Yeah, I really mean “attack” environmentalism. It seems a group of Southern Baptists are trying to get their own to think (insert giggle here) about their response to Global Warming! Seems nothing can get SBs madder than being confronted by their own selfishness or phobias. You can take a look at some hilarious arguments at the SBC Outpost. Some of the more ingenious objections to the project are as follows:

“It seems like certain factions of the SBC are trying to look nice for liberals.”
Yeah, Southern Baptists are really concerned about what liberals think of them!

“I am all about saying “Hey lets help do our part to clean the world up” or something like that…but to actually attach our denomination’s name to such a highly debated topic as Global Warming (or Climate change…or whatever the PC name is for it this week) is beyond me.”
Highly debated? Why not try switching your TV off Faux News long enough to see what the real world thinks. Trust me…Fox News is a joke!

“As a Southern Baptist my first response was disappointment. I can’t judge motives but I do wonder if this was precipitated by a genuine concern over global warming or a concern that Southern Baptists be perceived as serious and mainstream in the world’s eyes.”
I can’t judge motives, but here I go! So funny!

“Go ahead and sign the “Stop the World from Warming” parade but don’t worry about the souls that will be burning… as our focus, once again, moves to something other than the great commission.”
You’re right. Southern Baptists can’t handle doing two things at once!

“At long last, we are PC”
I’m sure if they had known about the term PC at the time, many Southern Baptists who supported slavery and racism also would have used that weak kind of an argument to support their views.

The truth is, a lot of what was said and done in the Southern Baptist churches where I grew up was sinful. I thank God that much of it is not considered PC right now. That way those who aren’t racists or homophobes aren’t put off by what used to be allowed in some SB churches. Of course, they realize later that many SBs still want to say and do those things, but they might get a chance to “get saved” first!

I remember when one of our ministers was almost fired because he spoke out against racism. He was encouraged to “preach the Gospel” rather than get involved with politics. Guess we’ll never get over that “logic.”

I’d be laughing if it weren’t so sad.

We are testing out this little Cocker/Yorkie mix this weekend. If we keep her, we need a good name. So far Gumbo, Caramel, and a few others have been suggested. Since those are really lame, I thought I’d open it up to both of my readers for suggestions. HELP!

UPDATE: I guess we already have a name. We’ve chosen to name her Madison because she was born in Madisonville. We’ll call her Maddie. Because her temperament is much more laid back than Chloe’s, hopefully she can participate in Barkus next year.

I’m so glad I don’t have such an ego that I have to spend hours trying to get hits from other countries on my blog. That would be sad.

However, a couple of days ago I couldn’t get my website to load. I called BlueHost and the tech was very helpful. He wasn’t able to fix my site. He said that there were dozens of PHP issues. I found it strange because I hadn’t changed anything on my blog in days and certainly no PHP stuff. We agreed that I’d probably have to reload Wordpress to get it to work. But, a few hours later the site was back up.

Only now, instead of the 150 or so hits a day I’m only getting about 30-50. I don’t get those folks who type in “Dirty Stories” in Google anymore though. I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m so glad me ego isn’t tied to this. I’d be in a panic. If any of you out there have any idaes what might have happened let me know!

I think I’m on to something….when I try to access old posts like this one I can’t.

UPDATE: I think I got it! I changed my permalink structure.
