Left Behind… again

January 23rd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Ok. I am not a fan of the Left Behind series of books by Tim LeHaye and Jerry Jenkins. I think they are poorly written and do nothing to further the faith; they are merely tools to get elitist fundie “christians” all riled up by the thought of all the poor “sinners” being [...]

now… before you go off on a rant, let me just say I realize some of these answers seemingly contradict other things he is quoted as saying… could it be he is rethinking his [...]

Jabberwocky

December 5th, 2007 · No Comments

Ever feel like nothing makes any sense? Enjoy the poem by Lewis Carroll and remember… it doesn’t have to make sense!
  ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

so…

October 15th, 2007 · No Comments

I’ve redesigned things a bit… I felt my one sidebar was getting over crowded as there are always so many cool little widgets and gadgets that can go in them… so, I picked a 3-column theme so I could spread it out a bit, trouble is, I don’t like the default color scheme and i’m [...]
