			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ginormous federal bailouts, Nancy Reagan&#8217;s broken pelvis, Somali pirates, Guy and Madonna divorcing, David and Tea separating, AIG spending close to $550,000 for a resort retreat and a hunting trip after they&#8217;d received BILLIONS in taxpayer-funded loans, and now this?</p>
<p><em>According to MSNBC:</em></p>
<p>Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk has thrown out a Nebraska legislator&#8217;s lawsuit against God. Yep, that&#8217;s right. God.</p>
<p>Well, of course, you say. How d-u-m-b to file a lawsuit against the Almighty Arbiter of Justice. But so not the reason.</p>
<p>Polk said that God has an unlisted home address, so the Almighty wasn&#8217;t &#8220;properly served.&#8221;</p>
<p>And what brilliant individual filed this lawsuit?</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">State Sen. <a class="zem_slink" title="Ernie Chambers" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Chambers">Ernie Chambers</a>, who has served THIRTY-EIGHT years in the Nebraska legislature, filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God. He said God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused &#8220;widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth&#8217;s inhabitants.&#8221;</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Chambers has said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Okey-dokey, Mr. Chambers. So, because you&#8217;re rich and have access to the legal hoopla, you&#8217;re filing a lawsuit to prove that you can file a lawsuit. And you&#8217;re assuming poor people are borrowing pom-poms from their local high school cheerleaders to rally you on?</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Polk ruled on Tuesday that, under state law, a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">&#8220;Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,&#8221; Polk wrote.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack"><strong></strong><strong></strong>&#8220;Chambers, who graduated from law school but never took the bar exam, thinks he&#8217;s found a hole in the judge&#8217;s ruling.&#8221;</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">&#8220;The court itself acknowledges the existence of God,&#8221; Chambers said Wednesday. &#8220;A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God&#8217;s omniscience.&#8221;</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Therefore, Chambers said, &#8220;Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.&#8221;</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">There&#8217;s a hole all right. It&#8217;s somewhere between Chambers&#8217; ears. And, since God knows everything, He has notice of that hole. And I&#8217;m sure He has just enough access to the plaintiff to fill it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hgy3-uzXL._AA240_.jpg" alt="This Can Be the Greatest Moment of Your Life Because This Moment Is the Place Where You Can Meet God" border="0" height="240" width="240" /> I&#8217;m rereading John Ortberg&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/God-Closer-Than-You-Think/dp/0310253497">God Is Closer Than You Think:This Can Be the Greatest Moment of Your Life Because This Moment Is The Place Where You Can Meet God</a>And here are some passages from the book I&#8217;d like to share under the subtitle (my own): &#8216;Nuff Said:<br />
1. God can directly guide our thoughts. He can speak to us through Scripture, another person, or plant thoughts directly in our minds. It&#8217;s possible that any given thought may have been guided there by God and we may not even know it.<br />
2. The single most dangerous word in the English language? Tomorrow.<br />
3. What I see as an inconvenient interruption may be a divine appointment.<br />
4. Paralyzed anxiety is NOT from God.<br />
5. The biggest difference between me and God is that God doesn&#8217;t think He&#8217;s me.<br />
6. Nowhere in the Bible does it say, &#8220;And then God worried.&#8221;</p>
