Abortion is apparantly "a moral good"

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Some bloggers make me so mad I want to spit nails. Some women make me so mad I usually let a few 4 letter words fly (only in my head, of course). So what happens when it’s a woman blogger who makes me mad?
Don’t ask.
I can’t believe that there are people out there like Amanda [...]

I Am the Wretch the Song Refers To

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Amazing Grace opened on Friday, so of course I dragged my roommates along to see it that night.
I’m so glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the audience – and their reaction at the end.
The story focuses on William Wilberforce’s tireless effort to end the slave trade in England.
It’s not an [...]

A Very Special Graduation

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Rebecca Simpson’s greatest dream was to graduate high school. After struggling with leukemia for nearly 4 years, doctors told the high school senior that she had weeks, or days, to live. So her high school, North Raleigh Christian Academy, held a special graduation ceremony for her on Friday, February 23rd.
Rebecca passed away that night.

Template

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I think it’s time for a new template. I’ve had this one for a good 8 months or so, and as much as I love it, I want something fresh and new. Something to go along with this new season of freshness I feel with God.
I really don’t want to go with a standard Blogger [...]

Worth Dying For

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I finished the book. I won’t try and dissect it all in one post – Bell covers way too many topics. This post is about one particular section that really spoke to me – enough so that it brought tears to my eyes when I read it. I swear, he wrote this particular passage specifically [...]

Biblical Role of Women in Ministry

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Scot McKnight has written an interesting post on how biblical our churches are in determining what a woman can and can’t do.
The comments are even more interesting.

What is Love?

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

I’m reading Rob Bell’s new book Sex God and it’s incredible. But I’ll write a post about it when I’m finished with it. I came across a section that I couldn’t wait to share though, so here’s a sample:
Love is handing your heart to someone and taking the risk that they will hand it back [...]

A World Without America

World’s Smallest Baby

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

This is an amazing story. Little Amillia was barely bigger than a ballpoint pen when she was born at 9.5 inches long and only 10 ounces!

Mom lied about how far along she was in order to get the docs to work to save the baby.
The medical standard is not even to resuscitate a 22-week baby, [...]

Hooray for Legalism!

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Read some open letters to Legalism:
Dear Legalism,Thank you for making my life easier. Boy, do I owe you one. Had I never met you, I would have been forced to thoughtfully engage people and their opinions and beliefs at every turn. But after reading your book, How to Think and What to Say You Believe, [...]
