January 12th, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

Following up on all the thoughts about Revelation and the obsession with the “end times,” we can all rest easy. Waiting in the grocery line, I saw that the tabloid The Sun has the scoop we’ve been waiting for. “New Dead Sea Scrolls Shocker! 7 SIGNS END TIMES BEGIN IN 2007!”

… and other nonsense

I’ve found that my mind is on a household that we saw. Through circumstances that would take too long […]
