Hollywood and Blasphemy

Hi everyone,

I have just watched a video by Ray Comfort (Host of Way of the Master) who interviewed Christian people in Hollywood, asking them different questions, such as if they watched R-rated movies (most of them said yes) and if they went to movies that took God's name in vain even though they knew that it did so (some of them said yes). There were other questions amongst these, but what Ray Comfort was trying to get across is that many movies have lots of blasphemy in them. There are also many Christians who contribute to the movie-watching population (over 70%!!!!!!!!!). Therefore, if blasphemy is against the Ten Commandments, shouldn't we then avoid movies that had curse words and said God's name in vain?

Think about it. If the whole 70% of Christian viewers basically boycotted the movies that said God's name in vain and had curse words, it would radically effect the Hollywood industry (possibly costing millions of dollars). Therefore, Hollywood could start to make movies with less blasphemy. If that is done, then it would effect the American population at large, possibly persuading them to not blaspheme God's name as much.

While we're not trying to force Hollywood out of business, we ARE trying to persuade it to go back to the standard it had up to 1968, which was good language. Can I get an Amen here, people?

Now then, go on over to http://www.hollywoodandgod.com/ by Mr. Comfort himself (I love that last name!) to see what I'm talking about.

And if you want to come back here for refreshments, I'll have a Friday Funny for you! :)

And now, the Friday Funny...............From The Mouths of Children part 2

Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a tic tac.

Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time.

A pencil without an eraser may as well just be a pen.

Sometimes your best move is blocked by your own checkers.

Your room gets smaller as you get bigger.

If a tree had apples last year, don't expect pears this year.

A snow day is more fun than a vacation day.All libraries smell the same.

If you throw a ball at someone, they'll probably throw it back.

Don't nod on the phone.

Happy Friday, everybody!

Where have I Been?

Friday Funnies

Hi everyone,
For those of you who are wondering what happened to the Thursday blog post, I decided to delete. Through the wise counsel of wise friends, I realized that the post wasn't the right way to say what I wanted to say. My apologies to those who were misled by the post. Instead of being "rebels," we should be examples to those around us of Christ's love. We should stand out not by ranting and raving about how America's going down the drain, but by being kind, loving, humble, patient, peaceful and gentle. In these things among others, will we be a shining light to the world.

That said, let's get onto Friday Funnies!

This is a joke I got from a classmate:

A person was walking beside a psychiatric hospital, when he heard someone inside saying, "34..............34...............34............34," over and over again. As he continued to walk beside the wall, the voice got louder and louder. Finally, the person discovered a hole in the wall. It was at eye-level, and was large enough to peep through.

The person peeped through it, and immediately, he got poked in the eye!

Then you could hear someone say, "35.......35.........35...........35......."

My Thoughts On Life

Hi everyone,


I haven't been blogging for a bit. I need to get back to that. I am resolved to not abandon my blog for months on end, leaving you readers in suspense! Here are some things that have been happening lately:



New York fall fashions are looking more (gasp!) modest? - Do I hear the "Hallelujah Chorus" coming on?



Hooray! Al-Qaeda in Iraq is basically crushed!

There's going to be a Ladies' Night at Covenant Life Church, where the main speaker is going to be Carolyn Mahaney herself! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, her husband, C. J. Mahaney, preached a great sermon yesterday! I wish you would have been there!

My cat is getting mischievous..............and fatter. Despite her belly that hung beneath her, Heather somehow managed to jump up onto the kitchen counter - OFF LIMITS for kitties!

I found this adorable if not scary picture of a toddler and his mom's feet.

This is funny but awful at the same time. Poor Mom.

This uproariously funny video:

Whoo! I'm already tuckered from laughing so much at the video! Goodnight, everyone. Pleasant dreams. Snuggle into your little bed, lay your sleepy head on those soft pillows, pull the covers up around you, and say "Goodnight" to God. God will always be watching you.

Cheese Puffs and Politics

Hi everyone,

Now you might think that the title above is a peculiar title, but it has meaning to me! First off, the cheese puffs. When I was younger, I couldn't eat cheese puffs because it made me sick (either it was the cheese powder or I was a little piggy!). Lately, I've discovered that either my stomach's aversion to this delicious treat has disappeared, or I have grown up and learned to chew my food! Yesterday, I gloried in this new-found discovery by eating almost an entire bag of Herr's Cheese-Puffs, and man, were they good! Here's a picture of them!

Now then - the second part of the title. Politics. On Sunday, I heard a sermon by Josh Harris on a section in 1 Corinthians - the "Love Chapter". Josh told us that we were to be kind to everyone, including those we don't like very much. Now I am a staunch Conservative (I'm not even old enough to vote yet!) and believe me, the thought of a particular politician flew to my mind, but I will not tell who he/she is. I realized that I needed to be kind to those who are my political "enemies".

I think that George Washington said it best in his Farewell Address, when he warned for political parties to not be bloodthirsty enemies. How did we respond to that? We did the exact opposite, and we're still reaping the bitter consequences. If only we could all be more loving towards each other, regardless if we're a Conservative or Liberal!


I suggest that whenever we hear that something goes wrong in the political world, we should not seethe against the perpetrator in anger, but pray for them in love. God listens to our prayers, and He is greatly pleased when we love our enemies. It can be hard (I am no exception to the rules; belive me, my blood can boil when it comes to politics), but we can ask God for help and try to be shining examples.



But that doesn't mean that we stay silent. We should not only pray for those on the other side of the political spectrum, but also set out to be an example for them. We should also try to "fight back peacefully". This means that while we should fight to keep the morals in America, we should not frown at a person protesting the Iraq War.

Liberals, I'm not excluding you either. Even though Conservatives might not agree with what you have to say, be kind to them! We're all human beings, and we suffer from the disease of hatred - the remedy for this is God's love.

So I propose that tomorrow be, "Go Hug A Liberal/Conservative Day!" Seriously though, DON'T hug them. They might think you're a little creepy. But if it's a relative, then by all means!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to *ahem* find a relative to hug!

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." - 1 John 4:7
