Ok, so if you are reading this blog post in your RSS feeder, shame on you (but without the shame) because that means you have not updated you RSS feed to: http://www.mendingshift.com/feed/

But because I am a follower of Jesus and I have to love you, and because he invited a bunch of ragamuffins to his parties, I am still going to invite you to the blog-warming party at my new blog’s home, www.mendingshift.com.

Come join the fun! But be sure to leave a note of pennance for your naughty RSS ignoring behavior. I promise I’ll be nice…after you earn it, of course.

I am currently in the process of giving A Mending Shift a much needed face- and function-lift and it’s own name (www.mendingshift.com). I will announce it’s official launch here so you can update your RSS feeds. I will also be redirecting this current link to the new site. My goal is to have it completed by the week’s end. Here is an early screenshot of what to expect:

I am amazed. Since California legalized same-sex marriages in May, 2008 and an estimated 22,000 people of the same sex have wed…our social world and order hasn’t collapsed or fallen apart, as some feared it would.

In fact, I have hardly noticed any difference in life at all, except the amount of money and rhetoric raised in fighting it rather than fighting against the things Jesus was clearly against, namely poverty, injustice and materialism (a homework assignment…look at the number of time Jesus taught on the sins of homosexuality vs. poverty, injustice and materialism…hint, the ratio will look like 0/100). If only we had the same passion to raise $25-27 million dollars in four months (the amount raised since May to support California’s Prop 8) and divide school campuses across the state to combat poverty, injustice and materialism. It really makes me sad and my heart heavy.

But when we profit everyday from poverty, injustice and materialism, why would we truly want it to end. But two men or two women having the word “married” applied to them rather than words “domestic partner” will send us into an uproar…as we are witnessing.

Anyway, for what’s its worth, these are simply my observations of the whole ordeal…

I really wonder how Jesus is feeling.

SNL is back! Finally. There is an Ad to push through, but lots of laughs following. Sarah Palin is a good sport…koodos and my hat’s off to her.

Here is another one that includes Palin participating in a rap video on Weekend Update…

So here is my first stab at the new WordPress poll feature. With the 2008 presidential election just weeks away (November 4 to be exact), I’m curious. Have you decided or are you undecided as to which candidate you are voting for? It is sad that the race is really between two people, Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama, especially when there are seven other “candidates” running for the presidency: Ralph Nader, Bob Barr, Charles “Chuck” O. Baldwin, Cynthia McKinney, Alan Keyes, Brian Moore, and Gloria La Riva. So here is the poll, (and please don’t feel the need to volunteer who you are voting for unless you’d like):

I am in agreement with Ryan. A root canal while watching Ann of Green Gables seems more pleasant than two more weeks of pre-election build up and coverage. Can we vote already and be done with it? Anyone else in ageement?

I wish California had early voting options like some other states. But nope…so we wait in agony for November 4th to come and go.
