The Garden of Your Soul

This weeks Tailfeather is a reminder that we are more than just flesh and bone but we are also living souls. Take time each day to nourish your soul. We eat several times a day to nourish our bodies shouldn’t we at least spend the same amount of time at the Lord’s table? Why not everytime you sit at the dinner table you also take time to partake of the Lord’s table? Be sure to read His word and meditate upon it, allowing it to water the soil of your soul.

There is a Garden of the Soul,
Where God plants loving seeds
That faith and grace will nourish
Into blooms of loving deeds.

Within this Garden of the Soul
Fruits of the Spirit grow;
And they produce new seeds of love
Which you and I can sow.

“Listen! A farmer went to plant seed. Some seeds were planted along the road, and birds came and devoured them. Other seeds were planted on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil. The plants sprouted quickly because the soil wasn’t deep. When the sun came up, they were scorched. They didn’t have any roots, so they withered. Other seeds were planted among thornbushes. The thornbushes grew up and choked them, and they didn’t produce anything. But other seeds were planted on good ground, sprouted, and produced thirty, sixty, or one hundred times as much as was planted.” He added, “Let the person who has ears listen!” Mark 4:3-9 (GW)

I bet you thought I was going to say Obama right? Well actually in a way I am going to say Obama. But I am referring to his energy policy which this highly educated presidential hopeful feels is our best hope for our domestic oil production problem.

Thursday, July 30th presidential candidate Barak Obama said at a campaign rally in Springfield, MO:

“We could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much,”

Yep you guessed it. The next time you pull into your gas station and ask for a fill-up make sure you are talking about your tires and not your gas tank.

Mr Obama seems to feel that if we all inflate our tires and give our cars tune ups we can save as much gas as is in our own natural oil resources.

And to think he had to go to Harvard to come up with that one!

For this and other ridiculous comments we have officially declared Obama as one who flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

For the past six years, pastor-turned-evangelist Rev. Michael Dowd has been going from pulpit to pulpit preaching the gospel—no, not the good news of our salvation through Jesus Christ, but of our liberation and empowerment through Charles Darwin.

“[Darwin gives us] a far more empirical way of talking about human nature than through stories like the original sin.”

There you have it–the science is in! It is not from the heart that evil thoughts, murder, adultery, and sexual immorality come; it’s from a physical law working on our chemistry. Feeling better now?

Dowd calls his theological perspective “creatheistic.”

Dowd represents this, pictorially, with a logo on the van he and his wife use in their “outreach.” It shows two fish kissing: one labeled “Jesus” and the other, “Darwin.”

I think I prefer the way the Apostle Paul states it better. In a way Paul lends a helping hand to all the Dowdists out there who are overcome by their inherited sinful nature but then Paul goes on to give the remedy which is through Jesus Christ.

1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sin2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.Eph 2:1-10 (ESV)

Obama’s “Lazy Boy” Cabin of his 757

clipped from www.cbsnews.com
Barack Obama’s new campaign plane is nothing short of grand. Well, for the candidate that is.
Obama’s section of the plane rivals that of any first class. Recently the front cabin of the Boeing 757 was retrofitted to install four individual chairs that resemble La-Z-Boys. They are free-standing and made of plush leather with pockets on the sides. There is also a booth which seats four for a meeting or a meal.
His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top — “Obama ‘08” on one line and “President” underneath. To one side is a small table stacked with newspapers ready for the candidate’s arrival. The table of the booth is always covered in snacks and cheese and is where Obama spends most of his time during flights meeting with staff and sitting for the occasional interview.
After looking at a few photos of Obama’s cabin, Allen quipped, “Air Force One may seem a tad claustrophobic.” Check it out for yourself:
For someone who couldn’t actually ‘win’ his primary election, this guy surely does not have a problem being called ‘President”.

Check out the third picture of ‘President’ Obama’s throne. I for one am growing way tired of all the money being spent to buy this Presidency. I think it is time that ‘We the people’ actually think about taking back this country from all the millionaire special interest groups.
