Things That Make You Say hum?

So wait, let me get this straight, Pastor Ed Young lectured "cussing pastors" in a video, telling them how worldly and ungodly cussing is, preachers who say words like "sucks" and "crap" but he sees no problem with spending an entire sermon on bullying and manipulating his congregation into giving his church their bank account numbers and authorizing automatic draft of their tithe into the church account? Yea, that doesn't turn off the unsaved at all. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures...but no cussing.

Speaking of cussing. Carlos Whittaker said "Damn Monkey bars" on his twitter and Christians went crazy! You know, the kids in the Narnia books actually say that word? People freak out about the weirdest stuff.

Speaking of Narnia, I'm counting down the days till Voyage of the Dawn Treader hits theaters in a couple weeks. Anyone up for a midnight movie on Thursday December 9th?

And finally, some politics because I'm not sure if talking about money hungry preachers and cussing is quite enough to get your feathers ruffled this morning :-)

I completely understand why the Republicans are insisting on extending the tax cuts to the wealthy, I mean it's worked great so far, look how much it's helped the economy. The jobless rate, consumer confidence, charitable giving, everything about the American economy is much better now then it was before the tax cuts right? Trickle down at it's finest.

The idea behind giving big companies tax breaks is so they will have more money to create more jobs. right. Giving high income people tax breaks so they will spend more money, therefore, getting money moving again. They need to give small business more tax breaks so they can create more jobs because that is the back bone of America. the rest is smoke and mirrors.

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t

Holding the Snake by His Head

Image
I had a dream this morning, it started out with me standing in the front yard of my childhood home holding a rattlesnake's mouth shut with my thumbs on top, four fingers on bottom. He was glaring at me with eyes that said "let up your grip and I'll strike hard and fast" I was walking out of my house into the yard with him just'a twitching and flailing around furiously. There were other people around me but I couldn't make out their faces ( you know how dreams are) but I was holding it and trying to figure out how to kill a snake when you're squeezing his mouth shut with your hands. Should I hold him high above my head and throw him like I'm tossing a basketball back in play? No, I can't throw far, he'll probably fall on my head and bite my neck! Should I have someone cut his body off while I'm still holding his mouth shut? Should I get someone to stab him in the head, between my thumbs, risking my hands getting cut? Oh lord, what am I go
