Hello again Everybody!
Yes I am back at the University (One more year!) Classes will be very interesting this semester, as I am taking three courses that contain the possibility of making my blood boil. Two are on the history of Christianity and the other is on US Foreign policy... I will keep y'all posted. I am looking forward to the Gospel Choir and to the various fellowships that I will be attending this year. I am expecting God to do some great things this year.
If you haven't read Proverbs in a while go back and re-read it. It's Deep!
I am at a point right now where all I want to do all day is talk about Jesus- He is so wonderful, gracious, kind, powerful, majestic, sweet, holy, righteous, I could go on forever! I love Him so much! He has saved me from my sins and is transforming into who He has called me to be. I dont deserve his goodness but He loved me enough to die for my sins. He Loves you too and you can have eternal life. All you have to do is trust in Jesus!

Old School Music
In a recent post by Physics Geek, he talked about the decline of Sandi Patty. Today I listened to "I Choose Joy" by Larnelle Harris for the first time in about six years. Larnelle is another artist from that era of Contemporary Christian music. If you have heard any of his stuff, you should go out and look for it. His tenor range is amazing, and the music is very good. His best album is "Larnelle Live", which he did with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
On a completely unrelated topic I predict that the Sox will win 4 out of 5 this weekend against the Yanks, Big Papi hitting at least one walk-off off of Rivera
Go Beantown!

I Figured it out!
Ok Now that I hjave figured out how to addlonks to my blog (thanks to Dr M at http://physicsgeekJesusfreak.blogspot.com) I can add my favorite blogs and websites. Sweet deal!
Watch Bill O'Reilly talking points on Senator Liebermans' defeat from yesterday (not up now but should be on later) I agree with everything he had to say except that the state of Connectiut did not send a clear cut message against the war. Lamont won by 4 points and it was only the Democrats who were voting. I think Lieberman has a real shot to win as an independent as more will vote in the general election. Lieberman probably will get my vote, as I know nothing about Alan Schlesinger and I will not vote for Lamont ever.
Well that is it for now, God Bless and enjoy your day!

More on the Senate Race
Lieberman's loss is deeply troubling, especially from a Christian perspective. Lieberman lost this primary because he refused to attack President Bush on the war in Iraq. His refusal to play politics with the war just might cost him his job, and that is a real shame.
Joe Lieberman was one of the few Democrats who has always defended Israel's right to exist. The issue of Israel was the main issue of this primary. Lieberman's support of the Iraq conflict is based on the fact that he saw Saddam Hussein as a threat to Israel's security. Mr Lamont and his far left buddies see the Jewish state of Israel as an illegal, immoral thing. They want the Israelis to abandon the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip and give the land back to its "rightful owners" the Palestinians. I found all of this out a few years ago when I watched a anti war rally in Washington DC on C-Span one Saturday Morning in Mid October (there was nothing else on). EVERY SINGLE speaker with exception one railed against two things "The illegal occupation of Iraq" and Israel's "Illegal occupation of Palestinian territory" In their warped minds, Hamas, the PLO, and Hezbollah are the good guys and Israel is the bad guy.
As a Christian, I believe what the Bible says in Genesis 12:3- God will bless those who bless Abraham's seed (the Jewish people). It is our responsibility to pray for the nation Israel and ask God to defend the Apple of his eye

My First Post
Hello!
This is my first post.
I, The Compassionate Conservative, will tell you a little about myself. I am a Jesus Loving, Bible believing, Fundamentalist, politically conservative Christian who also happens to be a nice guy. I am in my early twenties and I attend a public university in the Northeast.
When I refer to myself as a Fundamentalist Christian allow me to explain. I believe Fundamentally in the Love of God. I Fundamentally believe that Jesus Christ came to this earth to save sinners, of whom I am chief. I Fundamentally believe that the Bible calls me to show love NO MATTER WHAT to my fellow man.
Politically I tend to be conservative on the hot button social issues, based on what I read in the Bible. I am pro-life (Exodus 20:13, Psalm 139, Jeremiah 2, Genesis 1-2) and I am against gay marriage (Leviticus 18 & 20, Romans 1, I Corinthians 6). However I do not hate homosexuals, and I do not hate women, because God calls me to show love to all (I John 4:7)
On other social issues I am less conservative. On the issue of governmental welfare, I am convinced it is a necessary evil. I believe that the government has taken over the responsibility of providing food for the poor because the Christian Church was negligent in their responsibility. God calls us to remember the poor (Galatians 2:10, James 1:27) and we have not done our duty. Think about it. Look at all the millions who go to these huge mega churches around the country and then see all the millions who are destitute in the same cities where these mega churches are. Because we as Christians failed in our responsibility by and large, the government was forced to step in. We need to do what we can to help those in this country who are less fortunate than we are- In short we need to put into practice what God has called us to do.
Ok enough about me. I wanted to talk about Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman's primary race against Ned Lamont. As a Christian I value honesty as a noble character trait and it is something that I want to see in my elected officials. Mr Lamont's campaign against Lieberman has been was of the most dishonest campaigns I have ever seen. Lamont has attacked Lieberman, calling him "George Bush's Lap Dog" and implying that Lieberman is a clone of the President in several TV and radio spots. The facts, however, do not support such an accusation. Senator Lieberman is a three term Senator who has voted with the Democratic party 90% of the time. He voted against confirming John Roberts and Samuel Alito, against the Federal Marriage Amendment, and against every pro life measure ever taken up in the Senate. Lieberman is a solidly liberal politician who has served the state of Connecticut for more than two decades in public office.
Lamont is challenging Lieberman mainly because Lieberman is one of the few prominent Democrats who has maintained his support of our military actions in Iraq. He also agrees with Bush on 4 other issues. The fact that the far left is willing to throw a loyal Democrat under the bus because he sides with conservatives on 5 issues is an absolute shame. What is this country's political system coming too when you are not allowed to agree with the opposing party on 5 issues?
I disagree with Lieberman on almost every issue (except Israel), but I think that he is a good guy who is getting absolutely shafted for all the wrong reasons.
