  zachary turns 10 tomorrow, and had his birthday party today.

  he had a great time, several of his friends attended, and of course he got some nice presents.

  gina (his mom, freedomfrog) organized the whole thing, including arranging for several games, a pirate theme, goody-bags, and the like.

  Why our Bible is the best!

  by nvrgnbk in

  here is an interesting prologue i recently found while perusing bibles at my local christian bookstore.... as the holy scriptures that were meticulously transmitted to our ancient brethren form the basis of our undying faith in the sovereign lord almighty, the importance of their accurate translation is of utmost concern to all of the consecrated.

  tragically, the enemy of our salvation, satan, and his earthly agents have spared no effort in their attempts to adulterate the purest thoughts of the most high.

  the means used were often so subtly insidious that it's only after the passage of centuries that contradictions in renderings and spurious verses have become apparent to the faithful.

  I find it hilarious that you put that much energy into it.

  A 30 second riposte? Seems to me that the energy was in the OP, which is funny.

  You are so full of it, Nate.

  I guess it was good for both of us.

  Here is the Info. What is it About?

  there has been a new scientific theory that warns of an impending crisis, and it points the way out.. this theory receives the support of leading scientists, politicians and celebrities around the world.

  the media reports about it all the time and what will happen if we don't do something about the worldwide problem we are facing.

  the problem the theory identifies has become so mainstream that is it taught in schools and universities.. among its advocates are two united states presidents, a renowned british prime minister, two supreme court justices, world famous inventors, novelists, playrights and nobel prize winners, among hundreds of other celebrities.

  "Will you reveal Him to us, Rabbi?"
  
  
  No.

  That's not very helpful, Carlos.

  You think all those that can't find reason to believe are hard-hearted and bitter?

  Were the Hebrew prophets that mocked foreign deities hard-hearted and bitter in their disbelief or were they just showing that they considered those gods to be powerless, existing only in the imagination of their servants?

  Pathological President defends Iraq War

  bush defends iraq war in speech by steven lee myerspublished: march 20, 2008washington president bush used the fifth anniversary of the start of the war in iraq on wednesday to make the case for persevering in a conflict that could have many more anniversaries.

  democrats accused him of lacking a strategy to win and withdraw.. mr. bush, speaking before members of the armed forces and defense officials at the pentagon, said in his frankest acknowledgment yet that the costs of the war, in lives and money, had been higher and longer lasting than he had anticipated.

  but he remained unwavering in his insistence that the invasion of iraq, which began in march 2003, had made the world better and the united states safer.. "five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting, whether the fight is worth winning, and whether we can win it," he said.

  Your sarcasm aside

  Rest assured, it was good-natured, as always.

  if he is right he is right. I think it would have been an easier road than to build a democracy by gluing together the three groups in a democracy. That kind of thing usually requires a striongman ala Saddam. But still. If it works out it will be badass.

  I actually agree with you. Since the clock can't be turned back, this is making the best of a bad situation, IMO.

  no matter how much you want to avoid it...crying is necessary sometimes.

  for me, i need help with it....too many distractions in my life.

  i almost have to plan crying....so for me music aides in releasing emotion, helps me just be me for an interval of time.

  The Luckiest by Ben Folds

  http://youtube.com/watch?v=rYU6lbGSbxc&feature=related

  I dont get many things right the first time
  In fact, I am told that a lot
  Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
  Brought me here
  
  And where was I before the day
  That I first saw your lovely face?
  Now I see it everyday
  And I know
  
  That I am
  I am
  I am
  The luckiest
  
  What if Id been born fifty years before you
  In a house on a street where you lived?
  Maybe Id be outside as you passed on your bike
  Would I know?
  
  And in a white sea of eyes
  I see one pair that I recognize
  And I know
  
  That I am
  I am
  I am
  The luckiest
  
  I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
  
  Next door theres an old man who lived to his nineties
  And one day passed away in his sleep
  And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
  And passed away
  
  Im sorry, I know thats a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
  That I know
  
  That I am
  I am
  I am
  The luckiest

  So let me guess, you were overwhelmed by the holy spirit upon reading the prologue, fell to your knees, praised the lord, and then bought that bible?

  I was overwhelmed alright.

  Fortunately, the restroom was not occupied.
