Sorry for the late post, but I have been thrown quite a few technical issues at the same time that I’m reinstalling my laptop. It isn’t the best of timing. Well, I came across another blog called “Armstrongism – The Ultimate Guide”. You can probably tell by the title that…
I recently heard a sermon that apparently was given around Father’s Day. I have to tell you that, while there were some good points brought up, overall the sermon seemed a little self-serving. Hopefully, I can avoid sounding that way, as I myself am a father. Fatherhood is important. Dr…
The BBC News posted the article, “Aung San Suu Kyi’s supporters mark her 65th birthday”. As I stated before, I did not believe the government of Myanmar had any intention of releasing her before the fall elections, and it looks like this prediction will unfortunately come true. Myanmar is a…

Here is a story that caught my interest, if for no other reason that it leaves me somewhat conflicted. Today at MSNBC.com posted about a Florida “Teacher fired for premarital sex”. She worked at Southland Christian School, and her troubles started when she requested maternity leave. I have no doubt…
I was listening to a message this morning, and it got me thinking about beginnings. The argument behind intelligent design (ID) is that the universe is so intricately woven together that it requires a design. A design, of course, requires a designer. And yet, there are those who will say…
I heard a radio preacher speaking the other day about Jonathan, son of Saul and friend of David. Specifically, it was 1Sa 14, where Jonathan and his armor bearer went into the garrison of the Philistines. I suspected that I might blog about this today. After yesterday’s sermon, I knew…
