Motörhead Fans are a Bunch of Softies (who knew?)

After our awesome time a couple of weeks ago at the Rush concert, Bo and I had a great opportunity to go to yet another great concert last night.

Jesus Take the Wheel (So I Can Key My Ex’s Car)

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can’t do this all my own
I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I’m on

Oprah, the new Jim Jones

This is pretty weird stuff… (and it did not come from the Onion). What’s your take?

Living Together Before Marriage

OK, I’m going to pose a quick question…
Can any or all of you provide Biblical justification for not living together before marriage. Now I know all the verses about Marriage and I know all the ones about sexual immorality but I cannot seem to find any verses that specifically apply to living together. A “clear” [...]

Wicked Web

Waterdeep is one of my favorite bands. Unfortuantely not too many people are aware of thier music. There lyrics are incredibly real, not just a bunch of fluff… I was just listening to this song and wanted to share it.
