In honor of Reformation Day.  I was listening to a local radio program this morning and Martin Luther’s entire speech was read. Read this line a couple of times: If, then, I am not convinced by proof from Holy Scripture, … Continue reading →

(NOTE: FOR SOME REASON, THE LAST COMMENTS ARE NOT SHOWING UP IN FIREFOX, BUT ARE IN IE.) About the Roman Catholic church and divorce and remarriage! The more I learn, the more I realize that (as Moonshadow pointed out), the … Continue reading →

If there was the same justice for all – across the board, I’d on the fast track to hell. God is a just God, but somehow, unjustly, He saved me. Our text this morning was Luke 18; the parable of … Continue reading →

Don’t ask me how I ended up here…but involved studying for my test on the human nervous system…

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg. And thus began the Reformation.  Today, there are four traditions that have come to us through the Reformation:  Lutheren, Anabaptist, Anglican (which is … Continue reading →

4 1/4 pounds; seventeen (17) sticks of butter.  Total of 7 1/4 pounds in 5 weeks.  (ok, it could be going faster, but I’m not feeling deprived)

The Road Not Chosen (a blog I read – almost – daily) has a very good post on embryonic stem cell research.  This is written by the mother of a young man who could benefit from this research.

Another update:  From the blog of one of those who used the accusation of hatred against those who disagree with them, saying that we don’t have to use the literal word “hatred”…and (honestly) – if doctrinal disagreement equals “hatred” – … Continue reading →

Read, bookmark (or better yet print it out so you don’t lose it when the story is dropped) and remember what it says. “Stem Cells Might Cause Brain Tumors” There are those campaigning to open up federal funding for embryonic … Continue reading →

“Life is short…stay awake for it.” (3 Weight Watchers points…just right for breakfast)

From Reformed Catholicism. John Calvin (as opposed to Roman Catholicism and Martin Luther) maintained that the “real presence” of Christ is present in the Lord’s Supper. And yet, not the “carnal” or physical presence.  As the writer of this article … Continue reading →

This is a “Carnival of Beauty” “assignment” that sent me down memory lane. My “baby” is reminding me that she’s going to be 18 in a few weeks. She’s my “surprise”. My Tom was born first – before that I’d … Continue reading →

I read Barbara Curtis’ “Mommy Life” blog nearly every day (although I rarely comment there or anywhere lately).  This week she wrote a post about a divorced mom with five kids. This mom says that she’s been a “baby Christian” … Continue reading →

Didn’t go so well… So…back to the daily postings that I’m pretty sure nobody reads, but that I know are there…(mind game) Goals Drink all my water (or green tea) every day. “Eat the rainbow” (red, green, yellow/white, purple and … Continue reading →

I’m reading through a “Ten Country Survey of Pentecostals“  (HT: Boars Head Tavern). There’s some pretty expected inforamation that compares Pentecostals, Charismatics, (sometimes) “other” Christians and “all” Christians. What caught my eye was a question about the “U.S. Led War … Continue reading →

I think this is normal for me, this time of year.  But, here’s a couple of updates… I either did really well, or really terrible on my test.  I don’t think there’s an in-between. I’m either looking at sleeping with … Continue reading →

Lecture exam on integumentary system, skeletal system, muscle system. Need to know all of the chemical processes needed for muscle contraction… I normally don’t have trouble with classes, but this one is kicking my butt.  I don’t know what I’m … Continue reading →

I don’t usually “do politics” here, but this relates directly to me. I’m not big on unions; my labor union is for this proposal, but I’ve voted in ways contrary to their recommendations before and I will again. This is … Continue reading →

(you might be better off not knowing!)  My family Christmas is today!  My mom and dad spend the winter in Florida, so we always have our “Christmas” in October so they can leave before they see snow (HAH! they got … Continue reading →

The Carnival is hosted by Lindsey at “just enjoy the journey” There are many good posts!
