Apple rolled-out their new phones and tablets today. It’s clear that they’re missing Steve Jobs because their stuff today was boring, old, and overpriced. Both the phone and tablet announced today, are lower in specifications than existing products already offered or announced by Microsoft. Oh, on the new Apple tablet demoed today, they were using…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

As William blogged, the No Kings protests happened again last weekend. Sure, there was a decent turnout, but the protestors are paid. These events are financed by a billionaire in China. Oh, and billionaire George Soros threw in 72-million dollars as well. A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined…

Bloggers note: Yes, I am aware Sheriff Cooper is a Democrat. He was once in the State Assembly and held a leadership position. I also understand he has either 2 wives/girlfriends/baby mommas etc. I have also heard through the grapevine that he is a piece of work morally and personally. I am also aware I…

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Tomorrow is when the Church commemorates Jesus’ triumphant procession into the city of Jerusalem. If you recall, a few short days later, the same crowds that welcomed him went from shouting “Hosannah” to “Crucify Him”. “We have no king but Ceasar.” In like manner, crowds of…

This is blog post is the second concerning Moses, Elijah, and Scofield’s Premillennial Dispensationalism. Bases on previous notes written by Scofield, it appears that his eschatological scheme involves Moses and Elijah—yep, the same guys mentioned prominently in the Old Testament—will again walk planet earth so that they can be killed in Jerusalem; yes, the city…
