Praying for complete strangers is nice and dandy, especially if you do it online. But I propose a different approach. We should ask God to open a twitter account. We can all then follow him and just send him tweets. My first tweet is going to be:
Enjoy a couple of actual entries from the website:
HI – sorry to bother you, but my household is under huge attack right now. i am preparing a video clip with family photos for a 50th anniversary party for my mom & dad, & all hell seems to be breaking out against me. i know there’s a huge spirit of rejection in my family, & it appears to be trying to kill the project

Pray for the big fat backslidden church playing hypocrite & self proclaim Chief Apostle Beverly Armstead. The demons make her believe that she is some kind of Apostle when she is nothing, but the devil. Pray that God will expose this wolf in sheep clothing and she get her deliverance from demons. thank you,
Pop quiz everyone. In this day and age, any bank that is not in financial trouble should be congratulated? Right? Well, not according to the FDIC.
East Bridgewater Savings Bank is a small community bank in Boston. It has zero bad or delinquent loans. It has no foreclosures. It ended 2008 with $135 million in assets. It squeezed a profit of $87,000 last year.
That’s pretty good, don’t you think? FDIC disagrees. It slapped the bank with a “needs to improve” negative review, citing that Bridgewater Savings is too careful and stingy with its money. For instance, Bridgewater’s net loans and leases equaled 21 percent of assets. Compare that with 72 percent among 385 savings banks across the country with assets between $100 million and $300 million. → source
I would put a link to Bridgewater’s website but, believe it or not, it doesn’t have one. That’s another sore point with FDIC which is faulting Bridgewater for insufficient advertising and marketing.
A 62 year-old woman employed as an administrative assistant at a Church in Arlington, Washington has been accused of stealing more than $73,000 from the Church. In her defense, she claims that “Satan had a big part in the theft.” → source
So, let me see if I’ve got this right. The church lady says that someone made her steal. Oh, let’s see. Who could it be? Who could it be? Could it be . . . SATAN!
Don’t ask me how I came across this bit of news. I don’t even remember. But you’ll love this display of unbelievable lack of education, culture, and common sense.
State of Florida is working on legislation to make bestiality illegal. OK, good! I’m all for that! It”s perhaps a little too late, but better late than never.
The language of this proposal was carefully chosen to target those who derived or helped others derive “sexual gratification” from an animal. The amendment specified that conventional dog-judging contests and animal-husbandry practices are permissible.
The vote on the amendment was temporarily held up by Senator Larcenia Bullard (D, FL) who had a few unanswered questions: “People are taking these animals as their husbands? What’s husbandry?” → source
Even after it was explained to her that husbandry was the rearing and caring of animals, she still didn’t quite get it. She asked: “So that maybe have been the reason the lady was so upset about that monkey?” She was, of course, referring to a recent horrific incident in New York where a woman’s pet chimpanzee viciously attacked another person.
These are the politicians that we, the people, elect to Congress.
Some 16 year-old girl (reportedly with a history of mental illness) gets pregnant. She successfully conceals her pregnancy from everyone. Now, I have certainly read similar stories in the past, and I still can’t imagine how that is even remotely possible. My wife gave birth to a 6.5 pound baby (in the lower 25 percentile for new-borns), and she still looked like she was shoplifting a basketball during the last 2 months of her pregnancy.
Anyway, the girl visits the emergency room complaining of intermittent abdominal pain. While waiting to be examined, she goes to the bathroom and gives birth to a 7 week premature baby. She stuffs the baby in a Wonderbread bag and attempt to flush it down the toilet. The ever-alert security personnel, tipped off by a running pool of blood from underneath the bathroom door, break in and rushes the baby to neonatal intensive care unit. The baby is successfully resuscitated.
Wait, it gets more weird. It appears that several days later, social workers were discussing the merits of giving the baby back to her Mother – yes, the very same 16 year-old, mentally challenged Mother who tried to flush the baby down the toilet.
I have not researched the conclusion of this story. I had read enough. → source
So, what’s the lesson here? Don’t attempt to flush an unwanted baby down the toilet. You might end up getting the baby back.
Seems like Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
It all began on Monday when Sen. Grassley was steamed about AIG bonuses. He suggested that AIG executives should resign or “commit suicide.” Not surprisingly, he apologized the next day by claiming that he didn’t mean suicide literally. → source
So, how can Grassley redeem himself? Easy! He throws himself a press event and utters the following sentence: “From my standpoint, it’s irresponsible for corporations to give bonuses at this time when they’re sucking the tit of the taxpayer.”
One thing is not quite clear to me. Does the sucking tit part come before committing suicide or as a result of it?
To say that Newt Gingrich, former Congressman and potential 2012 Presidential candidate, has lots of ideas for America is a monumental understatement.
Some of Newt’s ideas are refreshingly radical and yet suspiciously alarming at the same time. He would like to require exercise for school children, extend tax breaks to grocery stores that open in the inner city, give bonuses to food stamp recipients who buy fruits and vegetables, make students walk to school if they live close enough, and lots more. → source
Wow, for a die-hard Republican, he certainly walks a thin tight rope of socialism. Government mandates? Really? I wonder what Boss Limbaugh thinks of all this. Gee, I sure hope Newt doesn’t have to apologize!
Anyway, Newt has a fabulously unbelievable – and to some extent deliciously unthinkable – idea for reforming health care. He believes it’s time to consider paying teenage girls not to get pregnant. → same source as above
Yes, you read right! Pay teenagers to not get pregnant. Ironically, his plan does not include paying teenagers to not have sex. That would be too logical – and admittedly difficult to verify without a chastity belt. Just pay them for not getting pregnant . . . while they inevitably engage in sex.
Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t that what Republicans typify as socialism? Isn’t it an example of government hand-out? Can it not be construed as a type of affirmative action? Doesn’t it circumvent personal responsibility without incentivising by the government? Will it require a bail-out at the end?
Newt also believes that states should consider paying teenage girls who become pregnant to take prenatal vitamins to forestall paying additional health expenses for neonatal care down the road. → same source as above
Pay careful attention to the above paragraph: states should consider . . . Some one please leave me a comment and explain conservatism idea of less government to me. How do we the people end up with less government in our lives if, at the end, we shift regulations and mandates from the federal government to the states?
