According to Rich Jesus, Christianity is not a call to poverty
2009-12-01 03:11:00 My favorite part of the website for Rich Jesus is the notion that Christians believe they are supposed to be poor. Really? You don’t say…

I'm in an Open Relationship with Jesus
2009-09-20 23:07:00 Someone close to me was telling me this morning about her struggle to accept her rabbi's teaching that she should love God more than anything or anyone. "I can't help it," she said, "I love my daughter more!"In the past I might have given a neat response, paraphrasing Tim Keller, to the effect that idolizing any created thing puts unbearable pressure on yourself (because you can lose it through failure or mischance) and on the one idolized (who feels compelled to be impossibly perfect). C.S. Lewis illustrates this distortion in The Great Divorce, his fantasy of damned souls on a field trip to heaven, through the character of an old woman who mourned her dead son so obsessively that she neglected the surviving members of her family. Lewis suggests that over time, the object of her passion became her own identity as a mourner, rather than the real person she had lost. To love someone properly, on the other hand, is to recognize that you are not the author of the universe, which soon...

St Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
2009-09-20 19:08:00 The Community doing the laundry 1895 The Community in the fields July 1896 Here we see the Doctor of the Church, St Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, doing the laundry and working in the fields. At the same time she was doing and writing what Pope John Paul II called ?her doctrine [which] is at once a confession of the Church's faith, an experience of the Christian mystery and a way to holiness.? For some reason it is difficult to imagine other Doctors like Saints Jerome, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas in similar scenes. Not long after she died on 30 September 1897, Pope Pius X declared that she was "the greatest saint of modern times". Benedict XV, praised the knowledge of divine realities which God granted to Thérèse in order to teach others the ways of salvation Pius XI underscoring her special divine enlightenment and described her as a teacher of life. He considered Thérèse of Lisieux the "Star of his pontificate? after he had beatified and canonised her. ...

Madonna fa piangere il baby boyfriend Jesus Luz
2009-08-20 22:11:00 Madonna fa piangere il baby boyfriend Jesus Luz Il 22nne modello brasiliano non riesce a darsi pace di Iannozzi Giuseppe Madonna è una giovane cinquantunenne cattiva, molto cattiva, ha difatti fatto scoppiare in lacrime il suo baby boyfriend. Solo qualche giorno fa la popstar Madonna affondava nelle limpide acque di Portofino per finire presto fra le braccia del ventiduenne modello brasiliano Jesus. Il novello Poseidone di turno, sol ieri, era felice come una pasqua, oggi non più. Madonna, in tenuta da basket, maglietta e pantaloncini con su stampati il n. 1 e il suo nome, ha deluso i paparazzi che erano pronti ad arpionare coi loro teleobiettivi la superstar in costume. Non potevano immaginare che Madonna si sarebbe presentata con addosso una tenuta tutt’altro che sexy. Qualcuno si è consolato sperando d'aver maggior fortuna al largo, riuscendo magari nell’impossibile impresa di fotografare il fantasma della bianca balena Moby Dick. Madon...

Albert Pujols: God? Or Just Jesus?
2009-04-24 20:48:00 There are times in the life of a Cub fan when you just don't want to talk about certain things. For example: after the end of Game 7 in the 2003 NLCS, I really wasn't up for the debate about whether or not Alex Gonzalez could have turned two and ended the inning. After the 2008 NLDS, the construction of our lineup wasn't at the top of my list of things I really REALLY wanted to discuss. And when our bullpen has no lefty, our 3-6 hitters have a combined average of less than the price of a Happy Meal, and we're about to spend the weekend taking on the hottest team in baseball, I really don't want to talk about this: Is Pujols among the most perfect players...ever?
