Eschatology is very pointless and can sometimes border on dangerous. I don't think it's anything to give mind to. As Christians, we're not called to sit and wait for Christ to return. We know He's returning and are to let God worry about that one. But, that said, the Bible is there so we can recogni...

So, here's the free agents who I'd have the Giants keep

1. Schmitty-not even close. This guy's a hammer and with Morris's issues, highly important to anchor the rotation. Yes, Cain's nice, but no way ready to be the ace yet. I'd re-sign JS to two years if possible. He's worth 11 per. 2. Feliz-Two years and he better have learned to hit a little better by...

Good points, guys. Thank you much. Mikey, we didn't want to get all in at once. A mere $400 investment to begin. Probably another 100 soon and 500 in the new year. Again, we're taking our time on this one. Long term and all, ya' know?

We've been wanting to do so for a bit so, Saturday, we bought 6 shares of Nvidia and 8 shares of Cabella's. Have been thinking of buying some HearUsa, too. Cheap stock in comparison to the other two. We'll see how it goes. Day one, btw, Nvidia was down .14 and Cabellas down .25. Eh. We're looking lo...

You forget, Mike, that there are 'Christians' who will gladly cede that Christ probably didn't rise from the dead, wasn't born of virgin mother, and is most likely not the only way to heaven. They will also claim that this does nothing to degrade their faith.
