Generous God vs. cheap church - UMC.org

via www.umc.org

 

At a stewardship seminar I recently attended, Nelson Searcy of the Journey Church in New York City said that a theology of abundance underlies everything his church does in terms of stewardship. If we expect people to be generous in their giving to the church, he said, then the church needs to model that generosity and sense of abundance.

Randy Alexander, Ninth Republican Senate Candidate | The Tolbert Report

An absurdly crowded Republican field for the nomination for U.S. Senate could get a bit more crowded this week as Randy Alexander from Fayetteville will make some sort of announcement on Tuesday. An email sent to area tea party activists this past week says that Alexander will be making a “new candidate announcement” on Tuesday, January 12 and lists him as a “Candidate for U.S. Senate.”

Woods says he let family down - Golf - Yahoo! Sports

“I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves,” Woods said on his Web site. “I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.”

I really like what my brother David Alexander had to say about this Tiger situation on his blog, Davids Bucket

I don’t know what happened early Friday morning. The truth is, it’s none of my business what happened on Friday morning at Tiger’s house. My gut tells me me that the details of what actually happened that night are not quite in line with the minimal story that the Woods family has shared with the media. Busting out the back window with a golf club in order to remove Tiger from a crash that happened at under 35 miles an hour doesn’t make much sense.

But it’s not my job to make sense of that. It’s not my job to try to figure that out.

It’s none of my business.

Jonathan Baggett: Homecoming King

The Fierce Urgency of Now!

"The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 23 years, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda (GoU) have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The GoU's attempt to protect its citizens from this rebel militia has largely failed, resulting in an entire generation of youth that has never known peace."

Joseph Kony for the last 23 years has been "offing" anyone and everyone that he so desires. More recently his actions have been more brutal and he has been abducting innocent children and making them be child soldiers and if they don't go and don't kill when Kony says kill then they will be killed. If they escape from their abduction and Kony's army (the Lord's Resistance Army) finds them, then they will re-abduct just to kill them. 

I mean come on. Enough is enough! He's killing people and he's been doing it for 23 years and now its spreading to the surrounding countries of Northern Uganda, but there is a way to help. 

First. Go Here!

Second. Sign the petition 

Third. Give $5 bucks of your money to help the children

Fourth, Fifth, etc. Email, call, or send letters to your congressmen and congresswomen and your state representatives and ask them to sign the bill we now have in play, "LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act"

We have to stand up for those that can't stand up for themselves.

President Obama

That’s right run for the hills! President Obama is the kids of America the importance of taking responsibility for their education! OMG! What the heck is he thinking? We just cannot allow our President talking about the importance of education. This cannot be allowed! How dare he!

Really?
