Churches and Tax Exemption

Oct 30, 2008 Posted Under: Christian, God, opinion, politics

One thing that I have noticed with those that oppose Christianity is their using campaign rules to silence churches.  Anytime a Bible believing church speaks about political issues and political candidates, the liberals begin to tout that churches should not be allowed to endorse a candidate since they are tax exempt.  They like to point [...]

Yesterday I uploaded all 300+ photos that my son and I took when we were in San Antonio.  I noticed that I have many sets that were duplicates so I began to use the collections feature Flickr has to offer.  I had several sets about San Antonio so I created a collection called “Trips” that [...]

As a Sooner fan I have pointed out this embarrassing behavior many times to people and they never seem to see it.  The Sooner fans that somehow seem to make it on national television often tend to be the Jethro Bodine types that make our state look like we are all uneducated.  This photo illustrates [...]

Be Optimistic

Oct 13, 2008 Posted Under: Christian, opinion, politics

As much as it pains me to even think of Obama winning as President, I think it will take some arguments off the table in the future.  I am pretty confident he will win and that makes me sick to my stomach but in this happening it will help to squash this notion that we [...]

Personality Test

Internet Update

Oct 12, 2008 Posted Under: Internet, Personal, Technology

You may remember me posting earlier about my Internet giving me a hard time. I was fed up with the never ending going off line despite paying for AT&T’s elite DSL that was supposed to give us the fasted speed.  I was really losing my patience with losing web access while all my other Internet [...]
