Some barely speak modern English, for that matter... Thou dost forsooth speaketh the truth - the prose in earlier posts are quite beautiful doncha think

No point in leaders of states not going if the athletes do - perhaps a total world wide boycott might do the trick and once again I say it won't happen

Suzanne thank you for this post. The OP has a link specifically dealing with the "lie" of Rahab which further points out that our Lord and Master was a direct descendant of Rahab. Yes lying is wrong but would I do anything different to Rahab, I would hope not. Just to continue along the vein of lying how many of us can say we do not deceive ourselves and others in small ways everyday. I believe we do because we are not perfected yet and we simply justify or gloss over the act to make it sound good. How many of us can say we do no wrong? Gene

Unfortunately it won't happen

Right on Z-Girl go for it

Odd Thomas was Koontz. Getting back to the OP I enjoy the odd horror movie, I find that it keeps me focused on my next chess move

Abolish elections and make myself the prez for life............

How well you put it hr.jr

Scuse me young lady....'course midlife crisis exists. I should know it's been happening to me for 60 odd years *HAR*

Why does this remind me of the Samaritan woman by the well? Emily

Ah excuse me sweets you are as young as you feel - look at me, I don't feel a day over 60. Btw I always tend to forget my birthday (and everyone elses) until someone has to remind me so it seems everyone except me is celebrating my birthday. On a more serious note there are two scriptural references to birthdays but not in the context of celebration, I would agree with the consensus that there is no biblical reference to not celebrating one's birthday. In the event that the PM talks about "pagan" in the sense that people have been celebrating their birthday's long before the birth of the Master then he is right and if we use the 25th of December as the day of His birth (which is probably erroneous) then what does it matter - it is a great matter for celebration. Sorry, wandering off the subject matter again................

Just read the article - Pullman comes across as an embittered man fueled by irrational hatred, he seriously needs the Master in his life. We, as Christians should pray for him, somehow I think he's ready...

Yep! Right on Vickilynn well said

Tried to open the trailer but my computer (1917 vintage) wouldn't - somebody tell me if an old codger would enjoy part 2 even if I haven't seen part one

Nice going AndrewA
