Squatters living in foreclosed houses
By
Susan Johnson
This actually sounds like a good idea to me. Squatters are screened and they stay in the house until they are kicked out by the bank. If they don’t destroy the property, they’re providing a much needed service for their neighbors and the banks: they are keeping out people who would strip the place clean…
Good Friday
By
Susan Johnson
Today is a day of reflection on the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior. I was reading through John trying to decide what to blog about Christ’s crucifixion and I was struck once again by what John thought was important to include in his account of the crucifixion. It’s interesting to note how often the…
The Somali Pirates to Reuters reporter: “Please pray for us.”
By
Susan Johnson
I was reading this report in the NY Post and was amused by this: “We are surrounded by warships and don’t have time to talk,” one terrified pirate told a Reuters reporter who reached him via a satellite phone. “Please pray for us.” They board a US vessel looking to hold it for ransom and…
Schumer: Strong foreign policy is over
By
Susan Johnson
Well, at least he’s being honest! And there won’t be change and bipartisanship unless the Republicans accept the Democrats’ positions and Obama knows that. So he can tell the American people that he wants Congress to work in a bipartisan way but knows that’s not going to happen until the Republicans embrace the Democrats’ positions.…
Stop Spending Our Future
By

Comparisons between current spending and spending in the past. Pretty scary stuff! It’s amazing to me that we are just letting it happen:(via)
Hallmark’s Cancer Cards
By
Susan Johnson
So, I’m watching one of the morning talk shows and they have a segment on Hallmark’s cancer cards which were introduced in February. This was the first time I heard about them and I’m glad no one has sent me any because I would have been upset to get one. They said that they created…
Neil Cavuto interviews Rick Warren
By
Susan Johnson
Here’s an interview with Rick Warren where we learn that the recession appears to be contributing to church growth (Warren says he baptized 800 people recently). And that Obama is giving Rick Warren the runaround on stem cells (apparently, he’s too busy to find out the biblical reason that some Christians are pro-life — though,…
Crew retakes ship from Somali pirates
By
Susan Johnson
When I heard about the Somali pirates taking over an American ship I was shocked that the crew would let it happen but then I saw this update and wasn’t surprised: Late Wednesday morning, military sources told CBS News that the crew has regained control of the vessel by overpowering the pirates, taking one pirate…
Psalm 23
By
Susan Johnson
April is National Poetry Month, so in honor of it I thought I would share with you some thoughts on a perennial favorite psalm, Psalm 23. It is no doubt the most memorized of all the Psalms in the Psalter. It is one of the first Psalms that we teach our children since it’s easy…
Bill Keller: “Saving the New York Times now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause”
By
Susan Johnson
Equating saving a newspaper to saving Darfur demonstrates just why this paper is failing. They think that they are on a par with saving a country where thousands of people are being systematically killed, tortured and raped. The arrogance of this statement is just appalling: NEW York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller equated the Gray…
