Shame on him.<br /><br />It’s times like this that I wish I had Romney’s or Adelson’s (the guy banking Newt) money so I could give Santorum a fair chance.Ron (aka RealityCheck)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03274921909241630662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-53883056964342654242012-01-27T20:36:13.656-06:002012-01-27T20:36:13.656-06:00"God told me so" is so last week.

I'm wondering what will happen to SBC real estate when churches want to withdraw. <br /><br />The Dusseldorf reminds me of taking off or landing at Amarillo International Airport during a dust storm.

A few from our church are involved with the local CPC. <br /><br />It's kind of ironic that one of the things that drew me most strongly to our church is the solid, expository preaching. But I wouldn't mind if the pastor diverted from his series <i>occasionally</i> to hit topics like the sanctity of life. A little support from the pulpit goes a long way, yah?<br /><br />Our community also has a "Great Expectations" home, where unwed moms (usually young) can live, and get support, mentoring, etc. They can always use volunteers. And it's a great way to put our money (and time and effort) where our mouths are :D<br /><br />JulieHerding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-65813011730834316732012-01-27T15:37:27.882-06:002012-01-27T15:37:27.882-06:00@Robert: I'm sure Carenet could use a lot mor...@Robert: I'm sure Carenet could use a lot more volunteers.

My wife started volunteering as a counselor at one here in Houston because one of the women at our old church works there. And I am sure that they still have quarterly collections for the pregnancy center there. That was/is quite a blessing to the church and to the community. In fact, I'd recommend that everybody that reads here should contact somebody in their church about doing something similar...it is a great way to serve.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987985549747283669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-46550152395708964242012-01-27T12:21:19.861-06:002012-01-27T12:21:19.861-06:00Oh... 21 bacon recipes... and I haven't had br...Oh... 21 bacon recipes... and I haven't had breakfast yet! You're killin' me! But who knew it would stop bloody noses? (I think I'll stick to pinching and cauterizing.)<br /><br />Good grief. A hundred dollar hot dog? I don't care <i>what</i> you put on it. It's a scary tube of mystery meat that no one in their right mind would eat if they could identify. *shudder*<br /><br />So the government school <i>asks</i> to boy to write an op-ed against gay adoption and then <i>bullies</i> him when he does. <b>Why am I not surprised</b>.<br /><br />Read the piece about the pro-life woman, returning to the abortion clinic. I feel her pain, regarding churches and individuals not wanting to get involved. There's a big difference between just being anti-abortion and being truly pro-life.<br /><br />Get some rest, Dan!

Get off the phone, people.<br /><br /> - What does alligator taste like? My imagination makes me think "italian sausage".<br /><br /> - My take on the current GOP candidates:<br />Romney: Faithful spouse, but politically centrist/accomodationist, and religious cultist.<br />Newt: His moral compass spins like in the bermuda triangle. As does his political record.<br />Santorum: Family values, stellar legislative history, Pelagian.<br />Ron Paul: Man-exalting, Ayn Rand-ian radical individualist<br /><br />Needless to say, I could vote for Santorum or Romney, but with reservations (substantial reservations in Romney's case).
