Don't it make you sick that the unreverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton try and bring the Savoir of the world down to their level? If you ever get the chance to read the book, Knowledge of the Holy, by A.W. Tozer you'll see how this making God into something He is not is idolatry. Same goes for Christ. Jesse and Al worship idols as do many others that claim to be preachers of the Gospel. They are preaching that other Jesus that Paul writes about. By their fruits you shall know them

The Resurrection

The Resurrection was an actual event:
Jesus said that "He who has seen me has seen the Father."--John 14-19
Jesus was not just a teacher or someone that taught the "truth," He is the truth.

How can anybody, except a bunch of brain dead Commiecrats, take anything Debbie Shultz of the Wasserman Crime family serious? Last week she was heaping praise on the mayor of LA while the city is on the verge of bankrupcy. They are 225 million in the hole.

When will some Repbulican grow a pair and call BS on everfything she says? Fox needs to have this idiot and Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter on for a debate.
And an LA radio talk show host took her to the woodshed!

I have to laugh that Debbie Dismal got hoisted upon her own petard when she tried to deify LA Mayor Tony V and ended up sputtering for a response because her talking points were destroyed by the host. Loved it!

She just can't stop using Democrat talking points and the denizens of LA were having none of it!

He could have possibly made four, which would have been a heck of a lot better than a six.
He's going to have to really work to get back into it.

Easter Bible Verses...
Matthew 27:50-53 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
You Didn't Build That.

That incredible 2nd shot he made out of the woods that landed on the green is going to be on the highlight vids from now until Hell freezes over.
I bet Phil Mickelson is kicking himself over what he did at the fourth hole. Not going back to the tee and trying to get a four is going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
As well it should, 'cause that was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a player do in a major tournament.

Congrats to Bubba. A well deserved win.

When his tee shot on ten went wide, my heart sank, but when I saw where his second shot ended up, I actually got up off the couch and cheered, because I was thinking the best he could do was punch it out to the fairway.
That shot took some serious stones.

On a separate note (though there is a significant Cross reference I found extremely true and touching), I thought this was a very classy Gingrich interview (worth playing, IMO):
