praying for an atheist

There seems to be a debate among some as to whether to pray for Christopher Hitchens, an avowed atheist, who has cancer, has written against Christianity, yet is politically conservative. There are some who say no, we should not. That appears to be a minority view. Jesus made it clear that we should pray for our neighbors which would include even our enemies. What is interesting about this is that his brother has returned to the church of England and has written a defense of Christianity.

I would like you to consider praying for Mr. Hitchens that he will recover, and that his heart and mind would be opened to the good news of Jesus Christ.

reading laws

Have you wondered why our law makers have problems reading laws they supposedly wrote? Or laws others have written? Yet they can "tell" us what is in them. And people wonder why we are so cynical.

question

Something to think about:

If the Palestinians laid down their weapons, what would happen?


If the Israelis laid down their weapons, what would happen?

of birthdays and holidays

Today, April 1st, is my wife's birthday. She is happy, sort of - having a difficulty growing older. It is also a holiday, something she isn't happy about. It is National Atheists Day. Well, maybe it isn't a holiday. So what to do about it?

Moody Publishers are having a pray for an atheist idea. And why not! We are to love our neighbors and love our enemies. Not that all atheists are enemies. Maybe you know someone who doesn't believe in God, or is an agnostic. Pray for them. Makes Biblical sense to me.

A great article

Dennis Prager has written an article that should be required reading for everyone. "On Jews and Christians who embrace the left" can be found at his site as well as Jewish World Review, and Town Hall.com It was published on 3/30/2010.

human rights commissions

Why do cities and states have human rights commissions? I think I'm missing something. Could it be the politically correct, multicultural ideas so dominant in liberal circles? Davenport, Iowa has one. It decided that Good Friday should be changed to Spring Holiday so as NOT to offend non-Christians. Wow! Certainly cannot have that. But the citizens of Davenport have risen up, those heathens. They have emailed, called, and protested the change. The city counsel has rejected the Commission's suggestion because it wasn't done through the proper channels. What's the matter with those politicians in Davenport? They should have just accepted the multicultural suggestion.

I have a suggestion. Let's get right of both the Commission and the politicians who suggested such.

As Fred Thompson says, Why do they call it common sense when it is so uncommon.

quote without comment

From Dan Smith on Berean Spirit,

Now, let me get this straight...We're trying to pass a health care plan: written by a committee whose chairman saays he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress tht hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who also hasn't read it (and who smokes), with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, with all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and the whole thing to be financed by a country that's broke.

What could possibly go wrong????
