Mrs. Benny Hinn & The Holy Ghost Enema


Funny but extremely sad really… Benny Hinn is bad enough… Here is his wife telling her congregation of backsliders that they need a “Holly Ghost Enema”.


Is it even possible to make a comment after this nonsense?

The gospel of “health and wealth” is no gospel at all

First Dog Cloned... What Think Ye?

There's the little cutie now... A chip off the old block. (Read all about it here.) Of course it was completed in Korea by a "cloning" researcher... Here's what the article says...

"The researchers, led by Woo-Suk Hwang, insist they cloned an Afghan hound, a resplendent supermodel in a world of mutts, only to help investigate human disease, including the possibility of producing stem cells for treatment purposes."

But I don't know... It seems like a lot of trouble to produce a gourmet meal to me... What do you think?

The "Feel Good" Movie of the Year!

Last weekend my wife "dragged" me to this movie...

Wow, am I ever glad she did. A documentary about an experimental Ballroom Dancing course for elementary school kids in New York City, this documentary really knocked me out. Having been a little poisoned on Ballroom dancing after seeing an episode of the creepy "Dancing with the Stars" (see current "Peeve") I had no desire to see "Dancing With the Kids"... But do yourself a favor... GO SEE IT THIS WEEKEND...

You will fall in love with the kids, teachers, and drive home with a smile on your face. Click here to see the TRAILER & CLIPS

Foods of the "Bible"


Logia was one of the first companies to explore the merits of “biblical nutrition” starting with the new millennium and its popular Bible Bar, introduced in 2000, has literally taken the country by storm. In fact, the Bible Bar still remains our number one seller at the House Of David. Logia’s scripture bars have also been very well received and are among the finest all natural and organic health bars on the market. We highly recommend all of their fine products.

To all my Christian friends who really want to be extra "Holy", its time to load up with some fine "biblically"based confections. "Bible Bars", "Temple Treasures", "King David's Treat", "Seeds of Samson", "Sacred Nectar" will certainly be a double blessing to both your stomach and soul... And ofcourse afterward no real Saint would deprive themselves a Pious Poop by using the Lord's own "Thoroughly Cleansed" Christian Body Cleanser and Detoxifier...

What could possibly be next?

Davey & Goliath

Produced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Davey & Goliath was a Claymation series that ran in the 50’s and 60’s. It was one of my favorite shows… The shows all revolved around the Adventures of a Christian family called "The Hansen's" particularly Davey Hansen and his talking dog Goliath. All of the shows had moral messages and had the Church (Lutheran of course) always in the middle of the Hansen family’s life. The series has been restored on DVD… I highly recommend this series to all of my friends and “Veggie Tales” parents. Your kids will LOVE them and so will you.

Incidentally, as a kid I LOVED the theme song of D&G… All of my Reformed friends will quickly recognize it as Martin Luther’s “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”. (Listen to it) It is one of the greatest hymns in the history of the Christian Church.

Saying Goodbye to Jack...

I watched Jack Nicklaus play his last competitive hole in a major this afternoon, and it actually brought tears to my eyes. This is the third time this has happened to me... The other two were the retiring of Willie Mays, and the firing of Tom Landry.

I guess Jack meant so much to me because of the memories I have watching him compete in the different stages of my life. He won the Masters in 1986 when he was my age (46) by shooting 30 on the back nine at Augusta, and won his first Green Jacket in 1963 when I was 4. He won his first US Open in 1962 when I was 3 years old and his last 2 weeks before I got married in 1980...

Thanks Jack!

Worlds Ugliest Dog...

After all of the cutsy puppy posts... her's a good one...

For the 3rd year in a row, "Sam"The Chinese Crested has won the "Worlds Ugliest Dog" Title at the Sonoma Fair in Petaluma, CA. Sam the "weird and bizarre" dog and his owner are from Santa Barbara...

Do we think it is a coincidence that Santa Barbara is also home to the most "weird and bizarre" man?

Hmmmmmmm.....

Oh to be at the Rio this week...

Overall I HATE LAS VEGAS... I can't stand Celine Dion ("Near.. Farr..." Pound the Chest), You can barely find a decent hotel room for less than $200 anymore, and the Casino's are a total RIP OFF - There is really not much redeeming there. EXCEPT POKER!!!

Poker is the only game where there are no house odds... It's you against 9 other human beings... What a thrill... It is the only game where on a given night you can play with and beat a pro. I will never hit a major league fastball, or throw a TD pass in an NFL game, but I have trapped a Full Time Professional Poker player and won a $300.00 pot checking with made straight after the flop.... This week is World Series of Poker in Vegas ... Oh How I wish I could play in the big event... Just Once!!!

Will The Greatness of Gloop Be Duplicated This Summer? I Think Not!

Without question one of the greatest 3 seconds in silver screen history... I am waiting on pins and needles for the new Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (2005). Yet only time and history will tell of the legacy left by the original Willy Wonka (1971)... and of course the 3 seconds of microphone madness from Mr. Gloop!

QUISP IS BACK!

For children of the 60's Breakfast Cereal was not a breakfast food - It was a way of life. Quisp (From Outer Space) and his rival Quake (From the Center of the Earth) were really the first cartoon characters designed to be a breakfast cereals. Quisp & Quake were identical cereals just shaped different. Quisp was little flying saucers. They were the brainchild of Quaker Oats and designed for them by Jay Ward the creator of Rocky & Bulwinkel and we went CRAZY for them.

Well they are back... See Quisp.com for all the details. I doubt however that the new Quisp will have the same tagline from the 60's. "Quisp - The Vitamin Powered Sugary Cereal" AWESOME!

The BMW iDrive

The most loved and hated automotive interface in history...

There is no middle ground BMW drivers either swear by it, or at it. Having used it now for almost 4 months I am an iDrive Evangelist. I LOVE IT! Between the iDrive & voice recognition (see the button) virtually any thing in the car can be controlled in a matter of seconds. Navigation (GPS), Entertainment (CD, Sirius Satellite Radio, FM), Bluetooth Mobile Phone, etc. are all controlled with a few twists and/ or clicks while going 90 (I mean 55) mph. Come over for a test drive anytime. By the way my buddy Ron McNalley HATES his iDrive, but Ron has also failed to master the fine art of the e-mail 'attatchment'... Go figure...

The Spokane Restraining Order Wedding...

HAHAHAHA - Only in Spokane, WA

SPOKANE, Wash. — When Rachel Dunham took out a restraining order against her boyfriend, she didn't expect to be marrying him a short time later. So instead of honeymooning in Mexico, Rodney Tomsha sits in the Spokane County Jail, accused of violating the order by getting within two blocks of Dunham.

The couple were married last Thursday in nearby Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Spokane police Detective Stephanie Barkley said. Police received a tip about a Saturday wedding reception at a Spokane mansion, waited until the reception was over and then arrested Tomsha, 49, police spokesman Dick Cottam said. Dunham, 25, had obtained the order after two reports of domestic violence were investigated by Barkley last year. In addition, Dunham was arrested on June 17 for investigation of domestic violence against Tomsha, police said.

Another court hearing seeking removal of the protection order was scheduled for Wednesday

"Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt..."

Are you not just totally put out by "Expert Stars"? Religion, Politics, Science, The Environment... Make a few movies or sell a few million records and you too can get 10 minutes on national television to educate the masses. Scientology poster child Tom Cruise showed his stuff on the Today show recently educating the nation and Matt Lauer on the history of psychiatry, depression, and more... See the interview and/or read the transcript and learn from Dr. Cruise.

The Greatest Shoe Ever Made?


All I can say is I bought these in Nordstroms a few months ago and do not take them off. Part shoe, part sandal, part sneaker, these things are unreal. Lisa went out and bought a pair in a cool ladies style too. Check out all of the Keen Footware... I love companies like this...

Hey Alda - Glengary "Get Lost"

I saw the 2005 Tony Award winning play "Glengary Glen Ross" tonight on Broadway. The acting was stunning... but as a whole the night was disappointing. First, the part of Blake (Alan Baldwin in the movie version) was missing - "ABC, A Always, B Be, C Closing", and finally, my buddy and I were outside the theater when Alan Alda came out of the stage door and acted like a real loser. There were only a handful of people standing around and "Hawkeye" not only refused to sign any autographs, but showed his true colors by putting his superior nose in the air, refusing to acknowledge or mingle with the "steerage". We get it: "WE'RE NOT WORTHY ALAN "

WORLD and "The Simpsons"

It's About Time! WORLD Magaizine, one of my favorite periodicals, recently admitted what some of us having been saying for years... That "The Simpsons" is not only one of the BEST TV shows period, it is one of the best shows for "Christians" as well.

More on The Simpsons to come... Trust Me!

For now just read the article and let me know what you think. It's called Homer's Odyssey: Sacrilege, satire, and fun mingle in the zany universe known as The Simpsons - Written by Gene Edward Veith

Giants BLOW a 3 run lead in the Ninth losing to the Tigers... Stop The Insanity...


This is too much to take... Another 3 run blown save in the bottom of the 9th.. this time by Tyler Walker. This season is all but over... Even a healthy (MVP) Barry can not turn this thing around.

FIND A CLOSER PLEASE!

PCUSA's Conservative Voice

The PCUSA, the largest Presbyterian Body in America, has over 11,000 congregations and 2.5 plus Million members. It's gradual decline in numbers in recent years can be directly related to it's simultaneous rejection of historic Presbyterian doctrine and practice.

There is now a movement within the PCUSA that is very exciting and gathering steam. Supported by the Presbyterian Lay Committee, the Confessing Church Movement now consists of 1,309 Congregations representing some 431,000 members. These churches have banded together to try to force the denomination to be faithful to its own doctrinal standards. The focus of this group is the following declaration:

1. That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the way of salvation.
2. That holy Scripture is the Triune God's revealed Word, the Church's only infallible rule of faith and life.
3. That God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.


All PCA members should be praying for this movement...

Library Progam

I have been looking & waiting for the perfect computerized library application for several years. I finally found it…

My friend Jim Heimbach recently introduced me to a program called BookCAT and it is amazing. BookCAT uses ISBN or LCC (Library of Congress Catalog) numbers to search several databases around the world to populate information about your books into the library. The company called FNProgramvare also has applications for CD's, and Video's that can be reasonably purchased as a package. Check it out

The Greatness of Barnum's Animals

Here they are.... These delightful little critters are over 100 years old! Officially named "Barnum's Animal Crackers" in 1902, these beauties have never really changed. Here are some facts about Animal Crackers that I bet you didn't know.



  • They Were originally .05 cents a box (I got them for a quarter when I was a kid)
  • There have been 37 different animals over the years - Today line up of 17 include: Tigers, cougars, camels, Rino's, Kangaroos, Hippo's, Bison, Hyena's, Zebra's, Elephants, Sheep (Lame), Bears, Gorillas, Monkeys, Seals and Giraffes
  • There are EXACTLY 22 crackers per box
  • More than 40 million boxes are sold each year - that is over 6,000 miles of string
  • You can buy them on Amazon.com

Incidentally McDonald's "Original" Cookies are pretty good too.. but for my money I would rather bite the head off a Tiger than Mayor McCheese!

Lame...
