"I love our country. But putting the Ten Commandments on the courthouse walls will not make people..."

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 23:10:14 -0500

“I love our country. But putting the Ten Commandments on the courthouse walls will not make people obey them any more than they do now. Putting prayer in schools will not make our children or teachers want to pray any more than they do now. And putting Christians in every government position will not make our country more righteous or more blessed by God than any other country. Jesus is not some sort of Bread King whom we put on the throne because he will stabilize our economy, ensure our health, rescue our jobs, multiply our money, or beef up our security. To give us what we need, Jesus cannot be the king of our country.”

- From a sermon by Pastor Jim Strassen on July 28, 2012

“We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. … I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”

- Thomas Edison, inventor (1847-1931)

Brad’s headstone was recently set. Today was the first time I saw it. I think this makes his passing more final to me.

Trans Siberian Orchestra

Caught the Trans Siberian Orchestra in Kansas City this afternoon and it was incredible. They played for over two and a half hours. The first half of the show was their Christmas program, then they did a secular show. Both pieces were great with a wonderful mix of sounds and sights. If you ever get a chance, GO!
