Christianty a la carte

The only thing more fun than people watching while eating a dog and Coke at Costco ($1.60!) is eavesdropping while you’re eating a dog and Coke at Costco.  (Did I mention it’s only $1.60?)
Yesterday conversation was amusing.  It was between a few women and lanky fellow with thick glasses and an overbite.  The topic: Church. [...]

Jesus is coming back…and boy is he ticked!

I often ponder this thing called freedom.  Our right to own guns can get swallowed [...]

What are you doing here?

We visited the Outer Limits yesterday.  At least it was for us….we visited a large church.  We thought we’d go check some things out and look for other homeschoolers and perhaps service opportunities to the poor.
Now keep in mind our frame of reference…the largest church we were ever a part of never broke the 200 [...]
