Welcome to my blog, where I intend to discuss, life, the universe, and everything (to borrow a line from a favorite author!). I guess this could be considered a test post, since I've never done this before... so, here are some random thoughts to get started with... I hope they're not too boring!
- Who are "they"? And if you become one of them, do "they" become "we"?
- Leading Worship - As you all know, one of the most wonderful, blissful things you can do in service to God... Now if we can just do away with everyone else's ideas about how music should sound and what songs we should sing and whether we should practice one hour or two and on and on and on... Remember, christians aren't any different than anyone else, even the ones up at the podium (or maybe especially the ones up at the podium?), they're just going to a better place after the curtains close...
- Why do all the new superhero movies have to, well, suck? Batman Returns excepted, I'd rather sit down and watch the original Superman movies than go back to the theatre for Spiderman or Superman returns. Yeah, I know the effects looks cool, but whatever happened to drama and suspense (or a well-written plot)?
- I cancelled my cable the other week. Got tired of paying $50 a month for all those channels I have no need for. Now I pay $9 a month and can still buy all the good shows on DVD after the season is over, or, better yet, buy them on iTunes and watch them the day after. Now if we can just get Paramount and Sony/BMG to sign up for iTunes...
- My whole extended family (even my 11-year old daughter) thinks that the world is going to end from Global Warming... Leave it to the MSM. None of them will listen to me when I point them to articles and scientific studies debunking the whole myth and noting how little actual scientific data actually supports this wacky idea. Check out Friends Of Science, actually READ the articles, especially this paper and tell me that you still think Montana's going to be waterfront property in a few years... I'm not against stopping pollution and fuel efficiency and all that, but let's not destroy our economy in the name of junk science...
I guess that's about all for now... Just wanted to get something up on the board. I'll follow up later, hopefully once per week or more, with some more in-depth stuff. Until then, cheers!
