Clean up issues

Clean up issues
So yesterday I had a bit of a Monday morning rant.
Someone called me on it and I think they had a valid point.

I think it is funny that you got on a rant over a simple statement that a speaker was going to give some information out to better inform those who were interested, about what all the issues involved were. I see no reason for people to not be informed about something, if they wish to be. I guess I don’t care enough to actually find out more about it, so I can not speak intelligently about it. However, I can see how Christians could get upset if the character of Christ is attacked, whether it is fiction or nonfiction…makes no difference. When you love someone, you don’t care who makes the attack or how they do it….it makes you angry. I think that is the real issue here.

I believe I misunderstood what was going on. I’ve seen several churches in the area advertise special sermons on de-bunking the DiVinci Code. I feel they’ve been using it only as a marketing gimmick. Which still may not be that bad – it gets people in the church. So I apologize for my rant yesterday.
Also:

I personally think Christians ARE more concerned with helping others than they are about this book/movie. They just want to be educated about what all the stir is about. Perhaps some do go overboard, but they are people, and people tend to go overboard at times when they feel strongly about something……kinda like you and your ranting!! 🙂

So with that, I stand corrected.
And there’s one more… maybe I should just delete most of yesterday ;-). No wonder my visit count was so low yesterday. Good thing I had a great evening with Grilled Salmon and Zinfandel.

I imagine if you check, most people’s birth certificates are filed a month or so after their birth. Hospitals are so slow.

The writer went on to say that a birth certificate for someone they knew took almost six months to be filed. I just thought it was funny that mine was filed two months late and thought I’d poke some fun at my mom. Sorry on that too.

More on the Da Vinci Code:

“In the end, what Dan Brown has revealed to us is not that we’re so much short on faith, but he has revealed to us that we may be weak in church history,” Rev. Ken Whitten said. “It gave us a great opportunity to teach doctrine, to teach truth and sharpen our skills about what our story is.”
“For me the idea that this is a controversial book is really silly,” Westin said. “There’s no controversy because there’s really no side that’s saying Dan Brown is right other than the people who are trying to sell books or Dan Brown. It’s a little bit like professional wrestling. Most people know that it’s not real.”
