This Could Spell Trouble For My Recreation Budget
Dogwood Trace Golf Course opened officially yesterday to rave reviews. I'm sure my wife will be thrilled to read this.
For those that play the maddening yet addicting game of golf, here's two bits of wisdom for you. Jamie Fagan, the Pro and GM at the new course, used to be the PGA Pro at Golf Galaxy. I took a lesson from him when I first picked up the game. He's a super nice guy and a really good teacher. I'm glad he's been given this opportunity and I would recommend him to anyone that needs some lessons.

Paul Verhoeven is a turd Part II
In my post yesterday, I alerted everyone to the article on FOXnews.com about Paul Verhoeven (the BRILLIANT mind that brought us 'Basic Instinct', 'Showgirls', and 'Starship Troopers' to name of few) has written a book that makes some ridiculous and offensive claims about Jesus Christ. One of Vehoeven's claims, that the article mentions, is that Jesus was conceived due to the fact that Mary was raped by a Roman soldier.
According to the article, Verhoeven has been actively involved with the Jesus Seminar. Please take time to read up on that group and make your own conclusion on their work.
After a lot of thought, I've decided not really to rant as much as I planned. I can't convince anyone to believe or not believe in the divinity of Christ. I can tell you that while I often question parts of the Bible, my faith in Christ is solid.
Below is a quote, courtesy of Wikipedia, of C.S. Lewis from his book Mere Christianity:
Christian apologist C. S. Lewis popularised this argument in a 1943 BBC radio broadcast which later formed the basis of his book Mere Christianity.
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ... Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God." [4]
I think this is a great argument for the divinity of Christ.
Thoughts anyone?

MSNBC.com now attacking teen stars for doing the right thing
If you read my blog, you know I have three kids. My two oldest are girls. They both love the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus.
MSNBC.com has an article today slamming Cyrus and the Jo Bros for talking about their chastity vow. Here's the article. We all know the slant of MSNBC. I'm not gonna get in to that here.
The thing that really gets me is that the "author" justifies this critical article by stating that others have claimed chastity till marriage before and failed. Great reasoning. Nothing like just not doing the right thing because you know it's hard and people have tried before and couldn't do it.
I'm tired of media outlets attacking purity and traditional values as things that are foreign to this country.
Plus, I'm also tired of people using generalities about performers like Cyrus and saying she's a "just half naked virgins writhing" around. Believe me when I say that I've seen A LOT of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montanna. I've never seen her do anything close to half naked writhing.
I guess it's your typical attack article aimed at people that are popular and *GASP* actually good role models.
