Non Face to Facebook

>Great blog post by Tim Challies that is worth sharing and praying that we all replace our Facebook idol with worshiping the Lord, reading His word, sheparding our family, church body and others, and prayer time. 700 Billion Minutes • Tim Challies • 11/22/10 Seven hundred billion minutes. That’s how much time Facebook’s 500 million […]

Fantasy Island

California never ceases to amaze me.  On Tuesday, the entire country wakes up and tells our President and Congress: “No More! Change Course!  We’ve had enough!” Yet California, Nevada and Massachusetts all say, “Good Work, Let’s keep it up!”  The states with the worst unemployment, worst housing markets and highest taxes (aside from Nevada) all […]

First the herbalist/accupuncturist told us how bad certain foods are to our digestive tract, such as citrus acids found in orange juice or the effects of soda carbonation on our bodies.

The Forbidden Fruit

>While waiting around the AT&T store to see if they could fix the speaker on Edith’s phone, and after looking at all the different phones…twice, and after checking my e-mails on my blackberry and tweeting, I had nothing left to do, except to observe the two customers that were being helped ahead of me.

Humble Pie
