Render to all men their dues. taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.—Romans 13:7 (Amplified)
I know this verse of scripture is not referring to fallen soldiers or heroes, but I felt is appropriate for this day. It is Memorial Day…
The other day I was at a birthday party hanging out with my roommate from college, his wife, and his 1-year-old baby. I don’t know how we got on the subject but we started talking about abortions.
Ultimately it came down to the age-old question: Are you pro-choice or are you pro-life?
My friend and his wife are pro-choice (by the way, they are dear friends of mine and I love them very much).
When the first resignation of a pope in 600 years coincides with the release of a book about a pope resigning, well, the result is bestseller status for an author.
Or, more precise, authors, as Tom Horn and Chris Putnam combined to pen “Petrus Romanus,” an exhaustive and heavily documented look at the mysterious “prophecies of St. Malachy,” a 12th century Irish priest.
“‘Petrus Romanus’ in the last two months has sold better than it did last year,” says Horn.
Pope Benedict’s stunning resignation not only created a firestorm of media coverage, but also drove Christian radio shows and publications to focus on the Vatican intrigue. Horn and Putnam have been inundated with media requests.
Now, the two have produced a new book, “Exo-Vaticana: Petrus Romanus, Project LUCIFER, and the Vatican’s Astonishing Exo-Theological Plan for the Arrival of an Alien Savior.” With a subtitle like that, Horn knows readers will be intrigued, and the built-in audience from the runaway sales of “Petrus Romanus” ensure another bestseller.
“Last year we were doing shows on ‘Petrus Romanus’ and on call-in shows, more callers were interested in the Vatican’s E.T. connection,” says Horn. “When we responded to those questions, those shows did better than the one on the prophecy of the popes!”
What is the meaning of life? Where did we come from, who are we, why are we here, how are we to live, and where are we going? These are the questions that everyone at some point in their life begins to ask themselves and whenever they do they are quickly told that no one can find the answers. Yet if no one is ever meant to find these answers why do we all inherently ask ourselves them?
MercyMe
You Are I Am
The veil is torn
And now I live with the Spirit inside
The same one, the very same one
who brought the Son back to life
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

CHAPTER ONE
Krista anxiously peered through the blinds. Becky was over two hours late, and she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with worry. This wasn’t like Becky at all.
She flipped the blinds closed and stomped off to the kitchen for one more cup of stale coffee that wouldn’t cream no…
