Christian groups upset over new Nicole Kidman flick

29 10 2007

What?  Hollywood has an anti-Christian agenda?  No way!

Story here.

Christian groups and lobbyists would be better served putting their time and money into films like “Facing The Giants“.  That movie far surpasses anything Hollyweird puts out there anyway….on a much leaner budget.  When we argue with the Tinsel-Town elitests, all we do is help them sell their books and movies.

No, thanks.





Will the Colts get any love this Sunday?

The battle of unbeatens.  The first time EVER that two 7-0 teams will meet in the NFL regular season.  I have yet to find a sports writer or prognosticator who is picking the Colts.  And they’re playing at home!  Anybody out there wanna pick Indy and feel good about it?  Go!

‘Phins linebacker: “Will I need a translator in London?”

28 10 2007

The Miami Dolphins will be playing in London this week.  And a player on their defense, Channing Crowder, asked this dubious question.

Yes, you will need a translator.  For they speak English there.  And the following quote of yours tells me without question that you will definitely need someone to translate the way you speak into English.

“I couldn’t find London on a map if they didn’t have the names of the countries.  I don’t know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that. I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. That’s the closest thing I know to London.”

Hey Crowder, while you’re out there trying to find a translator, why not get a defensive coach too.  You guys are getting walked over!

The senior adults from Anna First Baptist Church went to a conference recently that featured the comedy of Aaron Wilburn.  There are several of his videos on Youtube.  Here’s one….





Discipleship lesson from my dog

24 10 2007

_061607_0951a.jpgWe take our dog out several times each day.  That little chore has been a lot more interesting lately due to the rain we’ve been getting.  But, hey, Calvin (our way-cool Schnoodle breed) still has to “do his thing”.

I went home during the noon hour, put him on his leash, grabbed my umbrella, and out the door we went.  It’s pretty obvious that the rain isn’t his favorite thing.  He gets tentative and shakes as the rain hits him and slides down through his fur and onto his skin.  I walk a little closer to him with the umbrella over head and he notices that something is different….the rain has stopped.  Now you and I both know that the rain didn’t stop.  But he doesn’t know the difference.  When he walks away from his master, he gets wet.  When his master is near, it’s as if  the rain stops.

I had no sooner watched this scene play out when the lesson struck me.  The “rain” never stops, spiritually speaking.  Jesus said, “In this world you WILL have trouble”.  Translation:  the “rain” never stops.  So what can we do about it?  In as much as it depends on us, we need to stay close to The Master.  He protects, provides, nourishes, defends, educates, and prays for us.  We need that.  He encourages us to “abide”.  That means we need to stay close to Him.  How I’ve learned to love and cling to that word…abide.

In this world, ”the rain” never stops.  The closer we stay to The Master, the “dry-er” we will be.  Even a dog knows that!
