Our church frowns on drinking ...

Growing up, I was always taught that drinking was a sin. Looking back, while the theology might be questionable, it wasn't a bad thing to teach a kid. Since my parents didn't drink, I associated alcohol with drunkenness which is essentially bad whatever your beliefs. As I got older, I found that like most vices, the sin is pretty much in the excess. Throughout college, I stuck with soda instead of beer, and found that most people admired my abstinence as long as I didn't look down my nose at them.

What do you think?

Harry Potter haunts the house.

Harry Potter is sinful, evil and the work of Satan! ... Uh, but Aslan is an allegory for the story of Christ ...
When JK Rowling starts a leading a cult of witches and wizards, we might need to rethink her intentions, but until then, remember that authors like Tolkien, Rowling and Lewis are not only encouraging millions of kids and young adults to read, but they are also giving us great models for Good and Evil in stories that allow us to put ourselves into their beautifully (and sometimes beautifully terrible) worlds. As parents and teachers we have the opportunity to discuss huge issues, like agape love and self-sacrifice through the stories that kids love.

The church treasurer

Even a small church can have a relatively large budget. Unfortunately, my joke is not so funny when embezzlement happens in real life. But beware, there's a special place in Hell for people who steal from God ...

Inflation trickles down ... and makes a sticky mess!

Make no mistake, inflation is coming. The question is will anyone still be working? Nope, I don't have an answer, just a lot of concern for those who are still looking for jobs.
