Another (fake) Gospel

There will always been those that would pervert the Gospel. There are the blatant perversions, like this story from Worldnetdaily.com.

Iran’s Basij Press is claiming a purported Gospel of Barnabas, discovered in 2000, will prove that Islam is the final and righteous religion, causing the collapse worldwide of Christianity. Continue reading

It’s an oxymoron

I read where a San Francisco city official consulted a Ouija board before city leaders voted to recommend naming a Navy ship after slain gay rights activist, Harvey Milk.
The city official said he believes he made contact with Milk’s spirit and that Milk spelled out letters indicating: “Good riddance to don’t ask, don’t tell.” Continue reading

The Finale

It is finale week!
Last Tuesday was the season finale of NCIS; last night was the finale of Dancing with the Stars, and tonight is the finale of American Idol.
The only thing is it’s not really over. Next season there will be another NCIS, another American Idol, and another ballroom champion! Continue reading

Family Reunion

The Hook Children in 1987-(left to right) Desi, Prentis, Curtis, Hazel, Alton, Versie, Vadis, Elvie, and Era

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. Matt 18:20
I got the email this morning reminding me that the Hook Reunion is Saturday.
Hook is my mother’s maiden name and so the name of my Grandfather’s family. Continue reading

Another eclipse

God said, “Let great lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years.” Gen 1:14
Since the beginning, the heavenly bodies have been on a time schedule that has been set into motion by the Creator. Continue reading

Do not split what God has joined!

The latest catalyst to the debate seems to be North Carolina voters upholding the definition that marriage is between a man and a woman.
I wasn’t really going to chime in on this but since the President has, I must!
In his interview with Robin Roberts of ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” on May 9, 2012, President Obama said, Continue reading

Rumors vs Truth

Last Friday Linda texted me and said that the Broaddus school’s were on lock-down. What she heard and thus relayed to me was that the same man that had vandalized our church air-conditioners was out on bond and at it again. Continue reading

The Control of Anger

People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord. Prov 19:3
Last night Linda read me a really ignorant Facebook status comparing religion to something that utterly made no sense.
The person that made the comparison is angry at God about the things that have happened in their life. Continue reading

How old are you?

So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. Gen 5:5
The first time I read that I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was reading it right. I cannot begin to imagine living to be 930 years old. I just had a birthday and it took me 55 years to get to where I am now. Though it has been 55 years it seems to have passed so quickly. Continue reading

Remembering

My dad died almost a year ago. Yesterday I received the news that the only surviving sibling, my Uncle Fridolph, passed away.
He was one of nine children born to Charlie and Victoria Swanson.
I can’t help but be a little saddened as this side of the family has dwindled down to “us” cousins! Continue reading
