Katrina

Today was a good day at Champion Forest… I can say that we actually have done/are doing some things that will make a definite impact in people’s lives. (And I’m not saying that spiritual things are not important…)
More will be coming tomorrow, but what I can say now is that we’ve adopted some folks to [...]

The Crazies Are Out

Some German papers have declared: Katrina Should be A Lesson To US on Global Warming [Link].
For some, the powerful storm which slammed the Gulf Coast on Monday, is a symbol of the sort of environmental terrors awaiting the world thanks to global warming and proof positive that America needs to quickly reverse its policy of [...]

Thoughts on Katrina

Can you imagine what the French said when they founded New Orleans? “Hey, look at this great flat piece of land! It would be perfect for a new settlement. The best part is that it’s only 6 feet beneath sea level. If we pile up a bunch of dirt along the outside, it will be [...]

A Walking Washer

So I’m doing laundry tonight, and I hear this hideous noise. It’s coming from the laundry room. It’s a cross between a squealing pig and jumping kangaroo. I open the door to the laundry room and the washing machine had moved into the doorway. I’m guessing this is bad.
I’ll have to call a repairman and [...]

Hunter S. Thompson

What’s the big deal with Hunter S. Thompson? Who really cares about him? I can’t figure out why the launch of his ashes into space really matters [Link].
Any ideas?

I May Gag…

So gas is expensive. Yesterday I saw a gas station (in Houston) with prices ranging from $2.99 to $3.19 a gallon. Of course, one block over, the prices were $0.40 cheaper…but still, that’s a lot for a gallon of gas.
I was reading an article on MSNBC this afternoon — “What if you had to pay [...]

A Visit to Lakewood

I went to Lakewood Church tonight…it was an interesting experience. And sadly, it was exactly what I expected-health and wealth Gospel. Everything sounded nice-it was like honey flowing from Osteen’s lips. But it was vapid speech that meant so little…
Joel Osteen: “All things work out to your advantage…”
Bible: “And we know that God causes all [...]

Perception and Treason

I’ve been thinking a lot about the war in Iraq. The media speaks in willowy terms about the insurgency there, and they speak even more glowingly about the war resistance here. [Link] They speak of the quagmire–the terrible situation over there repeatedly (Army planning for four more years in Iraq: Top general says U.S. [...]
