Dr. Dobson’s group, “Focus on the Family” has started a prayer campaign to pray for rain at Obama’s acceptance of the Democratic nomination.
This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered “Christian” groups praying for rain to hurt others. When I was a teen, the band Cheap Trick came to play in my little town of Palmer, Alaska. My church started a campaign to pray that the concert would be rained out. I spent most of my youth wondering why “Christians” focus so much of their energy and prayer towards hating and hurting others rather than actually doing good. I still wonder.
By the way the concert was a rare, beautiful 70+ degree day.
Update: the weather was beautiful. The only rain occurred in the Fox “News” booth; it was flooded due to a sprinkler malfunction.
In the middle of the dog days of summer it’s easy to forget that autumn is not very far off. The heat has really been getting to me this past week, but these cute little apples reminded me that harvest time is on its way.
Harvest time, for many, is a time of intense work and great joy.
It’s not that I don’t love inhaling jet exhaust, or gratuitous displays of military might, or testosterone charged military service recruiting sessions , or even the opportunity to have my tax dollars go towards consuming extra barrels of oil so Exxon can top their record earnings from last quarter – it’s the fact that I have to wear earplugs in my own house and even still my dishes and glasses have been rattling for three days. I’m tired and cranky and I’d like to take a nap, thank you. _________________________________________
When I watched WALL-E last week, Mr. H was not with me. I spent the entire movie wishing that he was there because I just wanted to hold his hand.
When I saw this robots in love pendant, I just couldn’t resist. While they are nothing like the main characters in the movie, these robots convey the same sense of innocence and comfort in each other, and I find it quite endearing.
