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

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.
A man known in the cyber world as The Internet Monk, has died. Michael Spencer lost his battle with cancer tonight.

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

Hmm… sounds like deceptive advertising to me.
Reminds me of a popular method of street evangelism I’ve heard tell of. You approach people in public and ask if they will participate in a survey you are taking. But really you’re not collecting survey data at all. The questions in the cleverly arranged “survey” start off very general, then move into questions about religion, and finally lead the respondant to an invitation to recieve Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior.
Is the gospel of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ so weak & powerless that we must resort to deliberate deception in order to “get our foot in the door” to gain an audience for the life changing message of salvation by grace alone, throug faith alone, because of Christ alone?
I, for one, don’t believe that the truth of our message relieves us from the ethical obligation of being circumspect and upright (yes, even truthful) in our presentation of the gospel.

This is hilarious – I take it Gaddafi is tired of his own wives or mistresses. (Seriously, I don’t about his personal life, but this is ridiculous.)

My guess is that this is some kind of internal propaganda for Libya.

I agree with Alicia…this is hilarious. Gaddafi is really desperate for women! He only got 200 and he wanted 500…that says something….many women weren’t anxious to spend an afternoon with an old dude in robes, and were smart enough to ignore the ad. He not only wanted “attractive” women, he specified height and required clothing. No thanks.

I think it is also unbelievable that anyone would agree to “party” with a man who is not only a dictator but a lunatic. Don’t care how much money or presents were offered. Then again, I’m 54, 5 ft 3 inches, and moderately attractive, so I would never make a good “trophy wife.”

All I know is, if I lived in New Jersey and I thought my daughters might be reading an ad about a man in green robes throwing a tea in Hoboken…

I understand that although none of the women converted, 25 did buy time-share condos in Tripoli.
