Giving Christians a Bad Name

Okay, so I skim read this article... The premise appears that a group of Baptists -- the "Baptist" part isn't really important -- a group of ten or so Christian rescue workers... or missionaries.. or whatever -- was busted trying to take about thirty Hatian kids out of the country.

They said "Oh, we weren't kidnapping them... we were saving them... we were being good Christians. Idiots!

Let's take this shit at face value... let's assume that their hearts were in the right place. They still were fucking idiots. They tried to save these thirty-odd souls by moving them from their family and homes, effectively coercing the parents at their moment of greatest weakness. Sigh.

How about staying to rebuild? How about demonstrating God's love through service? Oh no. Instead, let's fly down there, grab thirty or so kids, and zip on back home. Oh yeah. That'll make a good name for Christ.

Oh, The Irony... and the Fuzzy Memories

Yesterday I watched a movie that I love but haven't seen in ages. And then I noticed the time...

It so happened that I was watching Pink Floyd's The Wall at 4:20.

Nothing says nerd erotica like this.

Stumbling

I was stumbling around the internet today. One of the stumbles yielded the following message. Firefox cannot find the site at www.womansday.com. All I can say is... Thank God!

Hmmm...

Am I the only one who's a little disturbed, yet slightly aroused by this video?

My Poor Sick Kid

My older daughter has been down for over a week... dizziness, nausea, and debilitating headaches. I took her back to the emergency room Friday night, where they gave her a CAT scan and ran a few tests. They said that there's nothing immediately life-threatening, which is good. But we're all getting frustrated at the glacial pace of things. We had an appointment with her family doctor today, but the doctor's office notified us that the doc is sick, so we had to reschedule.

The kid seems to be slowly improving, but damn... it's a bitch to watch your kid be sick. And I'll admit it... I'm not at my best when dealing with the medical bureaucracy.
