Olympic ImmortalityPosted by Lorren on August 16, 2008
I’ve been watching the Olympics every day, and I’ve been enjoying watching Michael Phelps win golds and Nastia Luiken and Shawn Johnson fly through the air in gymnastics. I watch them with a little envy, wishing that I could swim that fast, or flip through the air (at all). I think about how [...]
Miracles and PridePosted by Lorren on August 15, 2008
I was reading Isaiah 37-39 today, which deals mainly with King Hezekiah.
Assyria had sent an Army to conduct a military assault on Israel. Their leader, the Rabshakeh, was mocking them and their God. “The gods of other countries didn’t keep me from overtaking them! And anyway, didn’t you just tear down your [...]
Praise Jesus! Son of Hamas Leader Gets Saved!!!Posted by Lorren on August 14, 2008
I was really excited to learn that Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the leaders in Hamas, got saved and chose to be a Christian. Fox news has a wonderful interview with him.
I get two things from this story. One, that anybody can be saved, and we shouldn’t dismiss somebody as [...]
Gold and Silver and Bronze…Posted by Lorren on August 13, 2008
I’ve been watching the Olympics because I like to see the United States win, and it gives me motivation to get some exercise. As I’ve been watching, I’ve been thinking about the participants and the spectators.
China is the largest country on the Earth, but they are also a very lost country. The Chinese [...]
HYC Check InPosted by Lorren on August 12, 2008
I thought that I was doing really well… I’ve been writing in my food log, exercising 30 minutes on most days, 60 minutes on a couple of days, and 90 minutes on Saturday… and I lost a couple of pounds, and then gained back 2 pounds in 2 days. It’s probably water or something, [...]
What You Trust InPosted by Lorren on August 11, 2008
I was pretty fortunate that I was born in the United States, rather than say… Ethiopia or Yemen or something. I was fortunate that someone told me about Jesus and I can afford to have a Bible… even enough Bibles that I can keep one in my backpack all the time, and another one [...]
Never Ever Ever Speak To Police Under Any Circumstances?Posted by Lorren on August 10, 2008
I found this link on the internet the other day… the lawyer says that he will not talk to the police under any circumstances. Ever.
While the video is somewhat informative and has some merit to it, I think that it goes overboard in saying that you should not talk to the police in any [...]
Too Cute!Posted by Lorren on August 9, 2008
I was watching the Olympics opening ceremonies last night, and they had the most adorable little boy marching next to the flagbearer for the Chinese. He was in the recent Chinese earthquake, and 20 out of his 30 classmates ended up dying.
He managed to get himself out of the rubble, and then went back [...]
Racists Root For Obama?Posted by Lorren on
I found this article on Excite.com to be interesting…
Evidently, some of those white supremacist groups are hoping that a Barak Obama win could potentially help their cause. Unfortunately, they might be right.
I suppose I’m in the minority, but I don’t consider Barak Obama to be black. Hello? He’s half white. Half [...]
Judgement Comes When We Don’t Follow GodPosted by Lorren on August 8, 2008
One theme that I’ve seen consistently in the Bible is that God wants us to love him with our whole hearts. Even Jesus said that the greatest commandment was to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. If you’ve read the [...]
