love.


I love Thee, Lord,
But I - for loving - gain no praise;
Thou loving first this wretch,
By grace.
And yet, what sweeter glory be,
But that Thy love should honor Thee?

Read C. S. Lewis, it's Intulectual [Unlike my Spelling & Grammar]]

[No grammatical or spelling changes have been made by the EDITORS, since apparently this fellow presumes to know 'intellectual' from 'non-intellectual'. Henceforth: Sic Semper Tyrannus Editorus; yessir, yessir, ye do no wrongs. Also The Editors Found this a great time to advertise.]

Haloo, as the jagullar cries out from the treetops, haloo to all. It is I, the angry Irishman, the narcissist, the harbinger of doom, and what ever else my own editor will call me. THat was sarcasm, I really like my editor. (Please, have mercy!)

But enough intros, this is far too important of a subject to just get lost in introduction. I am speaking of reading. No, not like you are now, reading blogs and news casts. I am talking about good, ole' fashion books. I will recommend some, but right now I'm presenting the argument why you need to read more than you are. This means YOU! If you read one book in six months, unless it's the Bible or Gysler's theology books, you are in sad shape. Okay, Lord of the Rings might take almost six if you're a slow reader. Might I recommend a speed reading course? Oh, too late, I just did. Speed reading is essential to reading all the good stuff you can before you die.

But why? Why read? "I watch the news, I know what's going on, why do I need Peter Pan or whatever?" If you read my blog, "Stop the presses," you know my opinion of the news. Aside from that, you, my friend, and I, are morons. Yes we are. And the only way to cure our ignorance and lack of depth is to add depth and knowledge to us. Television won't cut it, especially nowadays. How do you think C. S. Lewis became the genius he was? It wasn't school, he admits that in, "Surprised by Joy." He hated school, ironically. From birth, he was surrounded by room after room filled with books, books, and more books, and he devoured them, learning from great minds, making his greater than theirs by combining them to his own brain! If you have kids and they can read, bye books, not only Dr. Seuss, but Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Plato, Homer, R. A. Lafferty, William Langland, and any other clean, wholesome authors and books you can get a hold of. If they can't read, read to them, they understand a lot more than they can speak. Treating children like their dumb will make them dumb, treat them like the men and women you want them to turn out as, and punish them if they are defiant! I can't wait to have children myself, I plan on having at least twenty, if God allows, if not, maybe more. God willing, you understand.

But what I was taught, and what most chitlins are being taught, is that video games and movies are acceptable pass times, and Santa will bring you magic, and the Bunny will give you food, and the Great Pumpkin of Satan will give you pleasure. Instead of knowledge, we teach lies!

But hey, I can't preach, I'm not a reverend. So, if you are still reading this, and you get nothing else out of this, read to your kids, and let them read, read everything good and wholesome for the Lord. Oh, yes, and read the above authors, as well as Charles Schultz. P. S. C. S Lewis is the best out of them all except the Bible of course. What can you expect? He's from the Emerald Isle.

I can't agree with you more. Reading is essential for children if you want them to grow up to be competent adults who can think for themselves. Very nice post.

YES! What about the Irish? That's what I want to know. If I was a racist, I could so pull my race off as a minority. "We, the Irish, have been run down in slavery since our beginning, and we aren't gettin' nothin' for it!" Just thought I'd add that.

Stop the Presses, This Just in (Hate Speech 101)

Editor's Note: As Always, the views expressed are purely those of the author. For disscusion on this topic between blog authors and readers, check the comments section.

God bless America. I say it again, no sarcasm, purely sincere, God bless America. We will need it. But I have not come here today to talk about politics. I am so sick of politics that I probably won't mention the word again. I am here on the topic of news media, the fourth and fifth branch of the government. Don't you think they have entirely too much power? I sure do.

Thought provoker: California (I repeat, CALIFORNIA) has passed proposition 8. Praise God! This is a bright spot in a dark time, and I'll tell you why. Beer and drugs have no business being illegal, they need to be regulated. However, marriage being between one man and one woman is not optional, is it marriage, and anything else is not, by God's definition of marriage. Sodomy is for Sodom, and you know where Sodom went.

Now, why did I bring this up? Because the media has spun this so far that it is sickening, and no one can check it. Even after the majority of Californians turned gay marriage out the door, the liberal media, which, by the way, is all of the mainstream media, has called it a bitter blow to freedom. Even some "conservatives" treat these total-depraved, perverted sinners as a race of people instead of the abomination- seekers they are. The majority does not matter, the people does not matter, the truth does not matter, all that matters to them is to push their agenda and we eat it with fish and chips! If you have cable, you can not tell me you don't watch the news. These mainstreams are brainwashing those who are too old to get brainwashed in the public school system, and there is nothing to do about it. They are, quite literally, untouchable.

The funny thing is, they are terrible at finding the facts, the fundamental job of a journalist. Important facts, anyway. Like the issue of voter fraud not so long ago, when those two college students had to do the journalism for the journalists because the students actually were serious about finding truth. So, we need journalist trainees to give us real news? Why do we need these liberal whacks anyway?

C. S. Lewis had it down pat, I'll tell you. The people, as a whole, have a disease, the inability to disbelieve advertisement. If a commercial says a gun will kill, it must mean guns kill, despite the fact it also protects and sometimes only wounds. If a burger joint says it's food tastes good, it must mean the food tastes good despite the people leaving the joint seriously ill. If a president says he will bring utopia, it must mean he will despite the fact he's a socialist, America hating, Muslim. This is why we need to get rid of our cable and start just looking around, reading our past and present, and stop listening to the garbage being flung at our faces. God... help America, bless it greatly. Heal it, because we have a disease that needs to go.

I address some of what caleb is talking about in my election '08 broadcast. Basically, the sin could be punished by law, but the government shouldn't define marriage, either way. I make the case more thoroughly in the broadcast.

I am Wordy

Editor's Note: I don't know why we've allowed it, but yes, the following is a denigration into typical, cliche blogging that we try to avoid; people blabbing about themselves. But some people can't help it ;) We apoligize, sarcastically yours, the EID Blog Post Shuffle Board.

Why am I so "wordy" (whatever that means)? You see, there have been complaints to me that my posts are too "long" and I need to shorten them. So, I have come up with a plan, lets see if it works.

F I us les lters an o puntution dos i elp

Hmm, that's kind of hard to read... maybe I need to try something else. Maybe writing less, lets see if that works.

One day, I went to town.

Hmm, not much information. This is hard, but I'm working on it. I could skip ever other word.

I you, do like?

I don't even know what to say to that, except that it's messed up. How about no spaces.

IwenttothestoreandguesswhatIfoundabigbalooncanyoubeleiveit

Ouch! That won't do, although it's the best idea so far. Oh well, I guess I'm just going to have be the same, wordy self that I am, and my critics will just have to deal with it.

eace ou, an God ess.

- Yes, we editors have fun playing with post other people spent time on. The bliss of editor-hood. *Evil Laugh*

So who says that your posts are wordy? I've been reading for a while now and I can say I find them very interesting. Keep up the good work.

Have no fear, with the exception of maybe one, I will continue to make my posts as long, informing, and "whateversist" as ever, if not more so.
