Miscellaneous Pondering

I start out with my 10 "great truths." If I sound angry, I'm not really; I've just grown weary of political correctness. Actually...the "great truths" are not all so great and my ideas of truth sometimes are not. Yet, maybe they tell something about me:

10. The NCAA basketball bracket committee doesn't do a terrible job considering prejudices, their own and those thrown at them by everyone elso. At least they are far more fair than the media.

9. Any reasonably intelligent person is more fair than the media.

8. The BCS sports system for college football is really just BS.

7. Liberals lie and act as if they're conservative in order to get elected.

6. Conservatives, once elected, act too much like liberals.

5. As a practical matter, the lives of too many presumed-Christian professing Evangelicals as taught by their proud prancing prattling preachers are indistinquishable from lives of politicians, pimps and prostitutes. This is from me, a Protestant! The situation is plenty pathetic.

4. The problem of #5 is that the prince of the air, i.e., the devil, has displayed his power in persuasively presenting the proposition that our obeying Biblical precepts of righteousness, as new creations in Christ, is being "legalistic."

3. I am not the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, but I can pray the child will hear real Truth before being snared by the "cheap grace" prattle of the prancing preachers.

2. Atheists are not really more intellectual than the average Bible believing Christian, but they pretend they are; too many people don't know the difference or have been led to believe that this is just the way it is.

1. God is sovereign and didn't have to choose me to be one of His, but He did and I'm grateful.
