"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves." 2 Peter 2:1

"We have persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people; a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it is time to turn the page." Barak Obama

Lord Jesus, please don't let these presumptuous words come to stab us in our turned backs.

Mark my words, the Iraqi People aren't on the same page you're turning...But the Iranians can't put the book down.

Do you think you're safe?

Journey Through the Life

"They worshiped idols, though the LORD had said, "You shall not do this." 2 Kings 17:12

(Must be read with a southern accent)

Oh my stars y'all, I was leavin my script reading class tonite. And do you know who I ran smack dab into? P Diddy. That's right. He was standing right outside of the famous Birdland just a talkin with his big ole bodygaurd and sure enough, if I didn't walk right into his sturdy forearm. I just said scuse me and made my train. I tell you... this city done draws them in...

And thanks to Mr. Slade for sharing this...although you may be gritting your teeth, you knew I would find favor. I hope some readers will too. The Brothers Koch >>

Testifying in Black and White

"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light." Psalm 36:9

Its quite possible this site will go abandoned in the next few weeks, leaving only a mere reminder of this whimsical journey.

My brain is having a go at it grasping simple words like misanthrope or coagulate these days. Therefore expressing my elusive thinking self in melodramatic cerebral tones like Woody Allen escapes any of my current capability.

Besides, Manhattan isn't his Manhattan anymore and I find it difficult to wax poetically when its been overtaken by fashion mongers and $20 dollar drinks at the Standard's Boom Boom Room.

Rhapsody in Blue just doesn't have the same effect with a back beat.

Reasons for Living circa 1979- A Recording of Potato Head Blues by Louis Armstrong.

Apples and Pears by Cezanne.

Reasons for Living circa now. Goddamn Facebook Updates on your blackberry and striped micro minis.

It dawned on me after church this morning that my reason for living is often hid in the darkness of daily life and certainly masked by the literal roads I walk.

Writing is shining a Light on, letting the whole world sing about the glory of my Risen King and reminding all that are still searching somewhere vastly beyond the "Intolerant" Christian who has sustained through love that...

Mohammed's grave is occupied.

Krishna's grave... also full.

Buddha's grave? He's in it...

But Jesus' grave is empty and OUR Redeemer Lives.

I'd be worshiping Him instead of the new Fall collection.

If every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, the question is...When?

*Sorry I missed this...>>

ZZZZzzz

"I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8

Shhhh, I'm growing very sleepy. Cue the women fighting over the plastic in the street followed by the sanitation trucks at 3 AM.

It's time to find a church in the city.

I'm ready to be reinforced by believers.

Somebody else I know feels the same....

The Money Plant

"He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth." Psalm 104:14

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I inhaled, but not one syllable in this headline makes me happy.

YOU DUMB SHITS>>

Fire your Economic Team.

Tax the Farmer.

Tax the Vendor.

Tax the happy fun loving, chilled out, hard working consumer.

And Legalize It.

Why doesn't this make sense?

"So there was much joy in that city." Acts 8:8

Despite dodging chunks. >>

Bursting With It

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." Isaiah 40:29

For the record ...

I don't want Laura Schlessinger to hang it up.

I think its brilliant Margaret Hoover called out Kim Kardashian.

I lean towards the belief that our President is indeed Muslim.

I will join in my Grandma's Sunday School promise to pray for Glenn Beck.

I wish we lived in a less sensitive and politically correct nation.

I stand behind my Rock, my Creator, my Deliver, my Beginning and End, and My Savior.

Slept until 12 today. I didn't mean to but it was nearly the first time it's rained this summer, taking the sweltering heat down to a mild steam and damn it to hell, I was dog tired.

I made my audition though, reading for a Southern Madam seducing a well educated, young girl gone astray into my enterprising fold.

Uh?

Who are these daytime televsion writers? And how can I be one?

On a side note but related to my LACK of consistent sleep.

My world and Reality TV collide. >>

This is precisely why I need to move off this street...

That and NYU Freshman are starting their trickle.

If a person is tolerant, do that have true convictions?
