Stimulus or Pillage?

by

Does anyone know where to get real information about mortgage assistance, etc, that the stimulus package is supposedly providing? Here’s the deal: I get about 10 calls a day telling me how they want to relieve my overly-big mortgage payment. 10 calls. 8-9 of those calls are scams (Michigan is getting hammered with stimulus scams), and the others seem like … Read more

When I Grow Up

by

We all have silly dreams about what we’d like to do. As a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. (And by kid, I mean last week…) Silly things like mortgages, food buying, and raising a family can often squelch our dreams. So what do you do with those unmet longings? Well, I’m not a soothsayer or anything, but I … Read more

Holodeck or Replicator?

Putting the crazy frog in this post is really an insult to him. But really, stop holding your mouse over this photo and read the crazy. It's totally worth it.A co-worker forwarded me this email she received. It’s long, but I assure you it’s worth the effort to read.

The Beautiful Son of the King!
So lovely is the work of the beautiful Son of the King, the precious manchild of Revelation Chapter Twelve. He is a delight to see; and His works are heavenly works; for from Heaven He comes and to Heaven, He will soon return, and straight to the throne of our Saviour He will go. He is now over thirty-two months old and growing stronger and more full of the power, the strength and the light and fire of our Saviour every day.

Marvelous things He does to dissolve the massive amounts of hard plastic, which are put into me via the ships of the U.S. military and through the hands of Satan and all of his hoards.
