Demographic Winter
I would love to hear your comments about this clip and/or the DVD if you have seen it.
Darwinism, Hilter, and Expelled
There is an interesting article by Jack Cashill on WorldNetDaily.com about how the movie Expelled has gotten a lot of criticism about connecting Darwinism to the Holocaust. Yet Mr. Cashill, says that Expelled didn't go nearly as in depth as it could have. Here are the opening paragraphs.
Darwin critics know Ernst Haeckel as the German philosopher whose faked embryo drawings helped generations of clueless students accept Darwinism – "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and all that.
But there is still another problem with Haeckel, a darker one than mere fraud. Critics of the Ben Stein film, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," apparently do not know this.
If they had, they would not have savaged Stein for daring to connect Adolf Hitler to Charles Darwin. In Scientific American, for instance, editor John Rennie describes this connection as "heavy-handed." In Reuters, Frank Scheck calls it "truly offensive."
In reality, it is neither. If anything, Stein and the makers of "Expelled" understate this historically irrefutable link, and the key to understanding it is Haeckel.

Alan Keyes Leaves GOP
OK, I know that this is mostly old news (from April 16th), but I just found out about it. I really like Alan Keys and if he does end up running for the Constitution Party, I will likely vote for him. Here are some quotes from the USA Today story.
Keyes, who also ran as a Republican to challenge Barack Obama's U.S. Senate bid in Illinois in 2004, says he is talking with leaders and rank-and-file members of the Constitution Party.
"They're considering me, I'm considering them," Keyes said in a conference call late Tuesday night. "We have so much in common that I find it hard to believe we won't be able to work out a common basis for working together."
Keyes singled out the nation's present "border issue" as a reason he is leaving the GOP, saying it is a "threat to the sovereignty to the American people."
"There are clear signs that our leaders no longer have an allegiance to the sovereign people of the United States," Keyes said.

Expelled in Top 10 After Opening Weekend
Expelled is in the top 10 after its opening weekend even though it opened in way fewer theaters than the other movies in the top ten.
Garage Sales for Jesus
Our church has a program called Share the Joy. In this program, each small group is encouraged to find a person in need and raise or donate funds for them in the name of Jesus. Then the church will match up to $1000. To this end, my small group had a garage sale this weekend.
5 or 6 families came to set up on Friday. Then people came in shifts on Saturday morning. It went really well with the grand total coming to $766. We are planning to help a recovering drug addict.
Imagine what good could be done if small groups across the country did the same thing. Even if your church doesn't match the funds, $700+ is nothing to sneeze at and could do a lot of good. I hope that our small group continues to use the stuff that we no longer need to bless the community in Jesus name.
