Are you interested in helping a growing church continue to grow?

Do you have a high view ’serving as part of discipleship’ and do you have a strong desire to reach unchurched young professionals and artists?

Cowboys vs Packers

The 10-1 Cowboys are about to kick off against the 10-1 Packers at Texas Stadium in Irving.
It’s gonna be a HUGE game!
The game should give the winner home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Packers won the coin toss and will receive the ball first.

Not looking forward to Bryant Gumbel and Chris Collingsworth broadcasting the game on the NFL network but either way it’ll be a great game.

Top News: Horses are allowed

The Top News story from the WDL yesterday:

Horses allowed for Christmas Parade

Equine entries will be allowed in this year’s Waxahachie Christmas Parade, scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1.
The annual event, co-sponsored by the Waxahachie Optimist Club and Waxahachie Chamber of Commerce, had previously announced no equine entries would be allowed in this year’s parade due to safety concerns caused by the lack of a staging area.

I want to comment more on this, but I’ll hold off for now.

Do you believe the Bible?

From last night’s GOP debate:

“Do you believe every word of this book… and I mean specifically, this book that I’m holding in my hand?”

The question was asked by 24 year old Joseph Dearing of Dallas. According to the DMN, he was disappointed in the answers given. He also hoped Ron Paul would have answered it. I’d be curious to know how he answered it as well.

I don’t know if it was part of Dearing’s point or not, but he appeared to hold up the Holy Bible, King James Version. The version itself was not mentioned during the answers or in the DMN story.

But here’s my question – does a person’s belief in Scripture, the Bible affect how you view them as a presidential candidate?
Is it important that they follow it, believe it’s the literal Word of God, read some of it or none of it?
