Old Testament God Vs. New Testament God
Friday, September 21st, 2007 Posted in Faith & Religion | 6 Comments »I came across an interesting question by a member of a forum I frequent related to the community I live in. They asked the question, "Why is God so different in both testaments? (Bible - Old and New)" They provided no other details as to what they were referring to, however I'd make a pretty good that guess that they were comparing the differences between God's grace and God's wrath. You see the Old Testament is ...
Nebraska State Senator Sues God and God Answers Back
Friday, September 21st, 2007 Posted in Faith & Religion | 1 Comment »Sounds like a weird story - a man suing the Almighty. I hear it happens quite often. In this situation, Nebraska State Senator, Ernie Chambers, is suing God for making terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspiring fear and causing 'widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants.' The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused 'fearsome ...
The Brevity of Life
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 Posted in Personal | No Comments »You just never know when your number is going to come up. We as humans can endure so many trials, hardships, sickness, and the like, however sometimes what seems like nothing can take us out. A blow to the head, choking on a small object, a simple sickness that turns fatal, or as in Cecil Pugh's case, a stay bullet. People die everyday in Phoenix by accidental means but how often does someone get killed by ...
Property Taxes - Just Not Fair
Saturday, September 15th, 2007 Posted in Politics & Government | No Comments »I just received my annual property tax bill and man am I annoyed. Why should I have to pay taxes on a property that I own? I know that some of our property taxes go to fund education which we need, however all of my kids are out of school. I also am aware that all states have a property tax, although the rates vary. The fundamental question I have is "why should I have ...
Favorite Roller Coasters
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 Posted in Roller Coasters | No Comments »To date, I have had the privilege of riding 128 individual roller coasters. To accomplish this, have visited a total of 24 amusement parks thus so far in my life. From the steel mega coasters such as Millennium Force to an old classic such as the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, I love roller coasters. Therefore I thought I'd list my favorites in each category. I have also made the entire list available ...
Disneyland Trivia: Walt Disney’s Apartment
Friday, September 7th, 2007 Posted in All Things Disney | 2 Comments »I'm a huge fan of Disneyland, the original theme park and as such am as much interested in its history and secrets as visiting it in person. I have visited the park a total of eight times as of the writing of this post and yet there are still places I have not been and secrets that have not been revealed to me. One of these places is Walt Disney's apartment. I bet most people that ...
Very Good Shiraz At A Decent Price - Jakes Fault
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 Posted in Food and Beverage | No Comments »We have been enjoying a really decent Shiraz called Jakes Fault which we get at the local Trader Joe's for about $5 a bottle. You would think that at $5 a bottle you'd sacrifice taste and experience but not so with this wine. It's the kind of Shiraz that goes great with the evening meal or all by itself. Everytime we go to Trader Joe's, we pick up like 6 bottles or so. In fact ...
How To Buy a Classic Car For Half Price
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 Posted in Big Boys Toys | 3 Comments »I love telling this story. A couple of years ago, me and my wife (well actually it was mostly me) got a wild hair and decided to buy our son, who was 18 at the time, his first car - a 1968 Ford Mustang. That ended up being a decision I'd regret but that is another story I won't tell hear and now. What is interesting about the purchase of this vehicle is that I ...
I’m Addicted to Tom Kha Gai Soup
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007 Posted in Food and Beverage | No Comments »If you have never enjoyed this wonderful Thai soup, you don't know what you are missing. Tom Kha Gai is a hot sweet soup made with coconut milk, lemon grass and chicken. The name literally translates to "boiled galangal chicken." The fried chillies add a smoky flavor as well as texture, color and heat, but not so much that it overwhelms the soup. We are fortunate enough to have a great little Thai restaurant in Anthem ...
