jesus christ

I have always had a sentimental attachment to Silent Night. When I was in Catholic grade school, it was the first Christmas song I ever learned. We kindergartners sang in it in that year’s Christmas Assembly. I learned all the versus by heart and my parents assured me I sounded amazing.

I'm giving thanks with a grateful heart A to Z this thanksgiving season - this is a repost (slightly updated) from the last three years, so I'm glad things are stable. 2008 has been full of extreme challenges, but on the upside, I am celebrating one year anniversaries with my son Gary getting married to Nora and giving away my daughter Megan to Chris.

~I don't like either of the major candidates and feel that our two-party system is deeply flawed

Please see the previous post to catch the introduction to this sermon.

3.  Truck?  Scheduled.

Robin Smith is livid over comments made by Rep. Steve Cohen asserting that Jesus was a “community organizer” and Pontius Pilate was a “Governor”:

Jerome believe that the reason Barack Obama has trouble with Evangelicals is that he has no compelling “born again” moment with which to weave into his narrative of coming to Christ:

DID THEY NOT REMEMBER THE LAST FREAKING TIME THEY DID A SPEECH IN FRONT OF A GREEN SCREEN?!?!?!?

Bull[bleep], we don't have your respect, we have your contempt...right back at ya.
