The Little Blue Circle
(Preview)
Eckhart Tolle. A New Earth:Awakening To Your Life's Purpose. It's not a book I've read, but as I stand here looking at it, I am wondering why it is so familiar. The name and the title do not ring a bell. The cover is nothing to shout at. But I should know this book, or this author... why? It is the little blue c...

Homosexuality (1)

This is a multiple part blog. The first part is a look at scriptures that deal with homosexuality and an interpretation or look at them that is different from the normal traditional understanding. This is not necessarily my viewpoint so dont start throwing stones yet. The second part (or second blog...

I'm Glad Obama Won
(Preview)
Going into yesterday's election I was hearing left and right from plenty of people that the greatest issue facing our country today is abortion. I think that is partly right and the "partly" is the biggest reason why I am glad that the "pro life" candidate did not win. The greate...

45 Cents (Or Perhaps a Buck Seven)
(Preview)
OK, so I've been thinking lately how a lot of my blogs (and a lot of the blogs I decide not to post) tend to be more of a complaining nature. I point out all the problems in the church, the world, me, etc. Now, it is good to be honest. It is good to keep looking with a fair and balanced view of reality. Too often we...

Homosexuality (2)
(Preview)
OK, sorry I got to this a little late. I honestly kept procrastinating as I waited for more and various comments to come in before continuing. As I said last time, the arguments I was presenting were not necessarily my opinion. They are simply defenses I have seen used in the past. I respect any who hold t...

A Gift From God. (Abortion)

Take your index and middle fingers and bring them up to your neck. Press them right under your jaw. Can you feel it? Do you sense it? Stop reading this for a second, close your eyes, and just take in the rhythm. Feel the life steadily ma...

Pro Life Means Pro Life In Every Situation (Death Penalty)
(Preview)
One of the big arguments that some pro choice advocates continually throw back at me is something along the lines of, "How can you be so against a mother having the right to terminate her pregnancy when you can condone capital punishment and thousands of people dying in the war when these are fu...

Barak Obama on Christianity
(Preview)
Sorry to my international readers if this bores you. This is not my words, it is Obama either in intrviews or giving speeches talking about his being a Christian. I looked this up after receiving the umpteenth "forwarded" email about him being a muslim along with all the other reasons he'...

Homosexuality (3 - finis)
(Preview)
They were free to go home. After seventy years of being exiles, of being strangers in a strange land, the Israelites had been given the freedom to go back home and rebuild their life. They went home. Many of them did. But they did not rebuild. They were still broken. They were still defeated. They road ha...

Idol Worship
(Preview)
I was reading an article that I somehow misplaced on the impact of the birth and growth of Islam on the medieval church. It frustrates me because I don't remember where I printed it up from and it seems to have disappeared from the black hole I call my apartment. I thought it was written by a professor at Fu...

I wanted to see the weather this morning. I mean, I knew it was cold and wet and snowing and white everywhere (this is the middle of April for goodness sake. Enough already.), but I didn't know for how long or how bad it was going to be. I also knew that part of Binghamton lost power and I was wondering how muc...
