Rambling Political Thought #1

Things aren't looking good for Hillary. Like a lot of women in Washington, I think she's just starting to realize she may have slept with Bill Clinton for nothing.

Christian Schools, Evolution, and Sex

This last fall, several evangelical Christian schools in Quebec were told by the the Ministry of Education that they had to teach sex education and Darwin's theory of evolution or shut down.

Why shut them down? Just let them keep going. The fittest schools should survive, if what they say is true.

Politics

From Jay Leno:

"Everyone is so concerned now where all of the candidates are born. McCain was born on a military base in Panama. Hillary was born outside Chicago, and if you believe the media, Barack Obama was born in a manger."

A great writer

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"


He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Texas Aggies, #1!

Texas A&M beat
Nebraska who beat
Iowa St who beat
Iowa who beat
Illinois who beat
Ohio State

and

Texas A&M beat
Louisiana-Monroe who beat
Alabama who beat
Arkansas who beat
LSU

Therefore, A&M should play A&M for the national title, right?

So, you think my faith in Christ is a "crutch"?

Well, is there some reason why I should be interested in the least at what an accidentally animated piece of meat that appeared for no reason, out of a blind, pitiless, indifferent, causeless cosmos, in the form of a random collection of chemicals on its purposeless way to oblivion,"'thinks" about my faith in Jesus?

Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace,
One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!
