THE SHALLOWEST GENERATION by James Quinn November 3, 2008 The Baby Boom Generation will never be mistaken for the Greatest Generation that survived the Great Depression and defeated evil in a World War that killed 72 million people. I hate to tell you Boomers, but putting a yellow ribbon on the back of your $50,000 SUV is not sacrifice. Our claim to fame is living way beyond our means for the last three decades, to the point where we have virtually bankrupted our...

Scripture: Proverbs 13:1,20,24 "A wise son accepts (hears ESV) his fathers discipline, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke." "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently." Observation: I am reminded this morning of the inspired wisdom contained and to be learned in the book of Proverbs, how great it is to have the wisdom of God revealed to us in His WORD....

Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats? by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892 An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it during the past few years. It has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to...

Samuel Adams Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual - or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country. [Samuel Adams, The Writings of Samuel Adams, Harry Alonzo Cushing, editor (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1907), Vol. IV, p. 256, in the Boston Gazette on April 16, 1781.] ...

Having never cast a rod and reel all by himself, this was my assignment for trip; to teach my son how to cast a spinning reel all by himself. Here were the instructions I...
