Not Again!

Last evening, Rush Limbaugh was caught coming through customs with a bottle of Viagra which did not appear to prescribed for him. His attorney has said that this was done for "privacy reasons".

See Here.

While I question the wisdom of any doctor who would make a prescription out to someone other than the intended patient, or the pharmacist who would change the label on the bottle.,This is in the scheme of things, minor. The larger concern is that the man who has claimed to be a role model, and who has publicly(I believe) claimed to be a Christian, is apparently living a lifestyle which is at odds with his claims. It seems that Rush is one more public figure who has proven to have feet of clay. While we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, when an individual such as Rush does so, and does so publicly, it hurts us all.

To be blunt, even if the viagra was properly prescribed, and had been properly labeled, why does Rush need it? Rush is unmarried, as a single man, he should have no need of viagra. This is of greater concern to me than some sort of petty bottle labeling violation.

The ultimate music pun.

Got this from my sister, I have no idea where she got it:


Subject: The ultimate music pun.

Thought you would appreciate this. Pass along to all your musical friends.

A 'C', an E-flat, and a 'G' go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au natural.

Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest - and closes the bar.

New Experience

This past weekend, our Pastor was out of town, and due to an unusual set of circumstances, all of the available substitute ministers were not available. Instead, I led all three of our services. Since this was my first time to do such, our pastor wrote the sermon, and all I had to do was to read it. Still, the experience was a new one, and in spite of my nervousness, things went well. I pretty much had the nervousness under control, until sometime on Friday night when I suddenly realized the responsibility involved in being the leader of a worship service. Then, I really got nervous, so nervous that I completely forgot one of the prayers on Saturday evening.

Sometimes the Truth does get out

Sometimes, despite the best efforts of the mainstream media, the truth gets published. It seems that our economy is cooking along just fine, and that the approval ratings of the media are even lower than those of the President. Check this out.

Finished!

One more class completed!

I have now taken three of these classes, and I sometimes think that the most important thing I learn is that I have a lot more to learn!

Test Tomorrow

Well folks, tomorrow I have the last class of my current course. Part of the syllabus for this course is a major project, which is due tomorrow. I chose to write a 6 session study on Faith, and it has proven to be far more of a challenge than I expected. This project is due tomorrow, along with the Final exam. Wish Me luck!
