Itchy and Scratchy
This is a bit upsetting. Did you know you can check your driver’s license online? Well, how about everyone else’s? Now you can see anyone’s Drivers License on the Internet, including your own. I just searched for mine and *BOOM* there it was… picture and all (and I still look funny)! Modern technology at its best, I guess. Privacy, where is our right to it? I removed mine and I suggest you all do the same, unless you have a great picture and don’t mind everyone having your address to boot. Go to the website. Just enter your name, City and State to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked “Please Remove.” And follow the information to have your license removed from the internet for public viewing. It will still remain on file with the law enforcement. Here’s the link: http://www.license.shorturl.com/
Now, I checked this on snopes.com and this is the real deal. It is going to be on the News all day long today, so be ready to hear about it so much, you’ll get sick of hearing it. Another thing, get this sent around to your contacts ASAP! We don’t need this spreading around. PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS: You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attached file called “Invitation” regardless of who sent it. It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which “burns” the whole hard drive (C drive) of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list. That is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. If you receive a mail called “invitation”, though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN and has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered my McAfee yesterday and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Drive, where the vital information is kept.

The umpire was not amused, and saw to it that Mr. Snapp was ejected from the game.
Now, if you haven’t already done so: “WHAT?!” Now, some of this stuff is true, and some of it is not true. What are you going to believe? There is always the “ignorant card”, so you can believe everything that is served up nice and neat for you. There are other options. Now, I can personally tell you that CJ Wilson said it himself that Mark DeRosa sings in the shower. He also admitted to being a surfer dude. You can look at him and tell he’s a bit eccentric. Kinsler, I figured that out from talking with him. A very nice guy, I can’t say that enough about him. I’ll give you those, because you won’t find out those things, typically anyway, on the internet when you do any research, should you choose.
Question: If someone tells me something to be fact, should I research it out for myself?
Answer: It really depends. I guess the real question is: Is it going to cause a big cause/effect or not? You don’t have time to question if the Subway sandwiches are really 7 grams of fat or less, but if there is time to do personal research, GREAT! That sort of thing could be timely or not, depending on how the research is done. I am not all that interested in researching Subway sandwiches, so you won’t find that on my blog.
Acts 17:1-15
When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he said. Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women.
But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.” When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go.
As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.
When the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, they went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. The men who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
What is the Greek definition for the word “examined”? The word “anakrinō” means to examine or judge. Furthermore, to investigate, examine, enquire into, scrutinize, sift, question (specifically in a forensic sense of a judge to hold an investigation or to interrogate, examine the accused or witnesses). You can also look at it as to judge of, estimate, and/or determine (the excellence or defects of any person or thing). I took that from the Thayer dictionary. And so maybe those things above don’t require deep research, but the Bible does. More importantly, the example of the Bereans shows me that I need to study things out in such a manner as to sift, examine, investigate and even judge scriptures. I would think that with judging a scripture, it doesn’t mean since I don’t like this scripture, I throw it out and not obey it. That would be sin and I don’t want to go there. I get there to often as it is, I don’t need another scratch on my vinyl (that’s a record for those who aren’t up with the past). It’s important that if someone says something, especially with scripture, to check it out for myself. Should someone come up to me and say that the Pope doesn’t follow this scripture and he is in sin, it would be good to check it out the scripture, right? And Mr. Pope sins, although I surprising couldn’t find a website that would actually come out and say it.
This was all I could find: “It’s my understanding that the Holy Father receives the sacrament of reconciliation weekly.” A good dodge statement, but in a sense, it does say that, and I am assuming that when they say Holy Father that it isn’t the Father in heaven but some man on Earth, he [the Pope] sins. God can not sin and the Pope is not God. Some have said that Peter was the first Pope, but he didn’t really lead the church. Paul did more of that, at least for the Gentiles. Peter focused more on the Jews. And neither claimed to be a Pope, which should be noted. Another thing that should be noted is that Peter and Paul both sin, which is noted in the Bible. I’ve seen people cry on television for Michael Jackson and the Pope. I still don’t know why. Both breathe air and will some day pass away, but God lives forever. When I say my prayers at night, during the day, I should pray for those people, MJ and the Pope, but not pray TO them. Otherwise, I’ll just end up being a monkey on a driver’s license: funny and yet sad. Johnny Out.
