Random Trivia, Good Website, and Thoughts

1) In 20 games and two seasons, the last two NFL quarterbacks to beat the Patriots have the last name "Manning." (Last year's AFC championship-Peyton and this year's Super Bowl-Eli.)
2) "The Three Musketeers" is written by Alexandre Dumas (Not the pronunciation from Shawshank Redemption.)
3) The most published, printed, and stolen book in the world is the Bible.
4) Every 15 second someone will die as a result of drinking dirty water.


This (http://www.angryalien.com) could be the funniest site I have seen in a long time.


I am slowly reading through Yoder's book "The Politics of Jesus." In light of the recent climate of political propagation, I figure it would be at least interesting to figure out what Jesus may have to say about all of this (through at least one man's eyes.) Here is my new motto on politics and life: The less we allow God's word and spirit to steer the direction of all our decisions; the more we will be blown by the winds of culture. Take that however you want to.

At the very least, I ask all people who claim the name of Christ as their savior, model for example, and ultimate president/king/lord to remove harsh words of judgment toward any constituent of any political party. In the end, God is not a democrat, republican, or libertarian. For that matter, God is not white, middle-class American. He came as a middle-eastern, Jewish, construction-working peasant. And, if anything, God is a theocrat.
