So, even with the economy the way it is, consumer season is just around the corner. I’m always late at addressing this, and then tend to be hesitant to rain on people’s parade. Therefore, I’m trying to get an early start on addressing the consumerism’s bit. Here’s to great videos to start us off. Advent Conspiracy is a great initiative to encourage churches to spend t

Well, this week, LaTroy Hawkins succumbed to pressure from New York Yankees fans who felt No. 21 still belonged to Paul O'Neill and switched to No. 22 when the team began a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.I know O'Neill was a great player for the Yankees, showed a lot of fire, and was the man, but is all this ruckus necessary? Is he indeed a Yankee legend? I know he was good -- but should be worthy of not having his number worn ever by someone else?Honestly, if people feel that strongly -- just have the Yankees retire it."What can I say? The fans have always been unbelievable to me there," O'Neill said in a telephone interview from his home in Ohio. "I don't really know how to explain it. It makes you feel good that the fans still think of you as wearing that

Priest has no problem worshipping God and ElvisTue Oct 16, 9:47 AM ETSORBO, Italy (Reuters) - Romanian-born Antonio Petrescu believes you can worship God and Elvis at the same time: as a Catholic priest and Elvis Presley impersonator, he finds his spiritual inspiration in the late rock legend. "People ask me 'How can you reconcile Elvis impersonations with your choice of professional work?'" said Petrescu, who puts on his glittery suits and swivels his hips when not working as a parish priest in the Italian town of Avezzano.Interviewed by Reuters on a church visit to the tiny town of Sorbo -- population, 52 -- in southern Italy, the priest said he believes Elvis is an appropriate inspiration for Christian worship because he sang of "love in general."The 34-year-old's Web site (www.antoniupetrescu.com) has two separate entries -- one for the priest, another for the artist, which talks about his "fiery voice" and discography including the singles "Lovin' Arms" and "Reach out to Jesu

We often think of idols as graven images of humans or animals fashioned by machines or human hands and which people worship. Yet, here’s another definition of idols that I was just mulling over. You see, in a broader sense, idols can be anything in our lives that takes us away from serving God with all our minds, our hearts and our souls. (more…)

I’m angry. I guess I can admit that. I’m angry that people try to be political instead of devoted to God. I understand that some things are spiritual and some things are business, but it’s all God’s spirit and it’s all God’s business. When we lose sight of that, confusion and misunderstandings occur. We all become fixed on our own agendas, afraid we’ll lose ground if we stop fighting. We stop listening to one another, start listening to our own needs, and stop looking to God for direction. What’s worse is sometimes we decide God wants exactly what we want, and we forget to ask for His opinion. We forget we may all be wearing our own shoes, but we’re walking on common ground - God’s ground. Father God, in the midst of conflict, may we always remember who we serve and whose we are, and may we have the strength to let go of our anger and be Your children. Amen.

Hi, I'm Joshua. Usually I'm a pretty good kid but, like many Christian home schooled kids, I sometimes feel the need to rebel. Which is why one time I took drugs with a bunch of devil worshipping gay bikers. Most of you probably don't understand the world as much as I do, so I thought I'd tell you a little about what it's really like to take drugs.Blog Search Links: Blogdigger Bloglines Blogpulse Feedster Icerocket Technorati
