Obama, Xerxes, and the AtheniansPosted by Lorren on April 25, 2012
The struggle that the ancient Greeks faced against the Persians reminds me of the struggle that we’re facing against the enemies of freedom. Do we have the heart of the Athenians and of the Spartans? Or do we value goodies and protection more, like serfs of the Middle Ages, or those city states that welcomed the Persians?
Life is Like SurvivorPosted by Lorren on May 16, 2011
Life is like Survivor. Our real personalities do shine through in the end. Although I am a writer that occasionally gets to meet someone that’s pretty cool, I choose not to be a gossip columnist.
Government OppositionPosted by Lorren on April 9, 2011
I’m finding myself not supporting the government in some of its recent actions.
A Terrible Excuse for “Church”Posted by Lorren on April 23, 2010
A church in Detroit held a car test-drive event. Does Jesus turning over the money changer’s tables ring a bell?
And We Think We’re Good People…Posted by Lorren on July 17, 2008
I was just reading my Bible this evening, and I ran across this verse:
The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
~Psalm 37:21
Most of us like to think that we’re pretty good people. But I bet if we compared ourselves to our great-grandparents, we’d be very ashamed.
Our country likes [...]
Family Friendly TV During Family Hour? Maybe…Posted by Lorren on September 22, 2007
I was watching the previews for a new CBS television show called Kid Nation, where a bunch of children end up stuck out in the middle of nowhere by themselves. From the initial description it sounds a lot like Lord of the Flies… but then the previews went on some more and it seemed [...]
Infant Shot Execution Style In Armed RobberyPosted by Lorren on September 18, 2007
Here’s one for the sick-and-twisted-morality file: a man and his infant son were shot dead during an armed robbery.
Police believe that the baby’s father drove to his friend’s house, left the baby in the car, and ended up running into the robbers instead. The robbers shot him, and on their way out, they decided [...]
Newborns in Trash Cans And Toilets… Why Are We Outraged?Posted by Lorren on August 31, 2007
I just read another story about a baby giving birth to a newborn and trying to kill it. This lady tried to flush her baby down the toilet at a McDonald’s restaurant.
You can find the story here.
I find stories like this to be really sad. If she didn’t want the baby, why didn’t [...]
To Catch An IdiotPosted by Lorren on July 26, 2007
Me and my husband usually catch the “To Catch A Predator” episodes on Dateline NBC. They might as well be subtitled “To Catch An Idiot.” Because most of them are.
For anybody that hasn’t seen it, pedophiles contact people posing to be minors on the internet and have graphic chats with them about sexual [...]
I Feel Bad For Lindsey LohanPosted by Lorren on July 25, 2007
As most people know, Lindsey Lohan, who just turned 21, was recently arrested for drunk driving… AGAIN. Plus, the genius had cocaine in her pocket (what was she thinking after getting out of rehab 10 days ago?).
Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own actions. However, her family didn’t do much to help [...]
