Should Fracking, a controversial process to unlock natural gas reserves, be banned?
With new research pointing a finger at Fracking as the cause of some earthquakes and concerns that the process is contaminating aquifers, perhaps it should.
Doubts concerning the process are certainly growing. What is your opinion on Fracking?
In an epic David versus Goliath battle, Tech’s big three—Google, Amazon, and Facebook—may blackout their sites in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) now being considered in Congress.
I love Google, Amazon, and Facebook. They’re among my favorite sites. Go for it guys.
Happy birthday Jesus!
Thank you Father for sending your Son to us in the form of a helpless babe. Thank you Father for allowing him to die on the Cross in order to take away our sin. Thank you Lord Jesus for being obedient unto death. Thank you Father for raising him from the dead three days later, proving your acceptance of him and his sacrifice. Thank you Lord Jesus for making peace between God and Man. We love you Lord Jesus.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Lands’ End is offering Mens’ regular size Mock Turtlenecks for $10! The normal price is $24.50. That’s almost like stealing; someone should call the cops!
Buy yours now! I just did!
P.S. Lands’ End paid me zilch for this article.

The result was predictable, inevitable. A black man with conservative ideals running for President of the United States. Attacks against the candidate were predictable, inevitable. The old South just as well had rose up against him. But it wasn’t the South. It was the Left, the North, the Bluecoats, “caring” liberals. A man destroyed, torn down by stereotypes we all hoped had died away. Black men can’t control themselves around women, especially white women. They’re aggressors with no other use in society. It was sad to see. Herman Cain dared to dream and paid the price. Oh America, America, land that we loved! What has become of thee! The pitiless and the cruel now guard thy gates…
Update 12/07/2011: …just learned that Black Entertainment Television will be interviewing Herman Cain in a program entitled “The Curious Case of Citizen Cain.” The program will air Thursday, December 8, at 9 PM ET/PT.

I picked up about 5 bushels of sweet potatoes yesterday from a farmer’s field that had just been harvested; done with permission of course.
The sweet potatoes I picked will be shared with some friends and some donated to a mission here in Raleigh—if they want them.
I think the farmer waited too late to harvest them. The field was loaded with over-sized sweet potatoes. There were still plenty of good ones left to choose from though.
Reflecting on my experience yesterday reminds me of Acts 14.17 :
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
It was a good experience for my child too, learning that food doesn’t magically appear in Walmart; people have to grow it, care for it, harvest it.
Thank you NC farmers.
