Some of you probably noticed by now that I can’t seem to decide on what my blog should look like.
It’s not that I’m a fickle-minded whiney bloke, but it just seems that I am unable to find what I really like, design-wise, in any of the free WordPress themes available.

In today’s world where we read and hear of failed marriages leading to divorces, adultery and of couples that no longer communicate, it’s time to take a step back and see what God intended for men and women in the institution of marriage.

“Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”
Israel is the fig tree Jesus Christ speaks of, and she had “putteth forth leaves” on May 14, 1948. Summer — the return of our Lord — is therefore indeed near!

It’s been known for some time now that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has a bias towards the “Palestinian cause” when reporting on developments in the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A study by Honest Reporting — an independent, non-profit organization whose intention is to monitor and ensure fair reporting in the media — has now proven just that.
The research, conducted over 6 months, monitored 286 articles and pictures appearing on the BBC News web site between January and June 2007.
The conclusion?
