Possibly, I am playing to my gifts. <BR/><BR/>But you know what I mean. What we call the preacher is not a matter of life or death, even though the two of us were taught that it was. <BR/><BR/>Majoring on the minors is much more an issue.Larry Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124477733714017000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-1155764591274097112006-08-16T16:43:00.000-05:002006-08-16T16:43:00.000-05:00bpbConcerning yesterdays post, I did not say CD- y...bpb<BR/><BR/>Concerning yesterdays post, I did not say CD- you cannot earn 10% on a CD but with wise investments on an IRA one might earn more.<BR/><BR/>Concerning poverty, if there is nothing anyone can do or not do to avoid poverty, why encourage your children to train for a profession or job?

Call me what you want--and people have called me lots of things--but I served as a pastor. Function determined form and informed terminology. <BR/><BR/>The notion that God cares about such matters is a clear demonstration of how off track the hermeneutics of my tradition's past has been.Larry Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124477733714017000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-1155741685174817332006-08-16T10:21:00.000-05:002006-08-16T10:21:00.000-05:00I'm surprised that the one thing anonymous chose t...I'm surprised that the one thing anonymous chose to comment on from this entry is an "I say po-tay-to, you say po-tah-to" kind of thing. <BR/><BR/>Willie could write a song about that...<BR/><BR/>"There are people hungry on the street, there are people burdened down and beat.
