Friday Lutherans in Space Open Comments

The Lutherans really get around. They’ve apparently made it to a location 13.04 billion light-years away in deep space. Of course, that would imply that they were also around 13.04 billion years ago.
I may need to rethink my premises…

Kaboom!

I want to try all BB flavors before I die. Not to say that is my main goal in life, but it is on the list.

I have been given flack because of my distrust of D_n Patrick (aka) politicians. This is from Texas Monthly 4 years ago. (Ya gotta register,FREE, to read the entire story) Compare the love fest between Perry and D_n now compared to why he was so popular “In the Beginning”. Patrick routinely criticizes the usual Democratic targets: Bill and Hillary Clinton,… Read more »

Squawk #65;
I agree. I hope I didn’t leave the impression that i was trying to judge Dan’s heart. I was only skeptical as to how he used his faith politically. I do not doubt Dan’s goodness, sincerity (for the most part), nor his personal testimony of our Savior, Jesus the Christ. And God bless him for it.
