Chef and the young princesses are vacationing in Florida, leaving me and Ranger at home. Every night I cook a hamburger and have a spinach salad. (If you know me you know what a tremendous accomplishment that is.) After dinner, Ranger licks the hamburger plate and the salad dressing spoon. He loves it but it […]
“My pastor says GOD BLESS AMERICA” I saw this on a bumper sticker yesterday. Obama and Jeremiah Wright must be reeling.
There’s been a lot of controversy about this particular quote. I have yet to find a person that I can have a conversation about it. Everyone wants to go with their particular (mostly political) opinion […]
You all remember the Spanish Inquistion. It’s what we blast the Catholic Church, Christianity in general and the Middle Ages for. It is symbolic of everything the post modern mind hates. And yet it had good intentions. The point was to help the recipient avoid the pains of hell. The idea was that one could […]
Is it just me or does it seem that overall non Christians do a better job of celebrating Christmas than Christians do? I know penguins and polar bears, which is what I have in my front yard, have nothing to do with the birth of Christ. They are more fun than the sterile nativity […]
We just painted the living room walls pumpkin pie orange. (We did this in time to defeat the hated Florida Gators, insuring that we will have to paint every year.) The curtains are dark blue.
This is the question. Can we, as righteous Bulldogs, hang Auburn colors on the wall before […]
The Parable of the Good Samaritan has to be one of the most preached upon passages in the Bible. It has seeped into our culture so that even the non church going understand the phrase, even if they don’t know the story. I’ve heard both liberals and conservative hold forth on this passage […]
I know you’re bracing yourself for one of those “how am I, do you really care?” blogs. I may have done one; I’d have to check. I will admit it can be a tough question. I always ask myself, what do they know, what do they want to know?
Anyway I’m ok. […]
Wednesday night, the girls and I returned from dinner to find the neighbors’ dog in the yard. He’s a smallish dog, but aggressive. I sent the girls into the house and positioned myself between them and the dog. This worked well until the neighbors’ other dog, the pit bull showed up.
Quickly the […]
The eldest princess has been very valuable in my fight against the forces of darkness. (Actually she’s been helping me clean the house and tend to Chef and the younger princess who are feeling ill.) As her reward, we went out to breakfast after church.
She picked a place whose name implies they serve scottish […]
We discussed Elijah and the prophets of Baal in Sunday School the other day. It is one of my favorite stories of all time and should really be made into a movie. One of the people in class mentioned how it must have been easier to believe back in the time of miracles. […]
