Hello, good Doctor. Your absence has been sorely missed.

Yet the church's pastor, Rankin Wilbourne, is happy to pepper his sermons with references to Bono and "Jersey Shore," and the church has grown to around 1,500 members from 500 in three years.

Not only does he have bad taste, his wife is not up to Tammy Faye or Jan Crouch standards. We must pony up enough funds to send her a trowel for her makeup. And the hair? Bleach blonde is one thing, but it is nowhere near high enough. The higher the hair, the closer to God, you know.

Four posts before a post to take it off topic.

You’re slacking.

I think what surprises me about this article is the idea that the action taken is uncommon, and that non-Calvinists don’t give to the needy.

Oh well. Guess God in his sovereign will blinded them to the Baptists and Catholics who help the poor.

It is kind of like the joke about a man who is given a tour of heaven. He meets folks of many denominations, but then is given slippers and told to make no noise. After creeping past a walled section, he is told he can speak again.

“What was that all about?”, he asks.

“That is the Baptist section. We keep it quiet because they think they are the only ones here...”
