A sin: “Women deacons? Now that is a sin!
The woman factor
“Why shouldn’t women be deacons? They do most of the work in the church anyway. I have observed this since my childhood.?If not for women, dinner on the grounds would have been a balogna sandwich.
Social media
“Don’t be so hard on social media. I keep up with my family that way. They are spread all over the country and a couple of foreign countries.
The prom
“Well the prom is over. Our government was not overthrown. The cosmos did not implode. Water still runs downhill and he sun cam up this morning. Go figure.
In response
“A word to my fundamentalist friends. Much of the New Testament was written many years after the death of Christ. This was not a time of mass communication so I would imagine that a lot of what was written was anecdotal. As well, some books did not make the Bible. That was a decision by a panel of church leaders. There’s a Gospel of Thomas that did not make the cut. Research a little history to accompany the scriptures.
Before you judge
“To the Deacon Police before you judge others for their sins and failures, remember how many times God has forgiven you.
Mr. Lee
“I hear Mr. Lee is quitting at Cox School. That is terrible. Both my kids loved Mr. Lee.
O’Reilly
“You have to realize that Bill O’Reilly embraces that old adage of ‘not as I do, but as I say do.’
Barking dogs
“About the barking dogs, city ordinance Sec. 74-26 states in part: Creation of …unnecessary noise prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person to make, continue, or cause to be made or continued any loud, unnecessary or unusual noise which either disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of other persons …http://www.moultriega.com/government/city-clerk/city-ordinances/
His arrogance
“Looks like O’Reilly’s arrogance has finally caught up with him. You have to understand, he is in show business … not news. Just a polished ‘shock jock.’
