300 Blogs - 14K Visitors - Many Thanks

I have passed the 300 blog mark, and I wanted to take a few minutes to express my thanks for reading along - some since 2006! And no hateful comments; amazing! I have written about a lot of things over the years, but mostly Jesus, Holy Spirit, Stupidity, Politics (some think that that's the same as stupidity) and Relationship.

I have been most passionate about the the 5-Fold Ministry.

My top 2 most read blogs are The Role of the Holy Spirit and The Cost of Following Jesus. That sort of makes me happy - because they are important topics. I am also a little impressed that my blogs on the Demonic are also well read. The most commented blog on Fire and Grace is yesterday's on No More Church a Usual!

I was a little disappointed that my series on The Top 10 Stupidest Things Christians Do, did not become a best seller.

I have written some other blogs that don't appear here, but you can search me out at Tony C Today, and Kingdom Bloggers if you just can't get enough sarcasm. :o)

While I've been blogging Obama was elected president, the shooting at VT Blacksburg took place, the Underwear Bomber (sometimes known as the Crotch Bomber) was caught in Detroit, I reconnected with old High School friends on Facebook, lost a job, got a job, went on a car safari, 3 friends got cancer; one died, one was healed and one hangs in the balance, the melee at Ft. Hood happened, we bid farewell to Falwell, Senator Kennedy died - oh, and Scott Brown was elected.

For my 99th blog in '09 I decided to make a list of issues that are important to me. Check them out HERE - not a lot has changed.

And thanks again for reading along. If you would, I'd love it if you would post a comment - even a hateful one, that's what bloggers live for.

300 post...wow!

I'm glad God directed me to Fire & Grace a little over a year ago. It has been a true blessing.

Looking forward to the next 300...

Congratulations Dave:

It has been good reading and passionate words from a follower of the Lord ( notice I didn't say Christian ).

You keep writing and I will keep reading and posting my off the wall comments.

Touchdown Jesus! - Vessels of Grace and Channels of Power

My blog title is grammatically correct. Jesus did not get a touchdown, that was the nickname a 62 foot tall, upper torso sculpture, of Jesus was given. The sculpture, off I-75 in southern Ohio, was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. HERE is the Yahoo News story. I an not going to segue into some prophetic sign of how the End Times are upon is. Much more interesting, and relevant, are the comments on the article by some 3,500+ readers. Here is one by Joshua - "God and Jesus was just made up in a book too. Same with Lucifer and every other angel. Anyone who says Zues is just made up cant prove it. Nor can anyone prove Jesus or God is too. Anyone can write a book and make up some higher being and some poor fools will buy into it." This is one of my favorites from What122: "I wonder if their insurance will cover it, or will the insurance company say it was an act of God?" One commenter characterizes Christianity by using the Bible against itself. Be...

Political Tuesdays - The Taxation Question

I have written on political topics in the past. And with the upcoming electons, I thought I would dedicate Tuesdays to some political ranting and Johndrow-esque, "think for myself" politics. Most will not be based on any specific Christian belief or doctrine unless it applies. As an American I find myself stunned, over and over; like fish in the reach of the tenticles of a man-o-war, at political solutions to human and spiritual problems. I live in Masschusetts, and we are the most liberal state in the US. We were first in gay marriage, we were first in mandatory healthcare, we have rejected mandatory sentencing for repeat and sex offenders, we are ahead of the Global Warming curve, we have high taxes ( on average 10% ), we are split on casino gambleing only because we've missed the boat (if doesn't create jobs, it's a political flop), and well John Kerry and Ted Kennedy were our sentaors for many years (Kerry still is). The last time we went red for president...
