Interviews

I did an interview this morning with Kevin Swanson of Generations Radio. I'm told that it will be airing on Thursday, Aug.14/08. You can catch it here http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/Generations_Radio/ when the time comes.

I also did an interview with the local newspaper, who had heard somehow that I have a new CD coming out soon.

Where's The Brakes?!?

I took my big van in to my mechanic brother, Stephen, for a check-up, and was told that it was a good thing I came in, the brakes were almost gone. He tells me that they work as normal right up until they go, then they suprise you. But I'm looking at $800 to replace them...ouch.

Val came home from a drive about town today, and told me the brakes just started squealing on my little van... OUCH!

Sickening

"...and the second is like it; you shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Except in Canada, where we read this command as "You shall leave your neighbor by himself."

Most of you have probably heard by now of the (surely) demon-possessed fellow who stabbed and decapitated a fellow passenger on a bus in Manitoba. How many people were on that bus at the time? It surely takes at least awhile to complete the deed of removng someone's head, why did nobody intervene? There were lots of things at hand that could have been thrown at him, to distract him long enough for somebody to tackle him and disarm him.

He could have been stopped cold, before he did the deed, if it were legal to carry concealed firearms in this country. In fact, you can be sure this would not have happened at all if that were the case...

I strongly suspect that there will now be a push to outlaw knives in Canada. Just watch.

The Difficulty of Movie Smooches

You know how it works. When the guy finally gets the girl they smooch, and usually with open mouths. I have told my children that those kind of kisses are essential, but not until they are married, and that they should not engage in such activities until then.

Easier said than done... Val was sitting at the table the other day while 6 year old Chloe was eating a peach. Chloe seemed to be greatly enjoying the sensation, with great big bites and long contact with the peach.

"What are you doing, Chloe?" says Val.

Chloe replies, "I'm kissing my wedding boy!"

Sigh...
