The Great Pumpkin Proposes a Toast

As hard as it may be to believe, there was a time when the InternetMonk was not the stuffy old grouch he is today.  Prove it to yourself by reading this post, entitled The Great Pumpkin Proposes a Toast, hidden away deep in the IM archives.  I do the dirty work so you don’t have [...]

A ton of links

Sometimes I like to go looking for blogs I’ve never read before.   Occasionally, you find a real treasure that way.  One of my internet blogging buddies has created a post listing every single blog that he subscribes to with RSS.  He is actually taking inventory of what to scrap and what to keep, but in [...]

Parable of the Talents

Jesus gave many different analogies of what the Kingdom of God is like.  In Matthew 25 we read the parable of the talents.  After he finishes this parable, he goes on to describe the final judgement.  Earlier in chp. 25 is the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, which teaches us to always be [...]

New Friends (on the blogroll)

As I am introduced to new blogs I didn’t know about, and make new friends on the internet, I like to update my blogroll from time to time.  (Likewise, some blogs I link to have become inactive, and I should probably remove them.)  A couple of new editions this week are RT’s Place and Thinking Out Loud.  [...]

This video was created by our friends at nrl4prop8.wordpress.com.  This is a link  to the original post at their site.  You all know my take on same-sex marriage: if you want to have some sort of “civil union” recognized by the state, I’m fine with [...]

There’s probably no God

“There’s probably no God.”  So billboards on buses will soon say in London, England.  The British Humanist Association (BHA) raised money to purchase the ad space, with a matching contribution from Richard Dawkins.  The entire slogan reads “There’s probably no God.  So stop worrying and enjoy your life.”  Read the full story here.  I must [...]

Does anyone know who Jesus is?

I was watching this video on Who Jesus Is and one thought in particular came to mind.  It shouldn’t surprise us that many people have no idea who Jesus is, or even that they don’t know exactly what they believe.  Ask the typical person on the street about Jesus, and you’ll always get answers like “He [...]

Catholic Vote 2008

No, I am not Roman Catholic.  CatholicVote2008.com has put together an excellent video to remind us all that it’s not as important who you vote for as it is that you vote.  I believe all Christians should be able to agree with the message of this film.  It’s a good way to spend the next [...]

Pray for Mom

Please pray for my mother.  I don’t have a pic on my laptop.  In 2003, she had a massive heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery.  She went to the ER tonight, and the doctors did an EKG they didn’t like the look of.  At this time (Thursday evening, Oct. 16), she is in a room [...]

The Greatest Commandment

In the Old Testament, God gave Moses the Law so that the Hebrews could be His people and He could be their God.  Most people are familiar with the 10 Commandments, but there were many others.  You can read page after page in Leviticus and Deuteronomy about what to do if your bull accidentally kills [...]
