Another year older and wiser. I thank God for His blessing to a sinful and undeserving man.
That blessing includes (but is not limited to)
(or why teach your children Church History)
Psalm 78 1:7
1 A Contemplation of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, 3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. 5 For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; 6 That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, 7 That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments; 8 And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
emphasis mine
There is real tangible benefits to us and to our children when we take the time to teach them the glorious providence of God and the mercy he has shown to his people in times past.
A good friend of mine (thanks Darnell) sent me a link to the following video.
Methinks there's a lot of truth in them jokes!
Yeah that's about it.
Mr. "Are you ready to change the way you live?" or should I say Mr. "I use 20 times more carbon based energy that the average american"
Yesterday Sen. Daniel Inhofe (one of my new heroes) put an interesting question to Al "Oscar Winner" Gore. He asked him to be consistent with his rhetoric.
Of course Gore refused.
What was it that he asked Mr. "the world is melting"...I mean Gore to do? He asked him to take the following pledge.

Keeping Pace
Help me figure this one out.
Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, characterizes homosexual activity as "immoral" and akin to adultery, and he is rebuked by career politicians like Sen. John Warner, R-Va. He is blasted by the usual array of homosexual pressure groups. He is forced to clarify statements that seemed to me to be unambiguous and (How do I put this delicately?) self-evident.

aseity
I love to read, so I am always delighted when I can learn a new word. I was reading a post on Doug Wilson's blog critiquing Richard Dawkins new book "The God Delusion" and I came across the word aseity.
Not being a philosophy major I have never encountered that word before. It's a good word. It's slight - doesn't waste a lot of syllables - kinda gets right to the point.
aseity - what does it mean? Click HERE to read the definitions on the google search I ran but basically its a philosphy term to describe the fact that God is self derived and not derivative.
He exsists on his own with out having been created.
See you just learned something too....Right?
