Williamsburg

Cyndi and I once again visited WIlliamsburg yesterday. We have some more pictures posted. To see them, click here.

By the way, in a previous post, David–a guy we know from Columbus–asked about the glass harmonica. I've never heard of any such thing. Anyone have any ideas? David, want to chime in?

Tour de France

Last year around tour time, I got interested in watching. I’m watching again this year. I know there is some strategy involved (think chess on bikes) but I don’t get it. In any other sport, you want to get in the lead and stay there. If you aren’t you get worried. But in today’s section, Lance was way way back from the stage winner. Was he worried? He didn’t act like it. In fact, you could say he was glad to get rid of the yellow jersey for a while. I don’t get it. Anyone have any insignts?

[Update 2013-01-18 06:58:05Lance has admitted to doping.

Dairy Industry

Agape Press is reporting that Ellison Bakery has pulled its adds from a trade publication.

For years Ellison Bakery has advertised extensively in Dairy Field magazine, a trade publication for the dairy industry. Recently, however, Dairy Field ran an editorial critical of conservative pro-family groups such as the American Family Association for censuring Kraft Foods for its pro-homosexual policies. AFA has particularly targeted Kraft lately because of the food company's sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.

Upon seeing the editorial criticizing the pro-family group, Ellison Bakery general manager Todd Wallin quickly pulled the company's $20,000 advertising account from the magazine. "This is not a personal attack against people who have chosen this type of lifestyle," he hastens to explain, adding that homosexuals, like all people "are created in the image of God." Nevertheless, the executive adds, "I don't support things that would promote people making those bad choices."

If I bought dairy cookies, I would buy them from Ellison.

Alta WV

Ok, who knew there was an Alta, WV? When Cyndi and I moved to Richmond, my dad and I drove right by it. And guess what we were talking about? Skiing at Alta, UT. Incredible! Anyway, here is a picture of the exit sign. Exit 161 on I64 east of Charleston, WV.

The above was from the FBIS.

We need to pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Saudi Arabia. While we are at it, let's also pray for King Faud. Imagine if he were to get saved!

London, People Hurt, and Those Who Did It

We need to pray for the people in London who were injured in the bombing yesterday. We also need to pray for the families of the injured and killed. We need to pray for the leadership of the countries involved. We also need to pray for those who planned and carried out the bombing

I can hear the reaction now. What?! Pray for those evil people? Yes! I am assuming they are lost and on their way to hell. They may have never heard of the love of Jesus. We need to pray that God would allow them to come into contact with them who can share the Gospel with them. Pray that when that happens, God opens their spiritual eyes, they see the truth and accept Jesus.
