Some Biblical support:
Exodus 20:5 “You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the [...]

Cal Thomas, In Defense Of ‘Big Oil’:
Where is it written that the cost for a product or service should be frozen in place and in time, never to rise again, or to rise at a pace commensurate with our incomes? People who think this way know little to nothing about supply and demand and less [...]

No Comments Yet | Posted by matthew on May 13th, 2008 in Christian, I, Pandora

I tend to be dense, sometimes.
Over the last two years, at least, I’ve noticed a theme in God’s work in my life. A lesson, as it were, He spends all year drumming in to my head. And usually it takes a while for me to notice I’m still in class, as it were.
