Good Stuff

***I'm really tired of all the negative stuff going around. Here's some good news from the UK:

A Belfast bakery run by evangelical Christians was not obliged to make a cake emblazoned with the message “support gay marriage”, the supreme court has ruled, overturning a £500 damages award imposed on it.

The five justices on the supreme court – Lady Hale, Lord Mance, Lord Kerr, Lord Hodge and Lady Black – found the bakery did not refuse to fulfil Lee’s order because of his sexual orientation and therefore there was no discrimination on those grounds. The business relationship between Lee and Ashers did not involve people being refused jobs or services because of their religious faith, the judges added.

Of course nobody should be forced to produce a product against their religious beliefs. The plaintiffs are not being denied something they can't get somewhere else. Good sense prevailed this time.

***Now that's a hero...

A soldier whose North Carolina home was ransacked while he helped with Hurricane Florence relief efforts last month has donated most of the money that was raised to replace what he lost.m
National Guardsman Luis Ocampo told PEOPLE magazine that the fundraiser had brought in "more than we expected, and [we] felt that it was our responsibility to show someone that same kindness that so many showed us."

***And the best news of all...

Romans 8:38-39 King James Version (KJV)

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Bullying/Free Speech

***I have to get this off my chest. I have avoided the myriad threads in Facebook about the tragedy that took place in Richmond last week as I didn't want to deal with the inevitable silliness that would follow my posting my opinion. The boy's mother is the one who called in the tip, and the police where there when he arrived. She no doubt saved several lives, the boy in question had two firearms and explosives in his possession. He obviously was planning to do a lot of harm. Since then, however, there has been an overabundance of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Of course it's tragic and awful, you would have to be nuts to think otherwise. BUT, if the Dennis middle schoolers did not feel like victims before, they certainly do now. Counselors, days out of school, free T-shirts, free day at the local recreational complex, endless worrying about their feelings...not terrible things, but come on. So many are wailing about bullying and how it has to stop and oh, what a

Happy Frigid New Year!

***Wow, hasn't been this cold here in Indiana in several years. It was -14 yesterday, right now it's a balmy 2 degrees. I think it's supposed to get back to normal this weekend. Right now the teens is sounding pretty good! ***I read the neatest thing in my devotional this morning by Oswald Chambers : The Bible is a relation of facts, the truth of which must be tested. Life may go on all right for a while, when suddenly a bereavement comes, or some crisis; unrequited love or a new love, a disaster, a business collapse, or a shocking sin, and we turn up our Bibles again and God’s word comes straight home, and we say, “Why, I never saw that there before.” Shade of His Hand, 1223 L It is difficult to relate to an unbeliever the deep-seated comfort and joy that comes with one's salvation. Even when things are awful, and that happens at one time or another to everyone, I have a "peace that passes all understanding." (Phil. 4:7).  That is not a cli

Jumping on the Low Carb Bandwagon

Image
***Actually, we've been here before, both Mark & I. The bandwagon is quite familiar with us. Low carb eating works great, as long as you stick with it. You can't think of it as a temporary fix, though. If you go off of it, the weight comes right back. Take it from one who knows. :-) Today I'm going to try "Cloud Bread." Apparently that's a "thing," but I only heard about it yesterday. I hope it's as good as it looks. ***Well, the "Schumer Shutdown" happened yesterday. At least the Republicans so far aren't letting them hang it around their necks. The Dems own this one because they will not deal regarding illegal immigrants...they need their votes. And don't tell me illegal immigrants don't vote, of course they do. They aren't supposed to, but they do, and if they're given amnesty they'll be able to do it legally. We all know how they'll vote, too, that's why the Democrats are desperate to make
