One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.
Through it, I have seen people reach out

a mistake that the current Republican governor isn’t going to repeat).
He told them that if they don’t get out, they are on their own. Nice.
doesn’t even mention the mayor or governor (Democrats, of course) who failed to do their job
She’s out of a job.
the guy lacks basic human compassion.
Moore says in the clip that he hopes no one gets hurt.

And McCain and Bush eating birthday cake on the day Katrina hit shows they lack compassion. Michelle, do you ever watch the whole clip?

Do you have some evidence of anyone — Democrat or not — trying to organize prayers for bad weather for the Republican convention as Dobson’s group did for the Democrats? Dobson said he was kidding, so perhaps you will grant the same to Moore, who at least is better known for his humor than for his piety?
Your rigid partisanship, insistence on assuming the worst intentions on the part of anyone who does not label themselves a conservative Christian, and mean-spirited sniping says so much more about you than it does about the people you are trying to attack. I am sure that people who know you see your comments as light-hearted wisecracks from someone whose actions are evidence of kindness and generosity, but here online, where your blog posts are all there is to go on, I don’t think you realize how frequently you come across as mean-spirited and bitter.
It was a nice change of pace to see your unbridled enthusiasm for Governor Palin and I do hope she lives up to all you are looking for from her.

“The view that such events are caused by God is a matter of opinion—faith if you will–and are not capable of proof. Every man must decide for himself whether or not Hurricane Katrina brought the wrath of God down on New Orleans.”
–Michael Heath, leader of the Christian Civic League of Maine, suggesting that the hurricane was God’s wrath on gays in New Orleans. (9/7/05)
“Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city. From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence,’ New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same.” — Repent America director Michael Marcavage on the organization’s Web site.
93% of visitors to http://tinyurl.com/katrina-pushishes-gays voted that Katrina was a punishment by god against New Orleans for sin
On September 18, 2006, Pastor John Hagee — whose endorsement Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said this past Sunday he was “glad to have” — told NPR’s Terry Gross that “Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.” “New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God,” Hagee said, because “there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came.” [note, this is FALSE] Hagee later said “The topic of that day was cursing and blessing. … What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God, in time if New Orleans recovers and becomes the pristine city it can become it may in time be called a blessing. But at this time it’s called a curse.” [http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/23/hagee-katrina-mccain/]
Sadly, a lot of false christians are actually tools of satan, promoting hatred against gay people and others. They should be called out and denounced whenever they are seen for what they are… minions of the Beast.

Have you looked at the weather map? Gustav is not the only storm heading for the South. There is a storm that will hit Florida and Georgia on Monday or Tuesday and a tropical depression that will hit Texas no later than Tuesday night.
And don’t forget that 100 mile an hour winds hit McCain’s home town yesterday with thundershowers that continue even today. If I was the kind of religious nut who prayed to God to bring rain upon the Democrats last week, I’d be heading for the hills right about now.
Be careful for what you pray for, God may be listening to your heart rather than to your words. It is going to be a wet week in the southlands, better get out your water wings.

You’re right. They should never have had that cake. Evil S.O.B.’s. How could they eat… cake!?!?

Bush and McCain-They were partying together as New Orleans drowned, three years ago.
And they made not the slightest sign that they cared in the least.
And now it could happen again. I think , in a way, that God is talking to us here. He’s saying we let this happen last time, due to the failure to keep the levees in good repair. And most of the areas that have not recovered were the poorest.
How much does the Bible talk about how we’re supposed to treat the least among us?
And now the Republicans are frantic. This is about to happen again, and right during their convention.
And most people know that the right wing has been ascribing Katrina to the wrath of God .Many people know that prayers have been called for that the Democratic convention would be disrupted by bad weather.
But – What if the finger of God is pointing at a different group? What if God is about to draw unmistakable attention to that failure , right during the time when the national limelight is turned on them?

The real story here is that Michael Moore believes in God.
I’d like Moore to be asked in a genuine interview to describe this God he says is in heaven: His power, His position and, as Creator, what Moore owes Him.
