The Wisdom of Paris HiltonPosted by Lorren on August 7, 2008
I never thought that I’d ever say this, but Paris Hilton actually said something that made sense. I never thought I’d say this either, but maybe Barak Obama and John McCain should take some advice from her. In an ad made in response to John McCain putting her in one of his ads, [...]
Gluttony and Our HealthPosted by Lorren on August 6, 2008
There is one little sin that most churches in America won’t talk about, for fear of being driven out of town: gluttony.
A long time ago, gluttony was a bad thing. Of course, back then, food was really expensive, and the only people that could afford to be gluttons were very rich people and [...]
Little Boy BullyPosted by Lorren on
When my daughter was 2, I got a job at Kindercare. Most of the kids were really great, and my daughter generally had a good time. Except for a short period of time when she shared a classroom with a bully. A 2-year old bully.
We would feed the children breakfast every morning. [...]
The Honored Becoming FoolishPosted by Lorren on August 5, 2008
“Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment, and cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.
~ Ecclesiastes 10:1
I suppose this is as good a place as any to talk about it… the people that are honored in this country are acting downright foolish, and [...]
All Is Vanity…Posted by Lorren on
I was reading through Ecclesiastes 1-3, and I just have a few thoughts from that. This book was written by Solomon, the wisest man to have ever lived… but also someone who didn’t live using all the wisdom he had for much of his life.
What we have on this Earth is only temporary. [...]
Beware… lest you forgetPosted by Lorren on August 4, 2008
When the Israelites were entering the promised land, Moses warned them not to be foolish and get involved with the practices that the idolatrous nations in the land were. He told them that one day they would be prosperous… that they would have houses that they did not build, wells that they did not [...]
For All This Talk of “Green”, Why Do We Buy Junk?Posted by Lorren on
I’m not one of those people that believes the world is going to suddenly overheat or anything like that. It’s been the coldest year on record in some places… IMO, our planet goes through temperature fluctuations and it’s normal… less than 200 years ago, we were in the Little Ice Age! I don’t [...]
Elevating FoolsPosted by Lorren on August 3, 2008
Proverbs 26:8 says “Like one who binds a stone in a sling, is he who gives honor to a fool.” My Life Application Bible says that binding a stone in a sling causes the stone not to go anywhere and it will swing back and hurt you. So I guess that’s a bad [...]
“Put On A Sweater” – 21st Century StylePosted by Lorren on August 2, 2008
Barak Obama has a really good idea for saving you money at the gas pump… “put air in your tires and get regular tune-ups“.
Wow, I didn’t know he was so smart! Is that going to effectively bring my price per gallon of gas to $2 a gallon again? Gas is a little less [...]
Lessons in DeuteronomyPosted by Lorren on
I was reading Deuteronomy 1 and 2 and I came up with two thoughts:
1) In Deuteronomy 1, Moses is having trouble governing all the people. So they chose a bunch of people to be leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, and leaders of tens.
Don’t we have a similar government (ideally) in [...]
