It ain’t exactly the lion lying down with the lamb. But cute none the less. There’s also a video of this story.
I usually don’t go for this sappy human interest stuff. But I guess having a dog that’s no bigger than a rodent changes a guy (Calvin weighs 5.5 pounds at 14 weeks).
Who do you like so far?
Who needs to go this week?
Does Simon own anything other than black, children’s t-shirts?
The answers to these and other pressing questions, coming up soon…..
Madonna thinks that her 10-year-old daughter dresses too “sexy”. And mommy wants her to be more conservative in her attire.
Gee, wonder where she learned that?
Sharp kid!
Stick this one in the “unbelievable” file.
A guy breaks the law, runs from the police, the police chase him, the police ram the criminal’s car to get him to stop (before he hurts or kills someone else), the resulting accident leaves the criminal a quadriplegic. So the law-breaker sues the police department for using “excessive force”.
Listen to what the criminal’s sleazy attorney says in his “client’s” defense.
Police officers are heroes who put their lives on the line every day they put on the uniform. Law-breaking criminals who lead police on high-speed pursuits are scum. I’m sorry for what happened to this guy. But it’s his own fault.
Al Gore is a big, fat hypocrite.
Apparently Gore wants YOU to limit YOUR use of “global warming” (a myth) energy in YOUR home / house. But that doesn’t apply to him.

I’ve been preaching through the book of Joshua in our morning worship services at Anna First Baptist Church for the last several weeks.
This past Sunday, we looked at the topic of God’s promises.
Here’s my outline in its entirety. If you can use any part of it or all of it, feel free.
Joshua 21:43-45 (HCSB)
1. The Lord gave
*to those who are not yet Christ-followers…John 3:16
*to those who are Christ-followers….Jeremiah 29:11
*The Bible says that God gives success, encouragement, rest, victory, wisdom, authority
2. The Lord gave “Israel”
*many of God’s promises are directed particularly to God’s people (His children)
*what it means to be “His”….plan of salvation
*to be a citizen of a nation there are certain things you must “do”…to be a citizen of heaven, everything has already been done
3. The Lord kept His promise(s)
*look at the entire Old Testament up to this point (and the lives / ministries of Moses and Joshua in particular) at God’s faithfulness and “promise-keeping”
*God promises in His Word to save, forgive, guide, meet needs, provide peace, and to keep / secure His own
4. God’s people “took possession” of God’s promises
*most people don’t even know what God has promised, there are a relative few that do know what God promises in His Word, and even fewer still who choose to live their lives “within” God’s promises
*when you’ve got a headache, it’s not enough to know that there’s tylenol in the house…you have to “put it in you”! Same with God’s promises!
5. God’s people “settled” in God’s promises
*are you remaining in God’s promises?
*Hebrews 12 talks about living sacrifices…..have a tendency to crawl off the altar!
*John 15…we need to abide / remain in God’s plan, His will, His promises
*the most miserable people on earth are not lost people, they are saved people who are out of fellowship with God…because they know how good it can be when it isn’t. Lost folks don’t have that point of reference
6. God gave His people rest
*Matthew 11:28-30
*rest / peace is NOT the absence of conflict…it’s the presence of Christ in the midst of inevitable conflict
7. The enemies of God’s people could not stand against them
*Exodus 23:20-22
*Paul reminds us that our enemies are not flesh and blood (people), but rather the evil behaviors that people exhibit (Galatians 5:19f)
*the Galatians passage also outlines our “allies” in spiritual warfare….fruit of the Spirit
8. God’s promises did not (do not) fail….ever!
*Psalm 145:13
*what is the only proper response of a people that belong to a God Who cannot fail? 2 Corinthians 7:1
9. All God’s promises are fulfilled
*God’s has made some promises that have been fulfilled with unbelievable detail….prophecies concerning Jesus’ birth, life, ministry, suffering, death, resurrection
*only a few that have yet to be fulfilled….but, given God’s track record, we believe that these yet unfulfilled promises will most certainly come to pass
*talking about His return and His certain, swift judgment
*John 14 – His promised return, Matthew 25, His certain judgment
*what if His return was today?
How did your favorite NFL team do last season? Did they play up or down to their fan’s expectations? What does your team need to do in the draft and/or free agent market this off-season? Who do you think will go 1 through 5 in the first round this year?
Put yourself in the “war room” and tell us what you think!
Let’s try this again. Break each division down team by team. Pick ‘em top to bottom. Also share who you believe will be the “players to watch” and the keys to how the division will shake out in the end. We look next at the National League West (teams are listed in the order they finished in 2006).
Padres
Dodgers
Giants
Diamondbacks
Rockies (the rarified air of “the launching pad”…I think I’d rather moderate a church business meeting about worship style than pitch at Coors!)
GO! ! ! ! !
I had heard a little about this last season but never thought much of it. Just thought it was another example of some journalist making up news where there wasn’t any. You know how those journalists are.
Here’s the story on how Scotty and The Skip are now BFF.
From a fan’s standpoint, Rolen was NOT in good form when this rift supposedly began. I believe that Larussa’s decision was baseball-related…nothing else.
What are the “off the field” issues to which Rolen refers in the Sporting News (.com) article? I had not heard of anything regarding this.
With the signing of A.J. Feeley, CNN / Sport Illustrated (.com) is calling Jeff Garcia “expendable“.
We’ll take him in KC!
