Naked Chocolate Jesus Upsets Christians

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A life-size sculpture of a naked Jesus made out of chocolate has angered a Roman Catholic organization and forced a Manhattan art gallery to reconsider exhibiting it during Easter week.

The sculpture "My Sweet Lord" by Cosimo Cavallaro was to be exhibited for two hours each day next week in a street-level window of the Roger Smith Lab Gallery in Midtown Manhattan. It was set to open on Monday, days before Good Friday when Christians mark the crucifixion of Jesus.

"We're considering our options," Matthew Semler, the gallery's artistic director, said on Friday. "We're still assessing the situation."

I just thought the headline was hilarious, as found in the Drudge Report.

Why Dogs Are Divine

ABC News reports on a dog who saved its owner with the 'Heimlich' maneuver! He noticed her trying to dislodge food she swallowed by performing her own Heimlich, so he jumped on her chest and started pounding on it. So smart! Oh, yes, that "unclean" animal (to Muslims) just saved a human again! Look at that honey of an animal! Oh, dogs!

Anna Nicole Smith Finally Reaches Target Weight

From The Onion

NASSAU, BAHAMAS—Former stripper turned Playboy Playmate turned reality-TV star Anna Nicole Smith has overcome her longtime struggle with obesity, at last reaching her target weight of 125 pounds, sources said Monday.

This is the Onion's humor, finally funny again after failed attempts.

Muslim Attitude Toward Dogs Says it All

ABC News reports about how dogs are unclean to Muslims,

and it's enough to make me so mad. I am tired of hearing about all the self-righteousness in Islam. Muslims declare certain things to be holy and are dead sure they are correct, despising what is "unholy" and it amazes me how Satan has deceived them with their brand of holiness. In Minneapolis, the Muslims who work at Target are so holy, they refuse to touch a package that has bacon in it, so they will not work in a grocery line passing food such as this through the line and have to work somewhere else in the store for the sake of their religion. So holy! Makes me sick! Self righteousness is a righteousness that is man-made not God-made, and is not truly righteous. It is a lie.

Radical Muslims have the audacity to call all those who don't embrace their ways "infidels." Interesting that we use that word to refer to those who who have sex outside of marriage, something that is a part of their religion, as they don't hold sex between one man and woman dear at all, and that is what they call us. Hypocritical!

I cannot believe that Muslims call our bible the word of the devil! Who do they think they are? These are people whose only concept of heaven is sexual, and for men only: 72 virgins in eternity.

Dogs are unclean to them? I find it interesting that one can measure the health of people by their treatment of dogs, since nut-cases mistreat dogs. How can you not see the divinity of the dog? Seeing dogs as unclean shows the twisted thinking in their religion.

Feminism Could Be Bad For Your Health!

This was from The Daily Mail but it will not allow me a transfer to the source. I thought it was funny. Here is an excerpt: "A study in Sweden, arguably one of the most egalitarian countries in the world, discovered that men and women who are equal are more likely to suffer illness or disability.

Those who earn the same are also more likely to become unwell or suffer a disability.

People who have management jobs, male or female, were also found to die younger than those with a less pressured lifestyle."

Speaking In Tongues and Your Brain

ABC news reports, the control center of the brain goes quiet while speaking in tongues, according to a study featured on Nightline. This is a gift God gave me but I haven't used it much. It is supposed to be God praying through you according to His perfect will, and it is His heavenly language. It is supposed to give you peace of mind, and bring you into line with God's will in things. It is also supposed to be a source of Gods' power. Interesting that this secular source reminds me of this neglected gift.

Chocolate is Good For You! Duh!

ABC news just came out with another article about how chocolate is good for you, like I didn't know. I understand it's just the amount of sugar it takes to sweeten chocolate that has always been the problem.

Televangelists

In their defense, I have to say that though God is not using them in my life now, that He has used them in the past and for good. Joyce Myer, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, TBN's Paul and Jan Crouch, and locally, Mac Hammond. They have all had good teaching that I have thrived on for a period of time and learned a lot from. There was a time when I watched Joyce and Benny almost every single morning. I don't agree with their materialism at all, but I can't discount the ways that they have been used in my life. I have given small amounts of money here and there, but caution against giving money to them.

Rat Poison?

"No Big Deal! We just accidentally spilled some rat poison into our food designed to nourish cats and dogs, sorry. Sorry it killed your pet." Is that what they're gonna say? No, I don't believe in suing them, but it's kind of ridiculous. Kind of funny on this side, since I miraculously was using an obscure cat food that wasn't on the list, thanks, God.

Cruise Survivor Made Peace With God

ABC news report. Tim Sears, 31, swam 14 hours in a dark ocean after jumping from his cruise ship while drunk, and had given up. He prayed to God and planned to go under but then decided to swim up and go for one last run, swimming another 3 hours. A cargo ship came and he yelled to it and was rescued. He wasn't attacked by sharks and his survival is miraculous. I'm sure this experience has changed his life.

Wrong Sperm Gives Couple Black Baby

I suppose anything is possible. Abc news reports. This couple realized they got the wrong sperm from a fertility clinic because their child doesn't resemble them. Wow. So now they're suing. Funny thing is, the mother looks kind of black, doesn't she? I guess she's Hispanic. Funny story, funny movie premise!

The Final Upgrade: Airline Moves Dead Body to 1st Class

ABC news London March 19, 2007 A first-class passenger on a flight from Delhi to London awoke to find the corpse of a woman who had died in the economy cabin being placed in a seat next to him, British Airways said Monday. The economy section of the flight was full, and the cabin crew needed to move the woman and her grieving family out of that compartment to give them some privacy, the airline said.

The first-class passenger, Paul Trinder, told the Sunday Times newspaper that he was sleeping during a February flight from India and woke up when the crew placed the dead woman in an empty seat near him.

"I didn't have a clue what was going on. The stewards just plonked the body down without saying a thing. I remember looking at this frail, sparrow-like woman and thinking she was very ill," the newspaper quoted Trinder as saying.
"When I asked what was going on, I was shocked to hear she was dead."

This sounds like a scene from a funny movie.

Argentina Has Miracles

An article appeared in Christian News Source on churches in Argentina that meet in theaters - large congregations of passionate worshippers, people of faith who see miracles of healing such as healing from AIDS. It reminded me that I heard about this a while back while making visits to the church in Toronto called the "Toronto Blessing." The leaders of that church had been visiting a church in Argentina prior to the outbreak of miracles in their church in Toronto that led to throngs of people coming to visit them between 1994 and 2004, still visiting them really. I heard that if you had a physical ailment, something major - something missing, you got healed in Argentina, instantly. There is something about a collective of people of faith that brings miracles. I had always wanted to go to Argentina and find the church they were talking about but never had the money to go. I once knew the actual church but no one to make contact with there and I don't know Spanish.

In America we miss out on radical miracles because of lack of faith, prosperity that causes us to rely on doctors and man instead of God, and pride that says that good can't come from somewhere else such as Argentina or even Canada. I brought a friend from the States to the Canadian church and she couldn't get a blessing from it because she didn't want to believe that something so good was happening in Canada and not in America, so it seemed.

Facing The Giants

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER BACK DOWN. NEVER LOSE FAITH. I just saw this movie last night and it is staying with me because it is a movie about miracles and is a miracle itself. It got all the way from a Southern church into movie theaters and into mainstream video stores.

It's all about beating unbeatable odds through faith in Christ and God stepping in and making your dreams come true. And it makes me scream out inside: "I want to see miracles!" I want the fire to come down and consume the water! I want real miracles! I need miracles. Do you?

I'm in worse shape than this coach was. I'm more in the state of the guy in the wheelchair. And there was something prophetic about the message for me when that man was under the banner that said 'believe" and he was rooting for his son. I felt he was rooting for all of us harder cases who need bigger than life miracles and the message was "believe!"
That little movie is a major milestone!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Slainte

Be prepared to toast on St. Patrick's Day!

For all those who were wondering what to say on March 17th, when they raise their glasses, here are a few phrases to remember:

May God bring good health to your enemies enemies

May you live to be a hundred years, with one extra year to repent.

May you be in heaven one half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.

There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head,
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How the hell can he drink when he's dead?

May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

May you get all your wishes but one,
So you always have something to strive for.

Here's to you,
here's to me,
the best of friends we'll always be.
But if we ever disagree,
forget you here's to ME!!

Here's to your coffin...
May it be built of 100 year old oaks which I will plant tomorrow.

Here's to you as good as you are,
Here's to me as bad as I am,
As good as you are,
And as bad as I am,
I'm as good as you are,
As bad as I am.

May the sons of your daughters smile up in your face.

Health, and long life to you
Land without rent to you
The partner of your heart to you
and when you die, may your bones rest in Ireland!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

An old Irish recipe for longevity:
Leave the table hungry.
Leave the bed sleepy.
Leave the bar thirsty.

I've drunk to your health in the pubs ,
I've drunk to your health in my home ,
I've drunk to your health so many times ,
That I've almost ruined my own.

May you never forget what is worth remembering,
Or remember what is best forgotten.

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The insight to know where you are,
and the foresight to know when you've gone too far.

May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.

May you never make an enemy
When you could make a friend 
Unless you meet a fox among your chickens.

May your fire be as warm as the weather is cold.

You Did The Right Thing!

There is no reason whatsoever that you feel horrible and guilty. Abortion is not immoral, just as homosexuality is not immoral. Clinton and Obama say so. Tell yourself over and over until you believe it. Sweet dreams.

Women in Emotionless Sexual Encounters? Yeh, Right!

ABC News reports that they are absolutely dead sure that young women are trading relationships for emotionless sexual encounters. What an oxy-moron: women/emotionless. And young men are saying, "more sex for me!" I'm telling you, it will never be "empowerment" for women like the feminists have lied to women. It will always come out that the men are in control of the situation, getting the casual sex that they want. It will always be that by learning casual sex, women will be giving men the "sure thing" they've always wanted, with no strings attached, no questions asked, basically playing into the "enemy's" hand - the non-committal male who wants to get what he wants from you and then wants to leave, leaving you with nothing - no life, no marriage, no home, no children, no future, no security.

The feminist lie: "Learn to be like a man. Get sex for pleasure from men, have fun, then leave. You won't lose. You can leave and have no consequences and no emotional scars."

Also, no matter what women try to do they won't change their basic nature. They won't become emotionless and detached, basically. God forbid. The way women relate won't change, basically. And attempts to make women ashamed of their basic nature are shameful themselves!

Most likely, living this way will prevent a woman from developing a deep commitment and having a lifelong partner. Most likely living this way comes from a fear of intimacy and commitment, as with men.

My Own "I Didn't Have An Abortion" Story

This was spurred on by Donny Prater's (A Man Coming Alive) latest post on abortion. I left a comment that I thought I should turn into a post.

When I was 27, probably because I was afraid of never having a child, I got pregnant. Now scared because I was single and with a man who would never become a good husband and father, I was contemplating abortion. However, my conscience just wouldn't allow it. I was not be able to fall asleep until I put it out of my mind. I planned to go ahead and have a baby, but I was crying out to God in my situation because it was not good.

A little while later, I had a miscarriage. I felt that God had answered my prayers. This is one of the few times in my life when I saw the hand of God at work. At that point, the miscarriage was a miracle that released me from a miserable situation, and made the decision an abortion, after all, but the decision was God's.

I have never regretted the decision to have the baby, and am so glad for the grace God gave me to have the conscience that said "no" to abortion, and I'll never forget the miracle of that miscarriage.

Another little miracle is that my sister had a son that was born almost exactly when my child would have been born, and then named me the godmother of that son. So, I got a nephew instead of a son that year who has been special to me since he has talents and interests in the same areas as I do.

$42,000! Pay Off Your Mortgage, or Buy A Purse? Tough Call

Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag, (World's Most Expensive) Handbag of the Day

I know she's ridiculous, but Rosie O'Donnell was funny on a talk show yesterday when she said she was going to go home and make this in her craft room for under $10. I tend to agree with her. Not only is it expensive, this is one ugly, tacky bag. And I seriously just sold my house which had a balance on the mortgage of exactly this amount!

We Shouldn't Apologize For Saying "Immoral"

I was impressed by General Pace's clear cut message about homosexuality(ABC News), saying that he thought it was immoral, and that he thought it didn't belong in the the military for that reason, just as adultery didn't belong there. Some gay activists have called for an apology, but that is so twisted. Should you apologize to someone for telling them it is immoral to commit adultery, if they are in adultery? You apologize as if you have injured them, when the opposite is true? You have told them it is immoral as a way to keep them from injuring themselves - you have done the only kind thing there is.

I am so refreshed by General Pace's strong stand and hope that he can stand strong against any "politically correct" homosexual agenda.

Do People Dislike Bush?

Good Lord, I don't know how the man does it. He always appears dapper and confident, smiling. Yet he has all these enemies, even when he's visiting neighbors in the South (Brazil), not just Muslims. I am sometimes overwhelmed by our enemies. Calling him a Nazi and a terrorist - a little ridiculous! Photos: Abc news

Movie Premise: Men Go Undercover Dressed In Burqas In Afghanistan

Oh! it just came true when a man was caught in Afghanistan according to an ABC news article, wearing a Burqa.

I thought of this as a movie similar to "Some Like it Hot" only the female garb is Burqas and it could be CIA men operating undercover.

Now if I only had a picture.

Birth Control For Squirrels?

Kingdavid's gotta love this one! Drudge Report has an article from the L.A. Times saying Santa Monica California is going to use birth control on its out of control squirrel population because animal lovers won't tolerate killing the squirrels.

Like Kingdavid said, why not just hand out condoms and literature rather than force the birth control on them? That would be kinder.

Minnesota Public Radio Forum on Global Warming Cancelled - Due to Blizzard

That's right! It was scheduled to be held in St Paul on March 1st, according to a Drudge Report article, just when a record snow fall hit the Twin Cities! Ha!
