Why Do Honorable Veterans Have To Pay Back Bonuses?Posted by Lorren on November 23, 2007
Recent news reports have been talking about how Iraq veterans were being asked to pay back enlistment bonuses after being forced out of the military due to injuries. Officials in the Pentagon have said that they will resolve this issue, but the fact that this problem has come up really didn’t surprise me too [...]
The Real Reason Behind September 11thPosted by Lorren on November 18, 2007
I alluded to this in a comment I made in an earlier post, so before I forget about it, I’d like to write about it.
While listening to Chuck Colson speak in a Focus on the Family broadcast earlier this month, he brought up some points about September 11th. I thought I remembered hearing this [...]
Revelation 18:13 – Cloning, slavery, or both?Posted by Lorren on November 16, 2007
While watching the O’Reilly Factor tonight, I was stunned when someone referred to cloned embryos as a “commodity”. Not that embryos were referred to in such a fashion, but it reminded me of a verse in Revelation (in a lament about the things that Babylon had sold after it had fallen):

Pat Robertson Endorses GuilianiPosted by Lorren on November 8, 2007
I’m really underwhelmed by the first-tier candidates this election. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton? I’ll be praying for enough money to move to Australia if that happens. Barak Obama?

The Westboro Baptist Church, run by the Phelps family and owners of vile web sites such as “Godhatesf&$s.com”, recently lost a lawsuit for $11 Million for picketing a funeral.
Now, I really can’t stand the Phelps family. I feel sorry for their kids, who know that they hate “fags”, yet don’t even know the meaning [...]
In The Internet Age, Play NicePosted by Lorren on November 2, 2007
Most of us alive and able to read blogs remember a time when the internet was not so prevalent. That soon will not be the case, considering that I’ve had an email address now for over 13 years, but 13 years ago, you didn’t see www plastered on every print ad and not everyone [...]
Halloween and the Entitlement CulturePosted by Lorren on November 1, 2007
Today being Halloween (although, almost over), my mind started wandering to the whole premise of trick or treat, and I started wondering if it’s popularity is somehow related to the whole society of entitlement that we seem to have nowadays.
We don’t really do Halloween in our family. My daughter watches all the popular children’s [...]
