The 700 Club did a story on Tim Gill Wednesday. It was interesting. If you do a search of his name on Google, particularly Google News, you'll find his name all over the place.
Tell me what you think.

New Renee O'Connor interview. She played "Gabrielle" in "Xena: Warrior Princess," but then you already knew that.

Ausxip has scans of the SFX article looking back at Xena: Warrior Princess. It includes a comment about shows on religion including the rise of Christianity.

I don't think I've introduced you all to a great site. At least women who have had hysterectomies or contemplating them, or are enduring menopause or cancer issues would find it interesting. Women there offer a lot oof good support. It's called Hystersisters.

Miley Cyrus & Jesus: Here's a neat little story. I'm a little old to be a Miley fan but she seems like a nice young lady and I have watched "Hannah Montana" a few times and it's cute. I'd let my cats watch it since there's no objectionable material. LOL

Watched "The Final Inquiry" last night. I enjoyed it. Jerusalem and the time immediately after the resurrection of Christ is the backdrop for a Roman general's quest on behalf of the emperor to find out why there was an earthquake and eclipse all across the known world at the same time. The emperor has found a connection -- that it's linked to the death on a cross of a man from Nazareth. Now there's a cult sprung up around that man's death and what the believers say is his resurrection. Is it true? The emperor wants to find out and sends this Roman general.

Just watched, "Facing the Giants."
All I can say is AWESOME MOVIE!

A new interview with Renee O'Connor about her "Boogeyman 2" role, her divorce, writing, and future plans.

I'm sorry, but I didn't find out about this until today.
Pawling, NY — Ruth Stafford Peale, chairman of the board emeritus and co-founder of Guideposts, died Wednesday, February 6, 2008, at her home in Pawling, NY. She was 101.

"The Book and the Rose"

Just watched this short flick (30 minutes) on TBN. Pretty great. Based upon a Max Lucado short story.

Churches vital after deadly storms

LAFAYETTE, Tenn. - On the way to this storm-ravaged community, a billboard bubbling with fresh paste rises over a rural road with a message from the Gospel of Matthew: "Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

The Associated Press & CNN are reporting that Mitt Romney is suspending his campaign for Republican nominee for the presidency.

Please help my fellow Tennesseans devasted by the flooding. If you can give, please do. One place I suggest is Tennessee Baptist Disaster Relief. I'm sure there will be other organizations providing relief, I watched a television broadcast of Operation Blessing helping them this morning.

It's not only Tennessee hurting, but several states in the South. I'll post some other articles dealing with this shortly.

"SNOW BUDDIES"

The newspaper where I work got this letter yesterday. Thought I'd pass it along.

February 5, 2008
Dear Editor: People who care about animals should bypass Disney’s straight-to-video movie Snow Buddies. Not only is the story line trite and stale, at least 25 puppy “actors” were removed from the set during filming when many of them fell ill. Three of the puppies had to be euthanized. These weeks-old puppies were taken from their nursing mothers to be used like disposable props. The producers of this movie exploited these babies specifically to target the lucrative children’s movie audience. Kids love puppies, but animals should not suffer and die so that studios can sell tickets. In addition, movies that use purebred dogs often cause people who see the film to impulsively run out and buy a dog of that breed. When the novelty quickly fades, animal shelters become flooded with dogs who were “stars” one day and inconveniences the next. Parents can use this opportunity to explain to their puppy-loving children what happens to the animals when a movie like Snow Buddies wraps.

'XENA' Star

New Renee O'Connor interview! If you don't know who she is -- shame on you -- she is most widely known as "Gabrielle" in "Xena: Warrior Princess."

WHY GOD'S PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Evangelicals have a pitiful record when it comes to voting. Over the last 30 years, on average only half of eligible evangelicals took the time and made the effort to go to vote in a general election for a president, and far fewer bothered to vote in the primaries.
It's fair to ask, "So what?" Does this really matter to God? Is He really concerned about the primaries?

Archeological find linked to another obscure O.T. figure

JERUSALEM (BP)--A 2,500-year-old stone seal unearthed during a Jerusalem archeological dig in early January isn't tied to the obscure Old Testament family initially thought, but instead possibly to an equally obscure and completely different biblical family.In mid-January, archeologist Eilat Mazar told the Jerusalem Post she had found a seal -- designed to make impressions in soft clay -- engraved with the name of the "Temech" family, the same family found in the list of Jewish families in Nehemiah 7 that returned to Jerusalem after being taken into exile by the Babylonians.But as it turns out, Mazar was misreading the inscription. Because the seal is designed to make an impression, the letters are written in mirror-image form, similar to how the word "ambulance" is written on the front of such a vehicle. Following critiques from scholars such as the ones associated with the Biblical Archeology Society, Mazar now acknowledges the letters should read Sh-l-m-t. (Hebrew had no vowels.) If that's the case, then scholars believe it could refer to Shelomith, a man mentioned in Ezra 8:10 who also returned from Babylon to Jerusalem, or to Shelomith, the daughter of Zerubbabel mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3:19.
