Back from Arizona! As always, a beautiful place. Especially our "short list" of homes we are deciding on.

People (and pulpits) being split in two by lightning? Must be true if a friend of a friend read about it from an old newspaper article..... I've also hear from reliable sources that Walt Disney is frozen in a vault beneath the Pirates ride in Orlando. There IS a reason that sites like http://snopes.com/ exist.

All the while there are daily stories of God changing peoples lives around. I think the testimony of a 20-something girl addicted to meth who is now a cop herself and telling other young people about the dangers of drugs is truly amazing!

Either way, long story. Not that different from yours, actually, up until 8 to 10 years ago, or so.

See post #54 for an intro to why I don't accept it all, anymore.

I think you do. But you don't want to.

Where is post #54

Why didn't old Bennie Hinn mention this or Paula White or the many TV religious con men. This would be a real money making story.

By the way I never heard how the pulpit thing edified the body of Christ.
Back in those days the media wasn't like they are now. And they sure wouldn't find out about anything happening in a federal prison. All the guards saw was lightning. They didn't actually see the man struck.

I second that!
NEVER ever ever a good idea, always a BAD idea to try to say anything against a holy GOD.

EVER.

Ditto, the thing is the media doesn't side with JESUS., they delight in spreading news of a BAD nature, you know crimes, disasters, taxes, serial murderers, OR celebrity gossip, etc.etc.
I rarely ever watch t.v. news., nor read much about 'the world' news its mostly depressing.

No any GOOD NEWS having to do with our savior, is OURS to spread., and so we should.

I guess this means that if I had to call you this past Sunday, you wouldn't have answered!! I was in your area stuck in the post-pileup traffic!

Glad you are home, however. We are having a heat wave.

I see, you want to understand before committing to something.
