Notice God's unutterable waste of saints, according to the judgment of the world. God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say - God intends me to be here because I am so useful. Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judges at all of where that is. ~Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest, August 10

Blog o' the week

If I hear one more person say how "nice" and "likeable" Obama is I'm going lose my cool. It's a shame that nice does not equal moral and kindness does not necessarily mean someone is ethical.

Put on your C.S. Lewis lenses: "Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness." (The Problem of Pain)


Here in top ten format are the reasons Obama says he voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

For those that don't know what the BAIPA is, read last week's Blog o' the week.

How did Obama get to be the focus of my blog two weeks in a row? You've got to be either really good or really bad to do that!

And just in case after reading and watching these things you still think he's so "nice" here is a video clip of Obama saying that the American people are basically good, but that they just sometimes listen to the wrong talk radio and watch the wrong TV networks. They are basically decent, they just need a leader who can reframe the issues for them.

How "nice"! It's a good thing he is smarter than I am. I needed someone to tell me what to believe.

Off the political soapbox and back to more pleasant blogging....

Ya know, just seeing that fellow in front of a Planned Parenthood banner means he's got my vote.

Not.

His rationale is a little faulty... along the lines of, well, if they're having sex anyway they should have accurate information. What does he mean by accurate, scientific information?

Sex is fun?
10% of all people are gay?
Here's how you put on a condom?
We should accept all lifestyle choices?

I think some of the info out there on Obama being an extreme Muslim is unfair, but there needs to be direct and accurate criticism of him and Hillary Clinton. A Clinton/Obama ticket would not surprise me in the least. Ugh.

Daja, you haven't been listening to those "wrong" shows, have you?? Shame.
