Can't remember many details from 1990 - 1999/ Just a bunch of fuzzy memories.

Mine was the New Years Eve Deal on Beale Street. Even tho I was drinking, too many power drinkers and folks that couldn't stay totally vertical while holding their drinks knocking around... I finally climbed up on a concrete highwat divider and watched from above as these morons kept falling into each other and then wanting to fight about it.

The British learn French, the Australians study Japanese, and the Americans prefer Spanish. Why not decide on a common language, taught worldwide, in all nations?<BR/><BR/>It is totally relevant then, that UNESCO will meet in Paris, on 15th December, to acknowlege Esperanto, as a living language, in conjunction with the International Year of Languages<BR/><BR/>An interesting video can be seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670.

For instance, there have been laws passed that have allowed teenagers to get abortions without parental consent. Also, recently a ban on partial birth abortions was passed. In addition, President Bush has issued some executive orders that have done things like limit State Dept funding for abortions. So even though there haven't been any really major moves (although I'd probably argue the partial birth ban was very major), there is still a lot at stake.<BR/><BR/>As for the Palin comment, I'll double-post this part on a related entry on your blog from Monday...<BR/><BR/>I have several friends who have had kids outside of marriage. My brother fathered a child at 16 years old. At no point in time has anyone tried to blame my parents for this. My brother's decision was a strike against HIS moral character, not my parents' character. My parents raised us to avoid these types of situations, but we all know how well teenagers listen to authority, especially when hormones are involved. The thing that Gov. Palin should be commended for is not looking at her grandchild as "punishment". Everyone makes mistakes. It's how we choose to deal with them that shows our true character.<BR/><BR/>I think if Adrian Rogers were alive, he would say the same. The sins of the father are at times passed down to the son, not the other way around.Danny Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13503744772100622983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23348291.post-51600981764577913322008-09-16T08:33:00.000-05:002008-09-16T08:33:00.000-05:00Interesting how things that mattered to me 8 and 4 years ago have shifted.<BR/><BR/>Since I turned voting age 20 years ago I just have not seen huge shifts in some of the social issues-- despite people freaking out on both sides no one has had their homes invaded by the ATF and had their guns confiscated (the ones that are legally owned that is), abortion laws have not drastically changed, etc.<BR/><BR/>The gay marriage thing continues to baffle me. In fact, any non-Christian wishing to get married confuses me since marriage is an institution put in place by God. I guess you're right, take the monetary benefits away and people prolly won't be so interested in it.<BR/><BR/>However, I am confused how a group of people (conservative Christian voters) who would typically find a teenage, out-of-marriage pregnancy to be a strike against one's moral character suddenly acceptable in Palin's case.<BR/><BR/>Man, I so wish Adrian Rogers was alive because I would love to hear his take on that one.Gary Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00350049975843904022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23348291.post-79761368131030648562008-09-10T22:15:00.000-05:002008-09-10T22:15:00.000-05:00Danny, Found your blog through John Thomas' blog.

I had one of those emergency moments. Where you run into a stall, and do not care how bad it is.<BR/><BR/>Well, I also had just purchased a magazine. So I ran in. start my business and started reading. <BR/><BR/>Well 15 minutes later I look up at the door to the stall. written in Sharpie is this: "If your horny tap your foot, show your junk, and kneel for a bj"<BR/><BR/>Well as I carefully gathered my senses I searchs the depths of my memory and realized I may have tapped my foot while reading my magazine.<BR/><BR/>I look around. I'm in the middle stall. Theres someone in the stall to my left. And its got a hole big enough to look through!!!!<BR/><BR/>So apparantly tapping your foot was around just as long :)<BR/><BR/>I decided that not wiping well enough was worth leaving the stall right then :)John D Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126256594098698908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23348291.post-70318057529051539812007-08-30T09:49:00.000-05:002007-08-30T09:49:00.000-05:00THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH GIVING EACH PERSON $61K IS THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE (NOT ALL) WOULD SIT IN THEIR GOV'T PROVIDED TRAILER AND DRINK THEIR 'FO-TIES', SMOKE THEIR 'BLUNTS', AND -WHATEVER- AWAY THAT MONEY, THEN AGAIN SIT ON CNN AND MSNBC COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW THE GOVERNMENT HAS FORGOTTEN THEM, AND HOW THEY ARE VICTIMS...

The Democratic party is home to every form of depravity...they own it and flaunt it! Where do they get off wagging the finger at a Republican for stuff they themselves do every day? It's almost like saying, "If you're going to do that, you need to be a Democrat!" <BR/><BR/>So, the next time you go off the deep end into moral depravity, switch to the Democrat party before getting caught. The press will respect your "privacy" and your actions will pale in comparison to those of your party leaders.

Not always. Sometimes there is a reason to seek new leadership. Where there has been known leadership failures, one mustn't always forgive. Had noone "bickered" about the Paul Williams incidents, there would have been, in my opinion, a continued cover-up to protect the institution.<BR/><BR/>Had noone "bickered" about other incidents, the accountability would have never been an issue. Bickering, as some have calledd it, can be constructive criticism. When that constructive criticism is rejected by the leadership of a congregation, they open themselves to further criticism.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, that criticism has grown beyond constructive, but the leadership could see this also as a reason for more accountability. When openness is the rule, rather than the exception, critics have less that they can "bicker" about.<BR/><BR/>I am not a member of Bellevue, but I have a vested interest in her, and I pray that the Lord will glorify Himself through this situation, in the way He sees fit. I only wish the l;eadership at Bellevue could see that doing the right thing (integrity) on the front end can usually stems the tide of all criticisms.
