Sometimes I look at Old Testament prophecy and just think, “Ok, you say that’s speaking prophetically about Jesus’ death, and boy, if you stretched it far enough…maybe, but it’s sure less than obvious.”

But then you read John 2:17. Jesus was cleansing the temple, and the disciples saw this as a fulfillment of the prophecy in Psalm 69:9, which says “the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.” Seems pretty esoteric to me, but it goes to show that prophecies can indeed be, at first glance, stretches.

So what do you do as the government? Ban junk food and other stuff bad for the citizenry, thus improving the general health and well being of the populous or let them go and slowly kill themselves? It’s sort of a tough question, and one that probably is not as simple as I just stated it.

I thought of this because I read that certain states are going to ban junk food from being dispensed in public schools.

These monks I heard on the radio today sound a lot like a conservative Mennonite men’s choir would sound. Except when they do the parallel perfect fifth thing. I even heard part of “Of the Father’s Love Begotten” that was just like Tapestry’s/West Coast Mennonite Chamber Choir’s version.

I remember the first time I heard that we were having pancakes for supper. I was floored and enthralled. Imagine a food as good and as special and as breakfast-like as pancakes being made and eaten for supper!

I strongly dislike phone conversations when I can hardly hear the other person.

I’m cynical about Christianity at times. How is it that there are so many people who are seeking the face of God and yet can’t even coexist as Christians? It’s gotta be the fault of the people, and not the fault of the Creator, but yet if people are honestly seeking God, how can’t He reveal to them to at least love each other?
