I'm sorry that happened. I am glad to read, however, that Scherie's back to driving, etc., !! that's FABULOUS!! And I laughed at your line 'it doesn't sink as fast now'!<br /><br />Ed, not too far off-topic, may I say that one of the black girls at the school at which I work now is struggling with her faith (Christian Dad not living with family and strong Muslim BLack-American Mom)...our receptionist heard her talking this last week, several times, with some of our really smarter kids who are committed Christians, and this black girl is struggling with Evolution re Creationism; OUr Christian Receptionist got pulled into the conversation and she reminded the Muslim girl that Evolution is racist and that there are evolutionists who put a black man in a zoo with chimpanzees years ago...etc. I'd read this book YEARS ago so I know that's true. After much input and thinking, the (very very bright) girl is now being heard saying things like "I'm leaning against evolution now...." <br />She then asked the Receptionist why God could welcome a sinner for only finally repenting from his death bed? How could he be saved just for believing at the last minute before he died? WHat did he do to deserve the 'late salvation'? The Receptionist told her it was Jesus's death on the cross which paid that...nothing the dying man had done. THat half muslim girl who came to our Christian school 2 years ago very sure in her mother's faith is now changing...........through being preached at? No, from the goodness of the school's administration (all Christians) and through seeing young kids who are believers AND being exposed to chapel and the requisite Old or New Testament classes.<br />WHo knows what's changing her heart for sure? GOD! :-)<br />praise GOd.<br />If this is 'too religious' or doesn't toe the typical AMerican line anymore, please feel free to delete this and block me. OH, I FORGOT, Conservatives and CHristians generally don't do that! THey're willing to discuss and educate and are fair losers if their witnessing doesn't work(for now). Pardon me for even thinking you'd do anything as silly as block me :-) (lots of sarcasm here, of course!)<br />xxxZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-17717896044780173662012-09-08T10:52:55.244-04:002012-09-08T10:52:55.244-04:00Now I can see the avatarNow I can see the avatarEd Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-86562362856901931102012-09-08T10:40:40.888-04:002012-09-08T10:40:40.888-04:00Ed the Pimp.

It's made me wary of him as his success got even better. I've a series of emails with him that ended when I found fault with McCain. He came back at me like I was nuts. But my prediction was dead on. He never apologized. But he's still well off and in an even more influential position. Few people would believe me except for the proof of my emails. I've been advised to cool it since he's still too popular and usually says the right thing. But when it comes to faith-based discussions, he'll not permit you to even suggest there is a possibility that you are right and he is wrong. I'm glad to see I have you for company in the treatment. However, it is no fun, is it? Reproduce it. I still wish I had.
