I need some new random questions to ask. I'll explain more over the weekend, but I just need you all to post some random questions here for me. Anyone in?

Last week's blogs were work focused and I did not get around to blogging this weekend. I am due for a new post. But I refuse to turn on the computer, so it is a BlackBerry blog tonight. That means it will not be too long tonight. If I were on my computer at work, it could be a long one because I got a new keyboard that is great and the space bar does not stick like the old one. If I had taken photos of the snow with my phone, could upload them here tonight. I did not take pictures with my phone though. And there was like 6 inches. And the camera at my parents house had pictures of my snow ball fight with the girls about an hour before all the snow melted off. was it not amazing how it was there one hour and gone the next? Now for some randomness... It is annoying me on The Biggest Loser how they are talking about Valentine's Day. it was probably actually Halloween when they filmed this. On the Bachelor, I believe the producers placed psycho Michele in the show and wil...

These small-group studies will enable readers to reach deeply into the riches of God’s Word and gain a clearer understanding of who Christ is and how He taught His followers during His ministry here on earth.

Can You Spot the Wolves? Ted Bigelow encourages his readers to follow God’s model of leadership for the church. The church is supposed to be the safest place on earth for Christians, so why is it often a place of deep dissatisfaction? Many Christians suffer from difficult church situations and are unsure how to live and worship with such stress, let alone grow in the midst of it. Much of this pain comes from being under poor church leadership. According to Ted Bigelow, if your church doesn’t follow God’s mandate for leadership as set out in the book of Titus, it is almost certainly headed for disaster. All Christians want to be a part of a safe and godly church so that they can invest in its ministries and mission without fear or compromise. Yet thousands of real churches, perhaps yours, have been infiltrated by dangerous men. Many Christians have been so hurt by these wolves that they have left church, vowing never to return. Other sheep, unaware of what they are witnessing week by...
