Da Vinci Code

I figured it was time to put some info about the Da Vanci Code on the Blog.
The movie comes out today. I'm sure it will be multi-million dollor box office hit. Even though the critics are rating this film poorly, it will be seen as an overwhelming success. This film is a far cry from the success of the movie The Passion of Christ a couple years ago.

I'm sure most of you know the premise of the movie, claiming that Christ was not divine and married Mary Magadelene, had a daughter. That the Catholilc church came up with this coverup. Da Vinci encoded secrets in his paintings reveling this truth.

All of these is fiction. People will believe what they want. The skeptics will use thsis to discredit the Bible.

Christ will stand. This is no more than a seducing spirit giving hersey.

Don't let this move shake you.

Mother's Day

This is a pic of Mom (Mary Farrell) and Barbara

God has blessed me with wondeful Godly parents. I am still blessed to have my Mom. She is a very special lady. This last year she has suffered some heart problems, but God has never left her. She is a avid prayer warrior, and I thank God for those prayers. I also want to say happy mother's day to my wife the mother of my kids....Paula. I love both of you.

American Idol

Ok, I have avoided the American Idol subject on my blog. After tonights resuls, I have to address the AI issue. My pick is Taylor to be the next Idol. I think Chris being voted off was so wrong. He was not the worst last night, it was Katherine.
Although, Katherine is proably the best singer...She is not the best entertainer. Taylor has the overall advantage at being the entertainer and singer. Chris was not my favorite, but definitly should not have been voted off.

This was a shame....Now we can't have the finals we could have.

Paula update.....

Today, we went to Paula's heart doctor. They tested her pacemaker/difibulator and everything was fine. They told her it has never fired, and she only had 2 episodes of arithmia (heart fluttering/racing). Dr. Suresh is recommending her to the transplant department of University of Cincinnati Hospital. They are scheduling an appointment with Dr. Wagner, the head of the transplant division. According to Dr. Suresh, she will have a series of test, and be evaluated for placement on the transplant list. This is just the start of a long process. As we find out more I will update on the blog. Please keep her in your prayers.

Do you ever feel like life is a Roller Coaster?

I am not a fan of roller coasters. I've only road one twice in my life. Now, I will try all the other amusment park rides, but not the coasters. Paula, on the other hand loves to ride them. I would rather ride a ferris wheel. Paula does not like a ferris wheel.

What am I getting at? Well, my life lately seems like a roller coaster ride. It seems like it takes forever to get to the top, and the pressure is on, while speeding downhill.

I would much rather just keep circling, at a easy speed, like a ferris wheel.

Yet, there is joy in knowing that one day the ride will stop...and will be done with the presure for evermore. Our day of rest is coming.

The Church of Christ Commerical

I don't know if you have seen the Church of Christ Commerical dealing with the inclusive gospel.

If you haven't check out this link commerical.

My friend Wayne, last night mentioned this commerical in his preaching at our district youth ralley. He brought up the point that this was no more than a slur at the church's that preach that homosexuality, and other sinful lifestyles are wrong. This commerical implys we exclude them from our churches.

The idea is that we do not want to exclude them, we welcome them, yet we do not want them to continue in sin. We want to see them converted, and turn from there sinful way.

If it makes people mad that we preach the truth...Oh well, its stil the truth. We are try to preach to get them out of the fire.

Wayne, keep preaching the truth. I'll keep preaching the truth. No matter the cost.
