Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter was ambushed by Chris Matthews and Elizabeth Edwards the other night, and of course all the liberal media is piling on, talking about how nasty and mean and outrageous Coulter is, yadda yadda yadda. Poor Eliz…
Do you ever go through phases, long or short, where you feel disillusioned with God or with Christianity and want to get away? What brings you out of it?
The case of the $54 million pants....

This case is the epitome of frivolous lawsuits and stupid litigants. Have you heard about this? This man sued a dry cleaner for $67 million because they lost his pants he had sent. They found them 2 days later, and he re…
So my mom bought me this filing system...

It's been sitting on my shelf for a few months, but yesterday I decided to pull it out and try to get rid of some of these boxes of papers. So yesterday I sorted all the papers into the four general categories the system…
Time doesn't completely heal all wounds...

I sometimes run into a former friend on the bus, and she almost never does more than nod at me or wave a little. She rarely says anything to me. And it makes me mad. I don't have a problem with her. And I'm almost positi…
Have you seen this show "Confessions of a Matchmaker" on A&E? I happen to be watching it now, for no other reason than I haven't changed the channel, and I resent something in particular the matchmaker is telling the…
They found Jessie Davis....

They found what they believe is her body this afternoon. How sad for her family and her community. And they've arrested her boyfriend and charged him with 2 counts of murder - one for her and one for her unborn daughter.…
I came across this article just now. This is completely insane to me. I don't know if this conversation really took place or not, but I kind of wouldn't be surprised if it did. The government, and in particular, Congress…
Guess who I found!

I found my youth pastor from high school :) He left for seminary with his family while I was in college, and he's come a long way since then! He's now the senior pastor at a church in another part of the state. I'm very …
The Sin of Presumption

Our speaker in church today made a very interesting point about this. He defined the sin of presumption as feeling or thinking that you're ok with God, God is on your side, based on something you did or have or are, and …
Courting vs dating

This is another of those non-essential things that Christians argue about and judge each other over, with some in the courtship camp lording it over other parents or over their peers that they are somehow more spiritual …
Quick rant

Why do I have too many friends who talk and talk and talk about themselves but don't really seem interested in anything I have to say? A conversation goes 2 ways - I say something, you say something. You talk about yours…
What is essential?

I love Xanga, particularly those of you that comment on my blog. You all are just a constant source of new blog material, lol. Thanks! In the last post, I talked about debating non-essential points of doctrine, which led…
As iron sharpens iron....

The word nit-picking was mentioned in a comment on my last post. A lot of people don't want to get too involved in all this doctrinal doo-doo, thinking we just need to believe the Bible or that theology is for pastors a…
Theology in Music

Do you ever analyze the lyrics in music for theological content? Granted it's easier in some genres than others, but surprise surprise, not very many of the ideas about God found in music are biblical. Let's start with G…
Too many black sheep in the family, Too many stones from a house of glass.They've heard the stories, they've heard the lines, But talk is too cheap to change their minds. They want to see some vital signs Convictions, in…
Names

Do people misspell or mispronounce your name? Call you by the wrong name all together? Do you hate that? I do. My name is Laurel. Like the canyon (if you're familiar with Los Angeles), like Laurel & Hardy. Rhymes wit…
A Woman's QuestionDo you know you have asked for the costliest thing Ever made by the hand above? A woman's heart, and a woman's life, And a woman's wonderful love. Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing As …

Medical exception...

I'm a little late jumping on this subject, but the Supreme Court ruled a few weeks ago that a ban on partial birth abortion is not unconstitutional. Yay for them! Partial-birth abortion is a horrific, cruel procedure and…
The price of being stupid

Sometimes my job is beyond entertaining, I must say.So this employer calls today, saying they've made 2 payments for this man who has never worked for them and now they want their money back. This made us all laugh, but …
