I don’t know how many of you follow the thriller, 24, but this season seems to be a little better than the last. The last couple of episodes really have picked up the pace, and I’m excited to hear that Renee may eventually be getting back in the field.
Lila’s best friend is getting married—and she’s the maid of honor. She’s single, and has longed to find the perfect man, and has a revelation during the wedding ceremony that most couples want to forget as well—that marriage is for better or worse.
Parental rights are a mind field, and nothing points to it better than this. You see, i don’t know of many cases where we don’t see one party in a marriage (or cohabitating) break up as good for the child and the other as bad.
We always believe that we know best where kids should end up, and sometimes we seek to make the other parent out to be, well, Darth Vader. 1
No matter what the situation, we need to make sure that we take care of the kids and help them to understand that (in many cases) the other parent is not evil.
For all the cheering from the feminists about how science may yet prove that men are not necessary because women may be able to have children without the need for that pesky X chromosome, the truth is that it’s not the male gender that is in danger—but the female.
Auto Tune—it’s a procedure that can be run to make sure that vocalists stay on pitch. What’s fun is when it’s applied to other people. Like kids.
Well, see for yourself:
We need to make sure that our speech is that which will build up. That’s exceedingly difficult in our current culture. What we say we believe is no longer a personal belief about a action, but it’s a statement that directly applies to people, and people take personally.
I am against same-sex marriage. I’m against homosexuality.
One doesn’t participate in the Miss USA pageant because they’re timid, modest and reserved. They may get in it for the college money, for the recognition of their beauty, or because they have a competitive spirit.
The problem with seeking fame is that always comes with a cost.
In Galatians, the Bible talks about how leaders will be held to a higher standard, and we see how that plays out in the life of Carrie Prejean, for she ended up being a leader in a different way than she originally had planned.
It was not easy to be a Christian after Christ left the Earth. A quick read through Fox’s Book of Martyrs
In America, we know nothing of the cost to our lives like they did in that time. There are times where it approaches that kind of actions, but for the most part our society is tolerant of diverse opinions.
However, very important in our culture is reputation, who people think you are and how well known you are. People spend a lot of time working and building their reputations and self-identity. The sacrifice to be a Christian in the American culture is a sacrifice of that reputation—because it may be that people will look at you differently when they find out what you believe.
