I had no idea what & at the time I was quite taken with fiction. I got no enjoyment what-so-ever from non-fiction. I read...or didn't actually read...enough non-fiction with all my college classes. What a waste. So boring. Non-fiction lacked any creativity. Did I also mention I was a tree-hugger & had liberal leanings at this time of life? ;)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had always hated writing, despite actually being not terrible at it. I actually enjoyed & won an award in journalism in high school. The educational system has many different formats of writing composition. They incarcerate you into a form of writing that stifles creativity, is not fun at all, & even less fun to read. It is unnatural & boring. I think that's why I enjoyed journalism writing...it's a little more free & moldable. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In college, I would write short stories in my free time. No teachers telling me I had to write a certain way, no chance of anyone grading my work, I just wrote as if I was talking. It was liberating & so much fun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fast forward several years & now I rarely read fiction. In fact the last fiction book I read was probably 5 or so years ago. I read lots of non-fiction now. I have always loved research & that is what I do a lot of. For several years I have been toying with the idea of writing a non-fiction book. I have been feeling the desire more strongly over the last few months. And I think I'm ready to get serious & really start my research.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My original idea was to write a comparative religions book that would be lay person friendly & could easily be used in a small groups, homeschool, or Christian school setting. And I still really want to do that but when I think about how I want to do that, I realize how little most Christians even know about their own religion. Christians are probably more ignorant of their own religion's theology & doctrines than any other religious group. I have many reasons I think this has happened but I don't want to get into them now...maybe the intro to the book. ;) So, I have decided that I should probably start with my first book being a simple overview of basic Christian theology & doctrine. I may add on comparison study of some of the major denominations within Christianity if space allows. And then, once I've learned from all my mistakes, then make my second book a comparative religions book. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anthony has suggested I publish them through iBooks. Not a bad idea...especially for a new author who doesn't have any experience. However, there is something about having a physical book to sit on your book shelf. I may publish it through iBooks & take any criticism & fix any issues & then publish it through a publishing house. Anyway, those are things to face along the way & not to worry about now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to do this/these books right. I want to make sure that I have my facts straight. So...I have lots of studying & research to do. To practice at how I want the chapters & topics to go, I am considering creating a new blog just for my writing. What do you think? I like this blog but it was really created at a different point in my life & the title wouldn't really go with my intentions with these posts. So, any thoughts?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If I do create a new one, any suggestions as to what I should call it? </div>

Very disturbing article but nothing that hasn't been warned of by the Pro-Life community.<br />
<br />
Quote from the article being referenced in this blog entry: "...the same reasons which justify abortion should also justify the killing of the potential person when it is at the stage of a newborn." That should make a normal person's blood run cold.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thankfully, Rick Warren has finally come out about the controversy earlier this week & has clearly established that he does not believe that the Christian God & Allah are the same god. However, I do agree with Chris Rosebrough that the confusion earlier in the week could have easily been cleared up by him coming out immediately after the report &, even better, taken the time to actually speak with the reporter & clarify any confusion he may have had.<br />
<br />
Warren did not take the time to meet with the reporter prior to the article being written despite the reporter requesting it. So, Warren should not be surprised when someone of the secular world does not understand the words or intentions of the Christian world. This should be a lesson that when dealing with non-Christians, it is the responsibility of the Christian to make sure his message is being understood clearly and that he has clearly defined typical Christianese. Also, like Chris points out, it does seem Warren is understating what he refers to as a "Bible study" with Muslims.<br />
<br />
Warren still has serious problems with his ecclesiology & his seeker-sensitive "messages." And, rather than promoting Warren, the SBC should be admonishing him & trying to counsel him to preach more Biblically-based rather than his typical self-help, seeker-sensitive "messages." All the same, I am very pleased that Warren has clearly stated his stance.<br />
<br />
So, if you have been following the controversy, Chris does a great job in this podcast. The coverage of the Warren controversy is covered in the first 20-25 mins if you don't have time to listen to the entire 2 hr show.<br />

Sad to say, <a href="http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2012/02/komen-apologizes-for-recent-de.html">Susan G Komen has reconsidered their policy</a> & will not be pulling their support from Planned Parenthood.<br />
<br />
So, I'm back to not supporting them.<br />
<br />
I must admit, I'm not really that surprised. In fact, when I wrote to thank SGK earlier in the week for their decision, I told them that as long as they continue to not support agencies that perform abortions or embryonic stem cell research, they would have my support. Well, that didn't last long.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12651950351947133261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700957875838429457.post-36786865392748718892012-02-02T16:30:00.000-06:002012-02-03T12:20:16.504-06:00Pro-Planned Parenthood Comments & My Response<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq5YeA4P5vliqg7NLrG2sZhdlFL9CYWr_kQAcCFMjzP3vHdWyM4tmKqCHna-Ic4IZdbU798zpH3wghXOulUsw8YnKqfVexvYLYjPTijp78S3j8FKJP4qn0KXNySfYTUcnyCk7ybC-aI1EK/s1600/fetus_smiling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq5YeA4P5vliqg7NLrG2sZhdlFL9CYWr_kQAcCFMjzP3vHdWyM4tmKqCHna-Ic4IZdbU798zpH3wghXOulUsw8YnKqfVexvYLYjPTijp78S3j8FKJP4qn0KXNySfYTUcnyCk7ybC-aI1EK/s320/fetus_smiling.jpg" width="278" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, I've been seeing many comments on other sites regarding Susan G. Komen pulling support from Planned Parenthood. I wanted to address some of what I have seen here.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of the most common comments I see coming from the opposition is something like: </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>"Now PP won't be able to provide mammograms for those that can't afford it otherwise</i>."</span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are many things wrong with this statement. I can speak with a bit of authority on this topic due to the fact that I am the supervisor of an outpatient imaging center that includes breast imaging (screening & diagnostic mammograms and breast ultrasound) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First off, PP does not perform mammograms, they only refer to imaging clinics & hospitals. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Secondly, regarding the price. Virtually all insurance plans cover, in full, a screening mammogram each year. In addition, you do not need a doctor's order for a screening mammogram (only study I know of that doesn't legally require a doctor's order)...just an appointment. For those who don't have insurance, almost any place that performs mammograms provides the more than $300 exam for less than $80. The uninsured price at the place I work is about $40. Also, many imaging sites provide "fairs" periodically where they offer free screenings.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another commenter ignorantly stated: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">If you "pro-lifers" want to actually embrace a TOTAL pro-life mentality, start organizing free rides for women to clinics where they can have their health checked over by qualified professionals."</span></i></span></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My response was, "M<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">any hospitals & non-profit charities offer free rides for women to the clinics/hospitals. All you have to do is ask the clinic/hospital you are considering going to &, if they don't offer sure a service, they can probably recommend or suggest one. Most of these places & charities cannot afford to advertise these services to the general public due to many people, who are perfectly capable of performing these tasks themselves or have family who can assist, taking advantage of them."</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">Several commenters have said similar things to what this person said:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">Anti-abortion groups want to deny women vital health care that is 97% of what Planned Parenthood does."</span></span></i></blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">If PP was so determined to provide health care to women, then why won't they just stop performing abortions. If only 3% of what they do is abortions & that 3% is what is costing them the most loss of support, then, in all logic, they should give up the 3% for the 97%. From my observation, they must care very little for the health of women due to their reluctance to cease from performing the controversial & horrific act. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK8BWmbPTo-HO13WYaUNnpQk58ErFiy7lP8Lfywuno9YLPB4hxHLDJlLWkLpusFqRH3tNYDu8dbn1URmO3EcayiYH2xq2OqztL8fWgAfFBxhCo4ZuOF0LVDn_ObPtWage_CXIf8uaRP84A/s1600/18wk_fetus_hubble-wl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK8BWmbPTo-HO13WYaUNnpQk58ErFiy7lP8Lfywuno9YLPB4hxHLDJlLWkLpusFqRH3tNYDu8dbn1URmO3EcayiYH2xq2OqztL8fWgAfFBxhCo4ZuOF0LVDn_ObPtWage_CXIf8uaRP84A/s320/18wk_fetus_hubble-wl.jpg" width="281" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">Also, this statement makes a wild jump into a bizarre conclusion, that because Pro-Lifers are against organizations that murder babies, that somehow we want to deny women healthcare. It is nothing like that. In fact, quite the opposite. We want women to receive good, life affirming medical assistance.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">A Pro-Life commentator made a good analogy. She said if a wonderful surgeon was found to be molesting children, would you just ignore that fact because he has a history & gift for saving lives? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">I heard a pastor once use another story to describe how a little evil goes a long way. His children wanted to watch a "R" rated movie. They begged him & said, "But, Dad, it's just a few bad words. There is nothing else bad in it." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">So, to demonstrate how just a little goes a long way, he made them a plate full of delicious looking brownies & placed them in front of his children. He told them all about how he made them. How he used the best ingredients, the pure cane sugar, the natural vanilla, the flour, the fresh eggs. And then, he told them of the secret ingredient. He added just a pinch of dog poop. They stared at him in horror & refused to eat the brownies. He replied to them, "But, it's just a little poop. There is nothing else bad in them." The kids got the point. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">It is the same with PP. Maybe only 3% of their productivity is the murder of children but it still spoils the whole organization. Is disgusts me to even type "maybe only 3% of their productivity is the murder of children." When did our society become so numb to & accepting of the killing babies? </span><br />

Wonderful, wonderful news! <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Susan G. Komen</a> has pulled all support from <a href="http://www.plannedparenthood.org/" target="_blank">Planned Parenthood</a> & embryonic stem cell research.<br />
<br />
Being that I work in an imaging clinic, it has been very awkward for me for the last couple of years avoiding every mention of contributing to SGK.<br />
<br />
Sad to say, but according to <a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/komen-deluged-with-pro-abortion-complaints-pro-lifers-urged-to-rally-in-sup" target="_blank">this article</a>, SGK has been inundated with emails & calls criticizing their pull of support but very few responses of thanks from the Pro-Life community.<br />
<br />
I encourage everyone to contact SGK & express gratitude for their removed support of the murderous group. You can email them at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><a href="mailto:news@komen.org">news@komen.org</a> </span><br />

We are putting a website together via TheKnot.com. I'll post it here once we are ready to release it to everyone.<br />

I think I'll start a new blog site for our wedding & future life together which I'll tell you all about & link to here once I make it official. Not sure what I'm going to call it though. Any ideas?<br />

Here is a video describing the Lutheran point of view on communion, or what we Baptists refer to as "the Lord's Supper."<br />
<br />
Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalian/Anglican/Church of England, Presbyterian/Church of Scotland, from what I've studied, all kind of have a similar view of what happens to the bread and wine during consumption. There are two terms that, in my quick research, seem very difficult to differentiate. The two terms are "transubstantiation" and "consubstantiation." From what I can tell, "transubstantiation" means that once the priest blesses the bread and wine, they literally become the body and blood of Christ. "Consubstantiation" means that the spirit of Christ is in the sacraments and not his actual flesh and blood. If you have a better explanation of these two terms, feel free to let me know in the comments.<br />
<br />
I am a Baptist and I can testify as to how we view this remembrance practice.<br />
<br />
Many other Protestant denominations view communion the same as Baptist but may practice it a little differently. Some have communion every week while others may have it once every 3 months; some use grape juice and others use wine. There are valid arguments for every difference, however, that is not what I am here to discuss today.<br />
<br />
Baptists, and many other denominations, hold that the bread and wine/grape juice is symbolic representations to remind us to remember Christ's sacrifice on the cross.<br />
<br />
This is how I view it: Jesus used parables and symbols to teach about justice, himself, and God the Father. The way I read it, Jesus took the parts of the Passover that they understood and used them to explain what he was about to do. Unleavened bread to represent his sinlessness and the wine to represent his blood that he would spill for us all.<br />
<br />
The Passover was celebrated each year to remind the Israelites of how God rescued them from the slavery of the Egyptians. The unleavened bread was to remind them of how quickly their ancestors had to flee. They did not even have time to allow the bread to rise. I must admit that I do not have a clear understanding as to if that particular representation applied to Christ. I can only speculate that it may refer to the fact we do not have much time. Our time is fleeting and unknown so we must make a decision to follow Christ quickly. However, one should never take others or their own speculation as to compete with what the Bible is actually saying.<br />
<br />
Another possible, and more probable, reference is to the lack of yeast in the unleavened bread representing the sinlessness of Christ. There are multiple instances where Jesus used yeast to describe sin in a visual way. Paul even used it to describe how a little sin ignored or tolerated can affect an entire congregation in I Corinthians 5. I believe this may be what Christ was referring to when he offered the unleavened bread. He then broke it to symbolize how his body would be broken for them/us.<br />

The wine offered at passover was to represent the blood that spared the Israelites from the Angel of Death if they choose to paint it on the door posts. The wine now is to represent his blood that, if we choose, will spare us from eternal death.<br />
<br />
In this particular video, there are a couple of other things that I would disagree on, besides what I listed above. One would be, he says that Jesus said four times that "this is my body." This isn't exactly accurate. Jesus only said it once but four people reported it.<br />
<br />
The other issue I have is how he continuously says that they believe what Jesus said. However, he then turns around and quotes Jesus when he said he was "the door." This pastor says, "he is the door, he is the only way." Which is true, he is the only way, but I doubt very seriously that this man actually believes Jesus physically becomes a door.<br />
<br />
The most irritating part of this video, for me, is how the pastor seems to talk down to Baptists or anyone else who might disagree with him. If he were to talk to me in this way, when trying to argue his point or convert me, it would irritate me more than want me to actually consider what he said. There is nothing wrong with arguing your beliefs and using a sure/assertive tone, but one must be careful not to sound condescending or give the impression that you think the other side is unintelligent or doesn't have an argument worth listening to as well.<br />
<br />
This isn't one of those topics that should divide fellowship but can spur (hopefully healthy) debate.<br />
<br />
I really want to do a similar post, more in-depth, discussing how Jews still conduct Passover and how it relates to Christ. There are some seriously interesting connections. There are some practices they perform during Passover that they do not know why they do them but if you explain them to a Christian, they immediately know what they are referring to.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12651950351947133261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700957875838429457.post-47398928563767828222011-09-26T18:48:00.001-05:002011-09-26T18:49:53.582-05:00180This is a great video. It does have some disturbing, Holocaust images but, even though they are difficult to look at, I think it is important for us to see them just to remind us what happens when people remain silent in the face of evil and don't speak up for the innocent and don't speak out for what is right and true.<br />

I was doing so good with blogging a couple of years ago. I was doing so good with several areas of my life. Not anymore. I have let myself down in so many areas: 1.) weight loss & fitness; 2.) Bible reading, & 3.) blogging. I feel icky everywhere; spiritually, physically, mentally, &, due to the stressfulness of my job, emotionally.<br />

I've been so-so on the physical front lately. I've been counting calories...kind of...I do great until after work then I am usually too tired to care anymore. I do work out to <a href="http://www.dancecentral.com/">Dance Central</a> every now & then but not enough to really be very beneficial. I've really got to step it up. I hate that I keep saying that & then I never do. :P I'll be making a post soon about the gym I currently belong to, Lady of America, & what a huge scam they are & of my disappointment with them. If they are not going to let me out of the contract & continue taking my money, I might as well use the gym, so I've started going back to there. I went last week & my anger fueled my workout so I guess it was actually more beneficial. I also used the weight machines...I had forgotten how good it felt to leave with all my muscles tight. I felt stronger the next day & felt the slight pain of having had a good work out & it felt good. I'm going back next week.<br />
<br />
Spiritually, I've really fallen off the horse. I haven't been reading my Bible every day like I was. I have a Bible plan but I'll stick to it for a couple of day & then not for a few days. The worst part is that I don't even realize I haven't done my reading for several day/weeks. Ugh! Guilt!<br />
<br />

The main problem we have is A lives about 45 mins away, so we try to take turns driving back & forth. If when we ever get married, we'll live in my house (unless something changes) so it would be better to find a church in my area. Buuuut, there are nice churches in his area as well. The other issue is, where ever I/we end up, I would like to be involved during the week in Bible studies, ministries, etc... Driving 45 min in DFW traffic with gas prices the way they are just isn't ideal or wise if there are closer churches that would fit the bill. We know we will never find the "perfect" church but it seems like most of the churches are either hard-core <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism">Calvinist</a> (neither of us are very <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism">Calvinist</a>, we lean that way but not enough that any Calvinist would say we were....definitely not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminianism">Arminian</a>, though), charismatic (I really don't feel comfortable in a charismatic church), like being at a rock concert (bordering on <a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/print.php?articleid=3991">Emergent</a>/<a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=7453">New Apostolic</a>/<a href="http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=2914">Seeker Sensitive</a>), or basically dead/dishing out nothing but milk. I don't think we are being too picky...I just believe there is A LOT of apostasy going on right now (& according to scripture will just get worse from this point on). I really would rather wait & find the right place than to get involved in one & either have to leave after friendships have been formed or be compromised due to false teachings.<br />
<br />

However, both times we have been have been special Sundays when the preacher didn't preach. The first Sunday they had some missionaries speak & it was amazing. Today we went again & they had a guy from Team Impact preach. I was expecting it to be really disappointing but in his first few sentences he had me "Amen"ing him inside. He was an excellent preacher & I was very impressed. We want to hear the preacher actually preach a few time & maybe meet with him before we make any decision but it seams like a pretty decent church so far.<br />

<br />
<br />
Mentally, well, blogging would certainly help with that...probably the emotional side of things too (I know, I know, working out regularly helps with that as well). I have big plans for this blog but I always have these great plans & then never do anything with them. I like to blog about general, life stuff but I also need a project & I have several ideas.<br />
<br />
Here is my biggest: I want to create some very well researched apologetics/polemics postings. Ok, what does that mean? right?<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<b>Apologetics</b> is giving a defense of what you believe. Most people have a bit of a hang up with the word (myself included) at first.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> "Apologetics" does not mean you are apologizing for what you believe. It comes from the greek word, "apologia<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><i>,"</i> which means "speaking in defense." So, you can see how we get apologize from the same root word because when you "apologize" for something you are, at least in today's screwed up word, you are defending yourself (aka, blaming someone else...often former President Bush). It is typically used in conjunction or under the assumption of Christianity. So, in such, usually when people refer to "apologetics" they are referring to defending or "giving a reason for the hope" (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+3%3A15&version=ESV">1 Peter 3:15</a>) of Christianity.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>Polemics</b> is presenting an argument/debate against another view, doctrine, or person. This word is typically used to present the differences between Christianity & other religions/belief systems/cults.</blockquote>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZah_MRLkqt4y70G-74emB7XLiq4enNn6_L1vLM7gjp4rQyCHrOIBC8WiRYCslhWGJJdquLA7iyzKnHOXDnIwMr_zmVqdd2Dnk-8VGmx8wdntx6rdvtKagiWWmzEFMcnnclujdHpRHMqRJ/s1600/research2books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZah_MRLkqt4y70G-74emB7XLiq4enNn6_L1vLM7gjp4rQyCHrOIBC8WiRYCslhWGJJdquLA7iyzKnHOXDnIwMr_zmVqdd2Dnk-8VGmx8wdntx6rdvtKagiWWmzEFMcnnclujdHpRHMqRJ/s200/research2books.jpg" width="200" /></a>A long time ago, in a series of posts far, far away, I talked about the differences in different world political systems & in American political parties. I had fun doing those posts but I really didn't do much research...more just referencing Wikipedia. I want this series to be different; I want them to be VERY well researched. My main reason for this is I know a lot of people that may take a bit of offense to some of what I present & I want to do it in a loving way & actually REALY know what I am talking about. Another reason is, in my fantasy world, I would like these to be done well enough that I could eventually have them published & then maybe someday write some study material that could be used in small groups & (in a really fantastical part of my dream) eventually go around speaking at conferences regarding it. I know...me & my imagination but, hey, if it does happen like that, fine, but even if it doesn't I'll have learned a lot on the way to nowhere. ;) Who knows, it could come in handy someday.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's my "big" project; probably not one that will come to fruition for a long time...possibly several years.<br />
<br />
Smaller projects I have in mind are: a series on the history of the Church (I have a book sample on my <a href="https://kindle.amazon.com/">Kindle</a> that I'm thinking about purchasing called "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Most-Important-Events-Christian-History/dp/0800756444">The 100 Most Important Events in Christian History</a>"); a series on Christians that have impacted the Church (I have 2 more book samples on my Kindle called "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christians-Everyone-Should-Holman-Reference/dp/080549040X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316977051&sr=1-1">131 Christians Everyone Should Know</a>" & "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/People-Every-Christian-Should-Know/dp/0801071941/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316977097&sr=1-1">50 People Every Christian Should Know</a>"); and a series on popular heretical teachings.<br />
<br />
I really want to get started on these now but I have HUGE test on Tuesday that I have to have taken & passed by Oct. 15 for work. I'm really mainly procrastinating on that right now & don't have time for another subject to procrastinate on right now. So after Oct, I'll either be fired & have plenty of time to work on these projects or I'll have passed & can start procrastination on them then. ;)<br />
<br />
Anyway, just an update & what is going on in my mind. :D<br />
