It Takes Two
It was High School. Eleventh Grade. I was in Social Studies class and the teacher, a younger guy who was still full of energy and wanting to teach, decided that it would be interesting to get a class debate together decided on the topic of abortion.
Abortion is a weird topic for teens, because many are just becoming aware of the changes in their body, and our culture is in the process of completely rejecting the traditional Christian moral framework—and wants to let everyone believe that being sexually active is a right.

If At First You Don’t Succeed…
Sharron Angle came close to winning the Nevada Senate race, and she’s decided not to let that loss stop her:
The high-profile race helped to make her a tea party leader and in her concession speech, she indicated she likely would pursue office again. Recently, she has traveled to Republican rallies in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and kept followers abreast of her whereabouts through her Twitter account. [Sharron Angle jumps into Nevada Congressional race – Yahoo News]
So, that should be interesting, and a relatively easy win since she was close to winning the entire state. It will also give her a legislative record, which could be a good thing if she chose to run for Senate again. I wouldn’t mind seeing a rematch in 2014!
Radiation Found on NBC News Reporter
It was only a matter of time:
Yesterday we reported that TV news crews were on the move due to fears of radiation exposure. Today we saw the first example of why those moves were made.
On “Today” this morning, NBC News anchor Lester Holt revealed that he and his crew tested positive for small traces of radiation after returning to his hotel from spending time in the field. [Radiation Found on NBC News Crew, Lester Holt]

Prepping for Graduate Programs
In today’s society, many people have a college degree, to the point that having one isn’t the differentiator it once was. Many colleges are finding that high school has not prepared students for college courses, and there are more remedial programs to catch students up to the point that they could be taught at the higher level.
That’s why it’s important, now more than ever, to have good grades and do all the prep you can to get into the better colleges. The best colleges will be even more selective than before, because there will be competition to get the bigger name degrees. That’s why taking a gmat prep course may be just the thing to help you get where you need to go in your education.

3 Weak Arguments Not To Use To Support the KJV
The King James Version is a majestic translation of the Bible—one that has spanned hundreds of years and still finds many faithful readers today. The reasons for that are multiple:
- The prose’s age and grandeur gives the KJV a majestic feel.
- The scholarship was great such that very few changes have been needed over the years.
- Many have grown up memorizing portions of Scripture from the KJV, and that makes other translations sound strange.
Given all of these positive things, many that attempt to defend it as the only translation that is the Word of God resort to all sorts of arguments to either tear down other translations or build up the KJV. Among them are some weak arguments—arguments I suggest KJV proponents avoid because they don’t help their cause.

Great Glasses, Great Service
The other day, while my wife was getting ready for church, she put her contacts in and remarked about how different she looks with them on instead of wearing her glasses. It’s true, glasses do make a difference on how your face is framed and they do add to the perception people around you have of you.

Earthquakes in Divers Places
I don’t know if there has ever been an earthquake where the people of God didn’t have this passage of the Bible running through their minds:
Matthew 24:7 – For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
