7th day.

    I have heard him preach in person (while living in Texas). People like this teach that if you only "name it and claim it," repeat certain verses over and over, and - of course - send in the obligatory "faith offering," you will be healed of all diseases and God will send you the best hunk/babe for a spouse and you'll have a mansion and a yacht and a fat bank account. And when life is over, a seat right next to Christ at the dinner table, depending on how much "seed money" you give.

    What quintessential hogwash....

    I couldn't help but notice the caption right above his head.

    Also, for the circular caption, "10 Ways to Fix Texas", I can think of at least ONE that has to do with the cover-boy.

    "Electrocketscientist" cool name but reveal yourself because we don't like anonymity around here. With a name like that you've got to be in HSV.

    Dude, I called you from the parking lot of our favorite gift shop today. I couldn't resist the comment - but I didn't have an account on Blogger ... so I made one up real fast. : )

    Sorry to offend.
