God isn’t looking for strong people. He wants disciples weak enough to lean on his strength, not our own. The apostles argued about who was tops among the twelve, so Jesus showed them that God is looking for little children to populate his Kingdom. Christians in Corinth thought they were strong and wise, so the Apostle Paul made a point of telling them how weak and foolish he was. When
This week’s Tuesday linkfest is dedicated to the proliferating yet still under-reported major scandals of the Obama administration. The misdeeds are breathtaking both in scope and sheer number. In addition to the languishing outrage of Operation Fast and Furious, new information has come to light in the past week on three huge scandals. Benghazi response & coverup George Will notes that the Benghazi attack was not “a movie review conducted
No, I’m not talking about the Benghazi scandal this time. I’m just too covered up with sports today to write about anything but sports. Thanks, still, for visiting.

When it comes to worship, I’m one of those people who like to be carried away in emotion. I like to lift my hands over my head, shout “Amen! Hallelujah!” and maybe even start clapping. You wouldn’t know it from watching me, though, because for years I’ve worshiped with congregations who generally don’t like that sort of thing. And here’s the great part. Not being able to do all those
The recent brouhaha over a local county commissioner’s anti-Islamic Facebook posting points up an issue that ‘s worth remembering: While most Moslems are not terrorists, most terrorist attacks, in the United States at least, are indeed carried out by Moslems.
