The sermon is finally done. It is not my best, but if anyone wants to read it and offer constructive criticism, I am all ears. This week has been draining, especially with a lack of sleep for several days.

2 Tim 1:7 seems to suggest that fear is also the opposite of power, love, and sanity (Bubba's paraphrase). I really enjoyed your sermon; thanks for sharing it. - friarw - -

The Story Behind the Gay Kiss That Quieted Campus Preacher - http://mashable.com/2013...

"It started with a simple question. "Anthony, want to make out?" But this wasn't a simple proposition between two friends. It was meant to prove a point. And the resulting scene, caught on video by a random bystander, has been gaining traction online. The clip features two college students, Kyle Murray and Anthony Lopez, successfully silencing an anti-gay preacher at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Calif." - friarw - -

Stockholm's male train drivers wearing skirts to work - Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"More than a dozen male employees working for the Roslagsbanan train services in the Swedish capital have been wearing skirts in order to keep cool. One of the drivers, Martin Åkersten, explained that temperatures can hit 95F (35C) in the train cab during the summer. Uniform regulations by the train company Arriva state that skirts or long trousers are acceptable. At a meeting last year, drivers were told that shorts were not allowed." - friarw - -

The broader question would be why the cab temperature is that high. I can't imagine it is like that for the passengers? - friarw - -

Got some sleep last night, but woke up right after 7 am. About 6 hours total. Feeling halfway human now.

Desiree has just been taken for her catscan. I was kinda hoping for a little more sleep last night, but so far none. That's just the way it goes sometimes, right?

Sitting with Desiree in the emergency room. She has some severe abdominal pain. :^)

She had a burst ovarian cyst, which probably had nothing to do with the pain she was feeling, since that pain was far removed from the cyst area. They don't know what was and is causing the pain, but it is not appendicitis, nor is it any blockage in the intestinal track, which were my biggest worries and the reason we came to the ER. Rest and painkillers and a heating pad are the doctor's prescription. - friarw - -

Tired. Do I drink a cup of coffee so I can stay awake or do I go to bed early? I like the former idea better . . .

teaching cancer to cry - http://www.teachingcancertocry.com/...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"I am Ezra Caldwell. I’m 39 so far, and was diagnosed with cancer in the summer of 2008. Since then I’ve been through two major surgeries, each followed by 6 month rounds of chemotherapy. In the late fall of 2012, I was diagnosed with recurrent stage IV metastasis and given 6-8 months to live. As a friend said, “sometimes what doesn’t kill you just keeps on trying!” Over the years, this blog has been a way to keep people up to date as treatment progressed. At this point, I have decided with those who are the closest to me, not to treat the disease any further. I will keep documenting the progress of the disease and the experience as long as I am able to." - friarw - -

"The Rev. Will D. Campbell, a giant in the Civil Rights Movement, died Monday night in Nashville from complications following a stroke. He was 88. His friend, the writer John Egerton, sent an email early this morning notifying Campbell’s friends. Campbell was a significant voice for integration during the Civil Rights Movement while at the same time ministering to those who were against it. “If you’re gonna love one, you've got to love 'em all," he repeated thousands of times." - friarw - -

"The other day, a panel of male Fox News contributors described in great detail how women who are breadwinners are the source of all evil in America (or something). "The natural world isn't even like that!" they proclaimed, conveniently ignoring all facts about the natural world. Megyn Kelly, aFox News anchor, had a bone to pick with that — and boy, does she pick it." - friarw - -
