I just got caught up on my Must See TV for the week. It was late and I should have been sleeping, but I needed to unwind. I watched tonights Daily Show, along with tuesday’s Scrubs and Teachers. I noticed a recurring theme in each of the shows. People make mistakes. Sometimes its a misscommunication Sometimes its a matter of poor judgement. And sometimes its a matter of life or death.
Today I got free tickets to the Rangers game. Luckily I got to take the afternoon off and enjoy Americas past time with some friends. Unfortunately it was last minute and with the cool weather I didn’t think to wear sunscreen Now my arms are paying for my mistake.
The point is, theres always a payment or consequence for mistakes.
It might mean you have to run a correction in the paper. You might have to suffer through a sunburn. Or you might have to swallow your pride and admit you were wrong.
Even in the grand scheme of life theres a punishment for our mistakes or sins.
For the wages of sin is death. – romans 5:8
That sucks. The ultimate punishment.
Even in the Jewish (and others) faith there was/is a punishment for sin. But thank goodness for grace and the rest of the verse.
… But the gift of God is eternal life.
I’m so glad its a gift and not something I have to earn. Because watching those shows tonight and thinking about my own life, I’m quite certain no one would ever be good enough to earn something like eternal life from a perfect God, who demands perfection.
Oh and theres one more part to the verse.
…through Jesus Christ our Lord.
That’s the only way you can get the gift. Jesus is the only one who can give it to you. And He wants to. He’s offering it to you right now. All you have to do is accept.
”grace. Its a name for a girl. Its also a thought that changed the world”

Fox commentator Tony Snow named new spokesperson for White House. From NPR:

President Bush on Wednesday named conservative commentator Tony Snow as White House press secretary, putting a new face on a troubled administration.
Snow, a Fox news pundit and former speechwriter in the White House under Bush’s father, replaced Scott McClellan who resigned in a personnel shuffle intended to re-energize the White House and lift the president’s record-low approval ratings.
“My job is to make decisions and his job is to help explain those decisions to the press corps and the American people,” Bush said, with Snow and McClellan at his side in the White House briefing room.

If Bush picks a Fox News Commentator to speak for his White House, what does that say about media bias?
