I'm back

Well, it only took one phone call and I'm back to the blogging world. It feels great. Some things I'm working on right now;

Caregroup study - Isaiah 44-45
Sunday School - The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares (Matthew 13:24-30 & 36-43)
Renovating my Daughter's (all three of them) room.
Partially renovating our upstairs bathroom

Did anyone hear about the outcome of California's vote regarding gay marriage? They voted to completely ban it. Apparently the Mormon church had a lot to do with the mobilization of voters. They are now facing some extreme prejudice. I wonder if the Christian church in BC would be willing to take such a stand and be such a voice knowing that she would suffer for it? In our current Christian culture of 'God wants me happy and fulfilled with what I want' I would dare say that she would not, for the sake of a few. This Sunday's focus for the church is on those who are being persecuted. I'm tempted to pick something that will cause some sparks just to see what others will think and/or do.

If you haven't seen the movie 'Expelled' yet, you need to rent it and see it! Ben Stein does a masterful job revealing the darker side of science academia. How do you think the "theory" of Evolution stands up to the "theory" of Intelligent Design? Watch this movie. I think it is even worth the cost of purchasing.

Hey, maybe that's the thing that I should pick to use for my persecution experiment.
