The Boys can’t Hang with Oregon Girl

The Church is not a building. She is a people. People who regularly attend church services go to church but may or may not be part of the Church.

U.S. Navy Projects Power, Mexican Navy hunts sharks

Akula (”shark” is the NATO code name for a class of Russian submarines (Ivan, of course, calls them something else).

There is no Such Thing as Gay Marriage

Yes the courts and the lobbies that bought them off can shove the concept of gay “marriage” down our collective throats and even if perhaps in the not so distant future they will, in Orwellian fashion, force resistant churches to “marry” homosexuals, the union will still not be (it cannot be) marriage.
