The hill Cumorah is sacred ground to the Latter-day Saint. This is supposedly where Joseph Smith found the golden plates, buried under a stone. It was these golden plates that Mormons believe was translated by the gift and power of God into what is now known as the Book of Mormon.
I stumbled across this interesting video that discusses a recent find at the Hill Cumorah.
Oh, did I wish you a happy April Fool’s day?
This is a short video that you will find interesting if not downright humorous. There is a phrase that, to my knowledge, appears only in the King James Version of the Bible. The reason why, according to our preacher, is that the translators of other Bibles all pee sitting down. If you are confused about what you just read, watch the video.
Again, I am happy there was no practical application.
I stumbled across an interesting article this morning. You can read the whole story here, but let me just quote one statement I found interesting.
A WOULD-be suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out for an attack in Afghanistan, police say.
Wow, this guy, with visions of glory, headed out to do Allah’s will and blew himself up because he tripped down the stairs. He didn’t get to his intended target and killed only himself. Three other people were wounded, but no one else died.
Suicide bombers are taught that if they die killing infidels in Jihad, then they will be granted the reward of living in paradise with 70 some odd virgins. I am not one to make light of the death of someone else. Truth be told, I even hesitated to write this entry at all, but I’ve got a few questions with how this situation fits into Islam. What are the repercussions and will this guy be rewarded? With this in mind, here are some of my questions;
1) Is the road to paradise paved with good intentions?
2) Was it the destiny of the terrorist to die a clumsy idiot?
3) Was it the will of Allah for this guy to trip and fail his mission?
and lastly,
4) Does it count?
Chuck Norris on Mike Huckabee. If Huckabee gets elected, can we have Chuck Norris as Secretary of Defense?
With a heavy heart we bring you this sad news today. The beloved CHRISTmas icon of millions has suddenly and unexpectedly passed away early today, one day after CHRISTmas, 2007.
Santa Claus, born Kris Kringle, was known through out the world as a kind, gentle man whose generosity was unparalleled. Every year on the Eve of CHRISTmas Santa Claus would travel around the world delivering toys and other goodies to good little boys and girls. These toys were made throughout the year with the help of a band of elves. Once the toys were finished, they were loaded onto Santa’s sleigh which was powered by nine reindeer, the first of which has a red nose to help light the way in inclement weather. All of the toys were miraculously delivered in a single night.
Even though Claus was advanced in age, he was in extremely good health, able to climb chimneys (from the inside) and keep up with the rigors of his job with no trouble at all. That is why his passing this morning is so shocking. Claus was resting comfortably in his living room after his long CHRISTmas day and the previous night’s work when he suddenly gasped and fell over.
He is survived by Mrs. Claus, nine reindeer and an unknown number of elves. This picture was taken shortly before his death.
