From the desk of “Why is this news”, the AP is reporting that the White House has told President-Elect Obama that they cannot move into the Blair House (a guest house across the street from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) before January 15—the traditional date for President-Elects to move to Washington.

One of the characteristics of Tribulation period foretold in the books of Revelation and Daniel is that of a global government. Most scholars believe that this will center on the European Continent and many thought that the European Union would be the vehicle to accomplish this.
However, watching the European Union try to form, and the hurdles that have had to be overcome where nations have had to try to subvert the will of their people, I’m beginning to believe that it will take the Rapture of the church in order to fully allow for a global government.
Many laws that were passed some time ago are now under scrutiny as relics of a bygone era—a time when people agreed on moral principles that are now up for grabs. Laws that enforced clean language, the sale of liquor and protected a spouse from adultery have all been challenged, and when a story of one of these laws being enforced makes news, it’s always in terms of how crazy the people are that still these laws, and how these laws need to be overturned.
Time. It seems immutable. We’re all clock watchers when we’re bored, and we all wonder where it went when we’re doing something we like.
Time is the way that we know when to meet and where to be. It keeps track of how long we’ve been on this earth, and it’s used to figure out how much we should be paid.
At my previous employer, every day before a holiday we were able to go home from work at roughly 3:00 pm. At first I thought it was just a fluke—and then I realized that it was a standard rule.
When I started with my current employer on November 17, I didn’t know if this would be something that would happen there as well—and so you can imagine that I was pleasantly surprised when, at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, my boss came in and said that I could come home early. He also said that while he worked of IBM they would actually play holiday music around the building to let the people know that it was time to go.
It was then that I realized that it wasn’t only my former employer that tried to be nice.
The other day we were sitting around the table and I said that I hated a certain thing—and there were gasps heard from my children. “You’re not supposed to hate,” they told me. I quickly explained that while it’s not okay to hate a person, it is fine to hate something.
The problem with our culture, however, is that we are much like my children in understanding the difference between hating a thing or an action versus hating a person.
Well, any time is really a great time to be pregnant, but winter especially so. Why? Because the baby helps to keep you warm!
But seriously, we live in a great time for mom’s and babies in the sense that there are many things out there to help a mom through a pregnancy. Whereas before, dad couldn’t even be in the delivery room, now dad is supposed to be there at every step.
And when it comes to clothing, having a baby bump is an “in-thing” with many companies vying to help you look the part of the glowing mom.
What does The Last Battle of the Chronicles of Narnia and Global Warming have in common?
The past few months I’ve been reading to my boys the Chronicles of Narnia—starting with the first book around the time Prince Caspian came out in the theaters and today we’re on chapter 10 of The Last Battle.
