I need a laugh!-update
Mar 29
After I meditate on the Lord, pray a lot, eat my breakfast and have my morning java, each Monday I go the icanhascheezburger.com for my weekly laugh. I really recommend this therapy to those who really hate Monday mornings.

Regarding TIME Mag.
Mar 22
I find that TIME mag was once considered the most liberal magazine around for many years but I have found that is the most open regarding Religion of any of the secular publications today. The March 24, 2008 issue is no exception. It is well worth your while to read it, in particular, [...]
Heaven
Mar 18
(sumitted by archshrk)

Mar 12
Remember the word to Thy servant,
In which Thou hast made me hope.

Daylight Saving?
Mar 9
Why does man want to play God with daylight savings time? This inane practice only messes up my internal clock, makes people late to church, and confuses my cat. We can’t change the number of hours of daylight. The earth still circles the sun at the same rate. We don’t save [...]
Farewell to Melissa
Mar 8
On March 1, 2008 a young lady named Melisa was tragically killed. She was the daughter of a cousin of my wife and a very special person. While we had not seen much of her during her young life, to know her for a moment is to know her your whole life long.

(This is not a new POST but I thought I’d bring it up again for the new readers)
The name of my site, Wholy 4 Christ is a combination of a play on words and the fact that I can’t spell. It is as simple as that. What I sort of want to convey [...]
