St Kilda no saints

Two thugs won the game for St Kilda on Saturday.
Third quarter we kicked the first goal…and looked like making a comeback…until the perenial gutless wonder Baker decided to ‘king hit’ Farmer FROM BEHIND.

Gutless cheat Baker…..deserves 6 weeks for that. Probably will get off because Farmer does not get frees.
Interesting that Voss saw it…Now I find out Voss is still on Brisbanes list, and has to front up as a witness if called.

Gherig played his best game for the year and was unstoppable, well done for a no-kneck thug. Interesting though that he did not kick a goal in the 4th quarter when Mc Pharlin went on him. Harvey should have made that move sooner.
As much as it hurts me to say it, I hope West Coast thrash St Kilda next week…and Richmond thrash them the week after.

Smite them…O mighty Smighter…..

From the “Pastors behaving badly” series……

LA Times
“Wiley S. Drake, a Buena Park pastor and a former national leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, called on his followers to pray for the deaths of two leaders of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

and his biblical and theological justification……

“Drake said Wednesday he was “simply doing what God told me to do” by targeting Americans United officials Joe Conn and Jeremy Leaming, whom he calls the “enemies of God.””God says to pray imprecatory prayer against people who attack God’s church,” he said. “The Bible says that if anybody attacks God’s people, David said this is what will happen to them. . . . Children will become orphans and wives will become widows.”Imprecatory prayers are alternately defined as praying for someone’s misfortune, or an appeal to God for justice.”Let his days be few; and let another take his office,” the prayer reads. “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.””

Missional

You may have seen the ’emerging’ posters getting around the net….Quite funny and poking fun at emerging churches….

here is a response to them, which I like, and might use sometime…nice….but not in an emerging context…why should the EC have all the good words?
