I was recently surprised by obvious injustice and error that I had previously failed to see in Joseph's government policies.  Talk about unintended consequences!

The new is older than the old

Submitted by christopher on Thu, 2008-10-16 08:08

I've always wondered as to the the purpose of placing the Israelites under the law, when God knew full well that they could never receive salvation by it.  Why the old covenenant and then the new covenant?  This morning I understood Galatians 3: righteousness through faith predates the law.  Paul declares that the law cannot ammend that covenant: righteousness by faith.

Surprise, surprise

Submitted by christopher on Mon, 2008-10-06 08:28

What a surprise (not really) to pull up CNN and ABC news this morning, only to find headlines about how the bailout hasn't worked, and market values are still falling.  When will folks join their saying that "Ron Paul has been right all along," with taking his advice.

buy beans

Submitted by christopher on Fri, 2008-10-03 13:50

Well, the bailout passed.  Things may get better for the next week or two, then it's going down -- a long ways.  I think I'll go buy another bag of kidney beans.

P.S.  I'm pleased to announce that my house representative voted against the bailout both times.  Can't say the same for my sold-out senators.

morbid curiosity

Submitted by christopher on Thu, 2008-10-02 21:42

Somer really wanted to hear Biden and Palin debate.  I wasn't so sure, but then I listend to Couric's interview with Palin, and (I think it must be something like what drew the Roman's to watch criminals eaten by lions) a morbid curiosity got the better of me.  Alas!

Good news in the house!!!

Submitted by christopher on Mon, 2008-09-29 15:24

Christina called me a few minutes ago to excitedly tell me that the house destroyed the $700B bailout bill!  I couldn't believe me ears.  I pulled up several main-stream news sites, and sure enough, it's defeated.  Of course the MSM made it sound like a bad thing: "House fails to pass Rescue."  Well, for once the American people win.
