Wednesday November 16, 2005

RIP: Adrian Rogers, longtime Bellevue pastor and leader in Conservative Resurgence, died yesterday at the age of 74. BPNews reports.

Community: Carla wonders if she should have offered a ride to a rather downtrodden looking hitchhiker. She is looking for input. “I wished last night, that we lived in a world where it was not only okay, but expected of strangers, to stop and help another man or woman, who needed help.”

Humor: Rick over at Cure Hardy’s Two Bells tells a story. “From the publishers of The Purpose Driven Country comes; Likely Story, the real life drama of Amber Smits, a bank teller held at gunpoint by a man with no direction in life. But Amber gives him something to ponder as she talks to him about recent Christian fads.”

New Blog: Discoshaman, he of Le Sabot Post Moderne fame, has created a new blog entitled Religion of Peace?. He is keeping a running tally of the number of people killed by Christian and Muslim terrorists since November 11, 2005. So far the score is 94-0 in favor of the Muslims.

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
