My Name Is Everybody

I am trying to be a nobody
Not wanting to be a somebody,
so I could be an anybody
And fool around with everybody.

My goal is to be a great-thing
It couldn't happen by being a something,
So I became a nothing
In hopes that I could get everything.

So in order to have a no-name
I couldn't have any-name,
So I took the guise of "inter-name"
and end up a big-name.

Shhhhhh! There's A Bear Coming

This would take some guts to sit there and let this bear get as close
as he did.

The joys of deer hunting from a tree stand.

If confronted by a bear, just be cool and ask the bear a question. *

When he asks the bear the question, he looks embarrassed, too cute!

Despite concerns, mosque will neighbor church

Becky Yeh - OneNewsNow California correspondent - 12/13/2010 3:40:00 AM

A California pastor is warning about a "frontal assault" against Christianity in the wake of a planning commission's overwhelming approval of a proposed mosque.

A 25,000-square-foot mosque to be built in Temecula Valley has gained unanimous support from the local planning commission, despite concerns from citizens and critics who say the facility may be a safe-haven for terrorists. William Rench, pastor of neighboring Calvary Baptist Church in Temecula Valley, feels his congregation's attempts to voice their opposition to the planning commission were futile.

"We learned during the course of the meeting that they already had made their decision to approve it, regardless of what the response was going to be from the community," Rench reports. "They had already printed in their record that they had approved it, even before the date of the hearing."

Although the mosque's imam has denied violence, the Baptist pastor explains that his public stance against the project has led some Muslims to label him as "hateful." The mosque, which will be built next door to Calvary Baptist Church, has created a stir among the church body.

"Our congregation remains concerned about the close proximity of a mosque to a facility like ours," Rench shares. "And now we've learned that they're going to not only have their Friday services, but they're going to have calls to prayer during the week...they're going to be there in the [early] mornings...and evenings [for] prayer times, [and] they're going to be having meetings all day Sunday. They're really planning on a frontal assault...with the use of their facility."

A local group has appealed to the city council. Meanwhile, Calvary Baptist Church members plan to continue voicing their concerns.
