‘But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.’   ~ Isaiah 53:5

Folks use some very funny search engine terms used to get to my blog.  Here are a few of the stranger ones:

• ‘poopy babes’ (I am praying that is just a misspelling.)

• katutura tour (?)

• parachute heather ferguson  (Is this an adjective or a command?)

• ron paul farmers  (Sound like my kind of guys!)

• does hippo’s have a tail?  (Yes–and probably better grammar.)

• it is better to live in the desert  (Probably a bedouin propagandist.)

• Imagine the impact if Christians would organise like this against Hollywood!

• I was telling Marian, Hannah, Ashlee, and Jamison about my idea for a reality show that would examine the plague of laziness in our culture.  I would call it, American Idle.

• ‘All homeschoolers have tasted a morsel of freedom that many others still can’t comprehend.’

• They say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but now I know that they mean Money. ~ Lord Byron

• Did you know that the MP3 Player is 10 years old this month?

• Stories such as the following will become increasingly common I am afraid as an inevitable result of the perversion of the definition of marriage. After all, if society insists that ‘love’ and consent are all that is required to constitute a legitimate marriage, where will it end?

‘At first sight they look like an ordinary couple, strolling through the park with their child and their dog. But when the two adults hug each other their physical similarities are unmistakable. They have the same pronounced nose, the same blue-green eyes, and the same thin lips. Patrick S. and Susan K. are brother and sister. They are an incestuous couple.’

• ‘Two sets of parents in Belgium were recently handed five month prison terms for failing to vaccinate their children against polio.’

• ‘A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a ‘creepy gnome’ that locals claim stalks the streets at night.’ I really don’t see the big deal here. Folks in Ireland have been dealing with this sort of thing for centuries.

• Gilligan’s affinity for the wacky-tobacky was well known but who would have thought that sweet little Mary Ann would suffer from reefer madness?

Q: ‘I’d like to follow up on their refusal to talk about the dollar, if I could. I mean, we’re in a kind of a bad situation here, when OPEC says the reason for $105 or $106 a barrel of oil is the falling value of the dollar — and you won’t address that issue. Where do we go to find out who is right?’

Dana Perino, White House Press Secretary: ‘Wendell, I’m under strict instructions, and have been from the beginning, to not talk about the dollar, and I’m not going to get fired to satisfy your question.’

• Don’t fall for the smoke and mirrors shuck-and-jive Bob Gates is peddling—war with Iran is well on its way.

• ‘It’s not every day a U.S. Senate candidate opens a beer bottle with a prosthesis.’

• Stryper is the only Christian heavy metal band that I know of to break through into the mainstream.  During my senior year of high school (1989) they were a staple on MTV–back when they actually played music videos.  I’m not sure whether they read the entire Bible, though.
