I guess my pet peeve is when churches feel they have to incorporate every new social trend into the church services in some way. A friend was telling me her churches sermons for the past few months was the gospel "according to the Beatles". I was like...excuse me? Of course there is the U2...

only here though...check out what "the Jerusalem Post" had to say: Caroline B. Glick is the deputy managing editor of the Jerusalem Post and the senior fellow for Middle East Affairs at the Center for Security Policy. Her book, Shackled Warrior, Israel and the Global Jihad was released earlier...

That whole column is hilarious.... but scary that Americans are viewing him as the messiah. Europe certainly isn't fooled...Germany was fooled once before by an egomaniac that wanted to rule the world. Except of course, for this one guy our wonderful media keep showing over and over and...

Pick out the "We Are The World" lyrics vs. Obama speech lines in Berlin today. A: "We can't go on pretending day by day that someone, somewhere will soon make a change." B: "This is the moment we must help answer the call." C: "But if you just believe there's no way we can fall." D. "The...

and the hits just keep coming... Today: QUESTIONER: "A year ago in South Carolina you said you would meet, in your first year as president, with President Ahmadinejad without preconditions. Is there anything you have heard today here in discussions with Israeli leaders that has made you...

almost forgot one.... At the fabled King David Hotel this morning, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, had breakfast with Israeli Defense Minister and Labor leader Ehud Barak. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was accompanied by senior advisers Dennis Ross, Jim Steinberg, former U.S...

and for today's round... Mr Obama stated: "Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don’t have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a...

We are all individuals, but also part of one body, the church. the church is our hospital, our ship, and together we travel through our life while also retaining our individuality. Every Orthodox person on this site - their salvation is like my salvation to me and we all take our part on that...

I certainly don't know any of those husbands! :) not that ya know, we sit around and talk about that kind of thing over coffee after Liturgy. like it was said, I think it is a matter of each person's conscience. "the marriage bed is undefiled", yes?

I think sick like ginger ale...;)
