  1. Foxworthy "you are a redneck if your mother has ever been thrown out of a sporting event"
  2. I love the black uniforms as a one time only tribute.
  3. I thought he threw them out of the gym until further notice, and took the cook from Wildcat lodge and took their lunch money. Where are you LABS?
  4. I would agree that Dave Ramsey is as close as you can get to biblical finance. Start with one of his books.
  5. Spencer Hutchinson of Russell is a force on the d-line for Russell.
  6. I was looking at the glass half full too---------------------------until Florida broke the glass.
  7. Without starting another debate on the definition of "christian" I will add that Obama does not appear to be a born again christian. When I hear the word christian, and when I refer to myself as a christian, I mean "a born again christian." This would mean washed in the blood of my savior Jesus Christ. If christian means something else to you then go with it.
  8. FALSANI: The conversation stopper, when you say you're a Christian and leave it at that. OBAMA: Where do you move forward with that? This is something that I'm sure I'd have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and prostelytize. There's the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven't embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they're going to hell. FALSANI: You don't believe that? OBAMA: I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. FALSANI: Do you believe in heaven? OBAMA: Do I believe in the harps and clouds and wings? FALSANI: A place spiritually you go to after you die? OBAMA: What I believe in is that if I live my life as well as I can, that I will be rewarded. I don't presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing. LBBC I am with you. There are a lot of things in his outlook on christianity that I disagree with. And yes I would rather have a president that is guide by God in everything he does. I do not think this is the case.
  9. I feel obligated to feed any hungry child anywhere anytime for any reason. I also feel obligated to do what I can to help a healthy unemployeed adult find some kind of honest work or method of feeding their family. This could include plowing them a garden, helping them enroll in some kind of classes or vo-tech program or helping them secure a loan for a carpet cleaning van etc.
  10. You are certainly not the only person to misinterpret the difference in wine and strong drink. I believe any time we study we need to make sure we are guided by the holy spirit and prayer. Here is another study that makes more sense to me. A lot of people think that the Bible condones drinking of alcohol because it talks about wine. They say, “Didn’t Jesus make wine for a wedding?” What many people don’t know is that the word “wine” in the Bible is a generic term. The context (words before and after the word wine) in each case indicates whether it was fermented or not. In, Isaiah 16:10b, grape juice is called “wine” (yayin) when it is still in the press, saying, "No treaders will tread out wine in the presses" where it clearly cannot be fermented yet. Now, “Did Jesus make alcohol for the wedding in Cana? We find the story in, John 2:1-11, in the New Testament. The person in charge of the wedding, after he had tasted the wine Jesus had just made, commented…”you have kept the good wine until now.” Good wine was fresh grape juice, the fermented grape juice was considered inferior. Another way we know that this was not an alcoholic drink is because Jesus always obeyed the Father. In, Proverbs 23:31 and 32 it commands, “Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper.” No, Jesus did NOT make a fermented wine at this wedding, but rather He gave a wedding gift of at least 120 gallons of fresh unfermented grape juice. In another place in the Bible, Deuteronomy 32:33, it says fermented wine is poison. Alcohol is a toxic mind-altering drug. Alcohol causes ill effects on the digestive, muscular, skeletal, nervous and circulatory systems. It causes cirrhosis of the liver, jaundice, pancreatitis, and blackouts along with many other sicknesses. The Bible says wine is a mocker, intoxicating drink arouses fights, whoever is led astray by it is not wise! Proverbs 20:1 We need to trust God’s Word, God does not lie. The misunderstanding is with us; because in our culture all wine is fermented, but not in the Bible. Some people also think the Bible encourages drinking of a little alcohol because Paul told Timothy, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your often infirmities.” Paul was telling Timothy to drink grape juice for medicinal purposes. Remember the Bible does not use the word “grape juice”, but always the word “wine” which can be either fermented or unfermented depending on the context. Getting drunk should not be taken lightly because the Bible says: “Don’t you know that those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshipers, adulterers or homosexuals-will have no share in His Kingdom. Neither thieves or greedy people, ‘drunkards’, slanderers, or robbers.” 1 Cor. 6:10. http://bible-christian.org/wine.html
  11. The Bible often refers to new wine or strong drink etc. There is a difference. Wine ie the juice of the vine. I do not believe you can make new wine alcoholic. Wine has to ferment to be alcoholic.
  12. I really believe Jesus turned the water into new wine which is grapjuice. Regardless, for me drinking and tobacco is a sin because God told me not to use them. A lot of people who have a personal relationship with God will be convicted of different things as their relationship grows. In my opinion.
  13. I have been a UK fan for 45 years. There is no excuse for Kentucky to lose to teams like VMI and Gardner. Gillispie has certainly not proven anything yet. He may be as good as some of you think but I judge coaches and programs by wins and loses. Kentucky is the winningest program in the history of college basketball and BCG is not as good as Tubby. That is what the record tells me.
  14. I cannot find this in my Bible either
