Rudolph the red nose reindeer seems to have gotten mad at his trainer over the summer. So it appears that he set up a boxing match with the trainer to teach him a lesson. Mighty funny stuff.

Noodling: you have to watch this video
Friday, December 7th, 2007
It’s not on youtube and this website doesn’t support putting on blogs other than blogger and the wordpress.com sites, so you’ll have to click on the link. But it’s a video of two guys noodling. Here’s info on the sport from wikipedia:
Noodling is the practice and sport of fishing for catfish using only one’s bare hands. Flathead catfish live in holes or under brush in rivers and lakes and thus are easy to capture due to the static nature of their dwelling. To begin, a noodler goes underwater to depths ranging from only a few feet to up to twenty feet, placing his hand inside a discovered catfish hole. If all goes as planned, the catfish will swim forward and latch onto the fisherman’s hand, usually as a defensive maneuver in order to try to escape the hole. If the fish is particularly large, the noodler can hook the head around its gills.
This is insane!
Non-Christians can’t pray at Baptist Church
Monday, November 19th, 2007
What the @#$$%##? According to a story from Fox News, Hyde Park Baptist Church, a SBC church in Austin, TX, prohibits non-Christians from praying on its campus. The church canceled an interfaith Thanksgiving service that was to be held on their campus. Their reasoning was that church officials thought “interfaith” meant different sects of Christianity.
According to the article:
Gill said much of Hyde Park’s concern was over some of the actual prayers that would take place on the premises.
“The fact that there was going to be a prayer service caused them concern,” she said. “The space for our prayer afterward, that’s what caused the most amount of alarm. That was influential in making their decision.”
Now I can appreciate that you don’t want people channeling spirits or you don’t want devil worshipers setting up shop on your campus, but it’s just a bit odd when you won’t let Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc come to your church and sit down and have a meal together, build relationships and share in prayer. Why not engage those people in relationships and build bridges and create an opportunity to talk later about Jesus and the restoration of life that he came to bring? Why not participate in a group that is trying to work together and bring peace to a city? It’s obvious the church doesn’t want to do that because they aren’t a member of this interfaith group and the didn’t send anyone to participate, though they were still invited to the new location. I’m beside myself…
It appears that the church members didn’t agree too much with the decision of the church leaders. According to the article:
there has been talk that some Hyde Park congregants were disappointed that their church decided not to provide its facilities for the event.
“What I’ve heard is that the congregation was disappointed, especially because many of them do not feel this way,” she said. “There’s a whole community that goes to this church – it’s not their fault.”
I’m embarrassed to be SBC even more than before.
