Return to Sender

So my wife was reading the blog and she was catching up on the petition. Now, mind you, she agrees with me that someone who says, "God told me" and then it turns out that God didn't tell him, in her words, "disgraces Jesus Christ", OK?

But she read the reasons why post, and then the petition, and she turned to me and said, "So are we going to move? Do I have to get an unlisted number? Is it slander to call him a 'fraud'? Can he sue us?"

However, she did enjoy John's comments, and she made a prediction that he'll be blogging inside 6 months -- but God didn't tell her that. She knows our mother.

The other thing tonight is that I really appreciate William Chad Newsom's signature on our petition, which was made with this comment:

As an elder at Ebenezer Lutheran Church (LCMS), in Greensboro, NC, I support the intent and content of this petition, and would urge all Christians to read and sign it, for the sake of the Gospel, the glory of God, and the purity of His Church.

That's practically a ringing endorsement. Who knew Lutherans and Baptists could agree on anything.

Tell your friends, Mr. Newsom. If we get 1000 signers, I'm sending it to CBN. And maybe FOX news.

One other thing today

OK: BloggerBeta? Hot stuff -- but is says my CSS/HTML for the template is busted.

That's the exact word it used: busted.

How do I take a look at this thing in a neutral HTML editor to iron out the busted kinks?

The Power of Blogger

I ran into this series today, and it demonstrates two things for me.

[1] I must upgrade to the Blogger Beta. Immediately.

[2] The SBC is in for some serious discussions the next time it comes together. This series of posts from this young seminary instructor really deals with all the hollow, self-righteous rhetoric coming out of the "resurgent" generation. It's on the money and worth you time to read.

Nice to meet you, Nathan.

HT: Timmy Brister and Tom Ascol.

Branded

My wife has branded this blog esoteric, and she thinks all of you are spending way too much time reading and blogging when there is obviously work to be done -- for ministry or for a pay check. Get back to work.

You can see why she is made of bronze and has a cloud of energy surrounding her. She's fierce.

Liquid Husband

Since my wife will not blog, let me blog this conversation we had this weekend.

Saturday morning we were cleaning the house and cutting the lawn (you can imagine who was "we" in those tasks), and when I can inside from pushing the lawnmower around, I heard the coffee pot doing its thing. Now, keep in mind that it's like 95 in the shade outside and the A/C in the house is struggling to keep the temp at 72.

"Having a cup of coffee?" I ask as I pour a glass of water for myself over ice.

"Ugh," she says. "I have a headache, and I tried a Coke but it did't work. It doesn't give me that feeling of warmth and comfort and security that coffee does."

Hmph, I thought. And I didn't get to finish my thought.

"It's kinda like liquid husband," she said, "except that it can't cut the lawn."
