So I never really noticed the little link up toward the top right corner when you are viewing a feed in Google Reader. It says ”show details” (which if click magically becomes a ”hide details” link). Being of the curious sort, and willing to take risks, I clicked that little link while viewing my blog’s RSS feed. That little link gave me a few details. Actually two to be exact, and they are as follows:

1. This feed has 0.0 posts per week and


2. There are 11 subscribers to this feed

So this post is two fold. 1. Bring up the post count. 2. I’m bummed that there are only 11 subscribers in Google Reader and since this blog has to be more popular than that (it has to right?) then I must assume my readers are terribly ill informed and don’t know about Google Reader.

Let me assure you that Google Reader is the coolest thing since sliced bread! It lets you keep up with any RSS enabled website without having to check up on the website constantly. For instance, I subscribe to 95 RSS feeds, many of them blogs of folks I like, friends etc. Anytime a blog I subscribed to in Google Reader has a new post it shows up in my Google Reader thanks to that nifty thing called RSS!

Try it! You’ll love it!

That should help my post count

From Foxnews:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 5-year-old daughter of Grammy-winning Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.

Read the full story.

I have had the opportunity to meet and work with the Chapmans from time to time in my line of work. They really are a wonderful, Godly family. And I believe the Lord has really used Steven Curtis in many ways, one of which is Shaohannah’s Hope.

My heart goes out to them during this time and I would ask God’s people to pray for them.

Well apparently if you try to save a co-worker you get fired, according to SuperAmerica company policy:

It’s enough to make the blood boil.

Okay, so they can hire and fire anyone they want for any reason (or at least you should be able to do that, though people don’t think so any more… anti discrimination laws and all that). So they can choose to fire this man, and I can choose to shop elsewhere for gas!

Yes, Frank Pavone is a Roman Catholic Priest, and I’m a protestant. So sue me!

This is a very good video and I recommend you watch it, however, discretion may be advised for younger children.

I was made aware of this video thanks to Pastor McDonald’s post here. Speaking of Pastor McDonald, I have been blessed by his vigilance as he posts the abortion statistics for Peoria every week.

The wholesale slaughter of these human beings is certainly one of he biggest blights upon our nation today and I fear and tremble at the judgement God must surely deal to this nation!

Watch the video!

Okay, so I was listening to Phil Valentine on SuperTalk 99.7 (Nashville area station), and I heard him talking about how the Government is mandating the use of Ethanol in gasoline and how 30% of our corn is now used for the production of Ethanol (I also read it somewhere, can’t remember where now). Of course as a result food prices go up and fuel prices go up (and like any conservative talk show host he was outraged!).

You see, what we have here is the government meddling in things it has no business with! Whenever you add the government in on the mix, doesn’t matter what it is… unless it has to do with the biblical place of government which is punishing evil doers, then it’s just a mess! Just take a look around in this country and you can see this phenomenon at work. Anything our government touches falls all to pieces. But that’s what happens when you interfere with Capitalism, it’s just not Capitalism anymore!

You know what’s crazy? As the government messes our Capitalism up more and more, people start screaming more and more for the government to come in and fix the problem. I hear it all the time, “The government needs to do something about the economy.”

O yeah… like what? See the problem is any problem we are having with our economy is already because of government involvement and regulations. They can’t fix something they aren’t supposed to be messing with. And yet it seems that the driving issue for most Americans in this election is “what will the candidate do for the economy?” I can answer that, if he’s a Godly candidate that knows the Biblical place of government, and if he understands capitalism, he will do NOTHING for the economy except LEAVE IT STINKING ALONE!

I hear all this non-sense about sending Americans some sum of money (I’ve heard different numbers on the amount of money, I think it may vary depending on some criterion or other), this is of course tax money. And I’ve even heard Pres. Bush refer to it as a booster shot in the arm for the economy. It really just makes me sick. It sounds a lot like a re-distribution of wealth to me.

You know, there is a system wherein the government interferes with the economy, and where wealth is re-distributed. It’s called SOCIALISM!

As you can see by the baby-gaga ticker right below the nav-bar of the site, we are already counting down to when our second baby will be born. Yes, we’re super excited! So, if you are reading this via RSS, get yourself to the site and take a look at the ticker!

In other news, I did away with the links page and added all our links to the side bar. The links page just wasn’t working out the way I had envisioned it. I’ve actually made some other changes to the side bar too, mostly just adding stuff. Be sure to check it out!

Peace… Live long and Proper… all that good stuff!
