Shhe is way more beautiful than Jennifer Love Hewitt, which is why she is on the cover of People in Texas, and way more beautiful than me, which is why she could become a pastor by putting the word after her name instead of learning Greek.<BR/><BR/>The really bizarre thing is that I would choose the suffering-through-Greek alternative any day. <BR/><BR/>I have finally come to an understanding of my true counter-culturalness.Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-29760261932533258302007-12-08T09:37:00.000-05:002007-12-08T09:37:00.000-05:00And don't forget that Joel's wife also gets to be ...And don't forget that Joel's wife also gets to be a pastor because she married him! (The sign outside Lakewood says "Joel and Victoria Osteen, Co-Pastors").<BR/><BR/>By the way, the cover of the People magazines sold in Texas this week have Joel and Victoria on the cover, and something else sold elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>What is up with that????Jody Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031378214797420014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-40082534491553118022007-12-08T07:13:00.000-05:002007-12-08T07:13:00.000-05:00Sigh...

The sad thing is that there is this thirst and hunger for spiritual sustenance that is getting fed with this fast food fluff that runs the gamut from innocuous pablum to really damaging. sigh indeedRevDrKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043193615563649333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-56243180448994969282007-12-08T00:36:00.000-05:002007-12-08T00:36:00.000-05:00Amen Sistah!

There is pleasure in Joel Osteen's world. Though it is very shallow, completely temporal and like eating a Chinese dinner. I do believe these people will make it to the other side. However I suspect they will end up working eternity scrubbing Mother Teresa's golden toilets.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.com
