Why I won't be watching the Oscars this year

(click the title!)

Just when I thought the Academy had come back to Earth and started picking movies for their quality rather than for some obscure reason that I don't think the public at large has understood in recent years, they completely pass by the most successful, most artfully portrayed, most powerful film of the year! I thumb my nose at the academy. I will certainly have something better to do on Oscar night.

Persecution

First, click the title of this post and go read what the Moose has to say.

I gotta say, I couldn't agree more. We Christians in America have it pretty cushy, when you really look at it. Yet, we waste so much time complaining about how "persecuted" we are. You want to look at real persecution? Check out either of the books below. They are just full of stories (some very recent) of people who put their Earthly lives on the line to follow their God. So few of us here in the USA have any concept of what it is to live in a place where you can be tortured and killed simply for being a Jesus Freak. Next time you feel the need to complain about how hard it is here, think about the men and women in this book, shut your yap, and be grateful that God has placed you in a country where you can worship Him without fear of real persecution.

Sorry!!!

I know I haven't posted in the longest time, and I am sooo sorry! You might say I've been inside Cheke and Cimble lately. I don't know how much I'll be here until the holidays are over, as I am really really stressed out, and using all of my free time in pursuit of decompression. In the mean time, enjoy some more pix from Russia, courtesy of Rodney. Please continue to be in prayer for the team that's over there are there are currently some issues with the raising of support. If you feel led to help, drop me a line and I'll give you the contact info.

Fun stuff to take up all of your time so you won't even miss me: (not that I assume you have or will)
