This & That Thursday

The End: The evangelicals are claiming that the fighting in Israel and Lebanon is a precursor to the end of the world; God is coming again. Based on passages in the Bible, the religious zealots would have us believe that we need to REPENT NOW!!!!! Israel is on its way to reclaiming itself and then we will all see the face of God on Earth. Want more proof that the end is near? We've got Mad Max, er, Mad Mel (Gibson) ready to ascend his throne as The Road Warrior. Now if only we could see that tape of when he was arrested.


Neigh With Me: It may not have stained glass but it's got spirit(uality) among the worshippers. The Life Brand Cowboy Church in Newbury, OH is one of more than 20 congregations that are part of the Cowboy Church Network of North America. Most of the churches are found in the South (natch) and the services are catered to the farmhands and country bumpkins, oops, folk. No need to dress up, just come in your boots, jeans, chaps, and don't forget the hat and the horse makes a great substitute for a pew. And lest you think a stable is an odd place to worship, the big J was supposedly born in a stable.

peace,

paul
