i like listening to news-guy's broadcast - after all, its not like Christian news-casts can be found just any old where. Anyway,

value his ministry enough to contribute some to it each year.  Yeah, not much, but it is what it i$.   And sure, don't always agree with what he says, but such is life in the real world.  Per a recent broadcast of his, he said that Mexico is 1% farmed, and something like 30% forest.  He said our planet could sustain 20 billion people.  But that sounds like every forest would be cut down - every field would be turned into 500 square foot houses, to house 7+ kids per household.  Uh, sounds a bit crowded.  And where would animals live?

While i'm know better enough to not argue with Scripture, (because the Lord holds all the cards, and i don't) there is one area of Scripture that i have a really hard time with.  That is: the mandate to not use any birth control.  Granted, that time of life is past-tense (and neither so i miss the drama, not even one iota) but still, know in my heart, that if i could do a do-over, there's no freaking way i'd want a bunch of kids, not have a job, and be financially dependent on a man.  NUH-UH!!!  

Sounds feministic?  Yeah, well, what freaking ever!  Point is: seen too many times, where that leads - btw, talk to my mom, for starters, and then go talk to that 95 year-old lady who lives in that welfare apartment in town.  Btw, she's only been to church once this month - been a cold January...might have to do with lack of warm clothing.  In other words, the mom of like 4 or 5 kids, she didn't have a job, and was dependent on a man...yeah :/   And then, not too long ago,  some other pee-wee,  in her extended family, had stolen from her.

Bible says, think around Matthew 7 or so, you can tell a tree by its fruits.  And, evidently, per the history, her late husband didn't care enough to provide ... yeah, like that's breaking news.

Anyway, break's past over.  Back to work.
