The Pope’s “good old boy” club has struck again
I know it’s been awhile since my last post I was keeping my rants to a minimum, but this morning I saw a story in the New York Times and I could not keep my thoughts to myself. The Vatican has decided that some Nuns are too liberal and need to be reeled in. The [...]
Come Out Come Out Whoever YOU Are.
Another conservative Republican has come out of the closet, Paul Babeu, Pinal County Sheriff. He actually outed himself, at a press conference in front of his office with trusted deputies and supporters as a backdrop. Only in Arizona. Now you might expect that there would be backlash from his supporters but oh no, after all [...]
Targeting Penney’s Makes No “Cents”
Once again the extreme Christian movement has an empty cause to rally around attack J. C. Penny for choosing a new spokesperson…Ellen DeGeneres. The store that most of us grew up with has decided to re-market itself with a new slogan “Fair and Square” and even going so far as saying “We’re going to treat [...]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I grew up in the generation where Aretha Franklin taught us the meaning of R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer did not get the same training I did. I was shocked to see the photo of her wagging her finger at the President of the United States. On Wikipedia it says that “The index finger [...]
How many more?
I just read about another young person taking their life. I know that we have told them over and over that it gets better. I think we should tell them the truth, life does have its bumps and there are moments where you feel like you don’t have a friend in the world, but it [...]
We also have a Dream
Every year on the Sunday closest to Martin Luther King day our church, Community Church of Hope is treated to the delivery of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. We all sit in awe as Robbynne provides a stirring rendition of those words that were delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, words [...]
Hate, the new Ecumenical movement
It wasn’t too long ago that different churches decided it was time to let bygones be bygones. To focus what they had in common and not their differences. This was the start of the Ecumenical movement and led to many positive changes in doctrine and worship. I was involved in the Ecumenical movement when I [...]
Cupcake Wars
One of my favorite shows on the Food Network is Cupcake Wars. It’s one of those shows you love to hate, I don’t always agree with the Judges and sometimes I wonder how the bakers have stayed in business. The premise of the show is simple four cupcake makers are brought to a kitchen studio, [...]
It’s not only the devil who wears Prada
The Pope wears red shoes and knows you have to lift up your hem so that you don’t catch it with your shoes. The Catholic Church is led by a man who wears the same color of shoes as the little girl from Kansas who was whisked away by a tornado in that book and [...]
