REMINDER
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

A New Low in Navel Peering...


I went to YouTube to look at a sermon that a friend had mentioned. They now have these little transparent "Ads by Google" that they overlay on the botttom of the video. Here is the ad that popped up on the sermon:

"Could my Husband be Gay?
Worried your husband might be gay? Take the test and See. Free Online"

Can you imagine?

My first thought when I read this was, "What is wrong with us?" (but I guess I know the answer to that.) But can you imagine the poor rascals who are going to have those "test results" waiting for them at home some evening soon? And to get them from the woman you've pledged to honor and love and cherish for the rest of your life?

((shudder!))

It brings to mind...

Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Proverbs 21:9 NIV

But let's face it. There are great odds the "test" was written by a man.

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth."

2 Timothy 3:1-7

Rather than going on further about how misguided and terrible "they" are, this would be a good time to for all of us to stop and pray for our nation.

Pretty much a sinner through and through. I have two daughters and a son. God has blessed me over and over on a scale that defies any relationship to my faithfulness to Him. I'm just trying to do right by the people I know and love more of them better, (while practicing hard at being a grumpy old man.)
