Friday, September 23rd, 2005This morning started out a drag. My mother-in-law borrowed our mini-van last night so she could pick up a new mattress for Judah’s bed. (A blessing!) Then this morning, the car stalled on her way to the house to drop it off, and wouldn’t restart despite half a tank of gas. Since the car is [...]
I’m feeling Abe tonight
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005“[O]ur fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.” Link.
Wrong on everything
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005In The Revolution will not be Televised, Dean for America campaign manager Joe Trippi laments how television has reduced political campaigning to posturing around meaningless 30 second soundbites, negative accusations, and empty sloganeering. Case in point (parody alert): What would politics be like if Jesus were here?
Al Gore’s campaign manager supports President Bush?
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005Apparently she does. Democratic party power player Donna Brazile (campaign manager for Al Gore’s 2000 presidential candidacy), a New Orleans native whose family was devastated by Katrina, broke party lines in supporting the President’s Katrina relief efforts. Yesterday she told syndicated columnist Cindy Adams: “Right now we need a president who will help. He’s helping. [...]

Is the Assemblies of God ready for the Emerging Church?
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005One guy’s attempt to translate the so-called “emergent church” for an A/G district: “Now remember, I was to challenge and represent a mindset that is growing inside and outside the church walls. So I don’t necessarily do all these things, or fit into all these mindsets. But I do long to understand this ‘people group,’ [...]
Third
Wednesday, September 21st, 2005“New York, which won for the ninth time in 10 games, took over the AL East lead from Boston, which lost 7-4 at Tampa Bay. The Yankees had been in sole possession of first place for only two days this season: after an opening night win over the Red Sox and after a July 18 [...]
An outright lie, or grossly misinformed?
Wednesday, September 21st, 2005The account was riveting. Jefferson Parrish President Aaron Broussard wept on Meet the Press about his colleague’s mother who died following Katrina, supposedly four days after the storm because of the federal delay in rescuing her. His tale had drama (“Someone’s coming for you, mama!”); suspense (four days trapped in a nursing home); and unmistakeable [...]
I just watched friends make an emergency landing at LAX
Wednesday, September 21st, 2005Brian Meza’s parents were on the jetBlue plane that made an emergency landing at LAX 10 minutes ago. He called us to pray a few minutes before, a very tense few minutes, especially when the sparks started flying. Thank God for their safety and the pilot’s skills.
Bearing Down
