I saw one of those church signs tonight. You know, the kind with one of those little soundbites of witticism. This one said something close to "Wisdom has two parts: (1) Having lots to say and (2) Not saying it." I wish I could say my lack of posting on here were a glorious display of wisdom. Because I have had lots to say. I could start at Barack H. Obama's pastor (or former pastor?) and stay busy right on up to the Pope's visit. But the real truth is, it is just hard to keep up with the blogging. But I'm going to keep trying, because I really do enjoy it.
On a sad note related to one of my previous postings, screen legend Charlton Heston (Moses in "The Ten Commandments," among other roles) passed away on April 5. The liberal media's attempt at an obituary was apparently as hard for them as keeping up with blogging is for me. In case you didn't catch all the negative slams, this might help out.

Not So High on the Mountain
I enjoy my traditions. I can't imagine not eating turkey on Thanksgiving; I'm so glad we can still go to Grandpa and Grandma's for Christmas; even if it's just me, I still stay up to watch the new year come in. I don't quite feel like I've "done" Christmas until I've watched "It's a Wonderful Life." And remember the "good ole days" when ABC used to show "The Ten Commandments" on Easter Sunday night?
ABC seems to really have a problem with Christianity. How many specials have they aired to take a closer look at some aspect of Christianity where they have focused on not those who hold to an orthodox view but those from the liberal fringe (i.e. the Jesus Seminar folks) who look to tear down if they could the fundamentals of the Christian faith. In fact, just in time for this Easter season, ABC "News" brings us this report of a professor who thinks Moses may have actually been doing drugs. Of course, that doesn't really account for the chariots and bones at the bottom of the Red Sea.
Within the past ten years ABC has been trying to do all they can to mess up the Easter tradition of the showing of "The Ten Commandments." First, they dropped it from the Easter season completely over supposed concerns that it might be growing a little old. That resulted in quite a few phone calls to the network. Then they tried creating their own version of "The Ten Commandments," a mini-series that is perhaps a little less caricature but a little more improperly politically correct. Then they practically hid it on Saturday night to avoid having to miss an episode of "Desperate Housewives." And that is where I discovered it sits on this year's line-up. So tomorrow night, I'll be trying to watch that classic movie, but it won't be the same as on Easter night. But at least my mom won't be sending me to bed right after the parting of the Red Sea. But I may have to get my children to bed by then....
May God bless you and your family this Easter as you consider Jesus' death on the cross on this Good Friday and His victory over sin and death on Resurrection Sunday!
