What to Do When Jesus Returns?

We've all heard the quip from Martin Luther, who, when (supposedly) asked "what would you do if you knew that the Lord was returning tomorrow?" replied, "I'd plant an apple tree today."  This guy has a different answer.  He wants to blow stuff up!  Click here: 01/31/2009 - St. Charles County man charged with stealing explosives for 'end of the world' - STLtoday.com

Speaking of end-times confusion, here is a rather distressing "O be careful little hands what you do" approach to our Lord's return.  Instead of telling people why they shouldn't waste time watching TV when they could be witnesses of Christ, why not stress the glories of the blessed hope.  Remember, for a Christian, our Lord's return is pure gospel, not law.  Click here: Jesus is coming – where are your children?

Gay marriage is not only a denial of the creation order, it makes for very bad law.  One of the happy couples who pushed for gay marriage in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is now divorcing.  While that comes as no surprise whatsoever, the cynic in me wants to know, "who gets the car, the blender, and the cat?"  Which one will have to pay alimony?  Even worse, this will create a whole new specialized field of lawyers--"Gay divorce lawyers."  Swell, just what we need.

With a given name like "Kimball" Riddlebarger, its a wonder (according to a new study) that I haven't lived a life of crime.  Well, I have, I've just kept in my heart.  Click here: FOXNews.com - Boys With Unusual Names More Likely to Break Law - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology

"With a given name like "Kimball" Riddlebarger, its a wonder (according to a new study) that I haven't lived a life of crime. Well, I have, I've just kept in my heart."

So what you're saying, Kim, is that I'm up a creak with Cyprian and Caiden?

Is that where you also keep the black eyes for having a girl's name? Remember, don't cry out loud, just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings.

Aaron,
Maybe you should point out that if FEMA is in charge of the camps they have nothing to fear. As W used to say, "you're doin' a heck of a job Brownie."
