Kingdom Politics - Week 04 - Church/State Relations in America http://player.vimeo.com/video/50548069 Is it rude to send someone a link to a video from church when they send you one of those obnoxious emails about how our devout, Protestant forefathers are disappointed in us? I'll let you know - because it seems like I get about 10 a week right now.

I can't visit that site without spending $50.

That's great.

That whole post makes me smile! Sounds fun.

I'm really intrigued of late by the tiny 3 weight rods. They look like a ton of fun for finessing some little fish out of little streams.

NonexistentThey've got plenty of parking, too.

If you hit the Varsity make sure you get an order of rings and a fried peach pie, too. I have friends who have moved all over the nation, but when they come home for Thanksgiving, they go eat at the Varsity. It's one of the only places I've ever been where you can see a guy in a $2000 suit and a guy who doesn't have $2 to his name standing next to one another eating the same chili dog and drinking a Coke. My three year old thinks it's the funniest thing in the world to order a yankee dog walkin' (a hot dog with a yellow stripe down it's back to go).

That's really nice. Be sure to let us know how it runs!

Atlanta is a good town. Stay in good areas, like any city and you'll be fine. Get some Varsity chili dogs while you're there. Get your kid a frosted orange. Have fun.

Those look great! What's the underlying material, micarta?

First step is mindset. Know you're going to get out alive.

You must've told him something he didn't want to hear.

Oh...believe it http://www.thefirear...-55-suppressor/ There's some fool out there that will buy anything.

That's my general thought, too. That said, I hope I've got at least a couple of weapons that become treasured pieces of well shot family history.

This should serve as a reminder to us all that when you die, your family may well just divide up the stuff you cared about and sell it for whatever they can get for it. Reminds me of the old saying that, "my worst fear is that when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them."

Solve this problem in a direct impingement rifle and I'm sure you could retire rich after all the arfcom guys empty their wallets in your direction. BTW...even us engineers have the occasional day like this. Nothing humbles you quite as much as drawing something up only to have a machinist ask "how exactly do you expect this to work?"

Bolt carrier group still has to have room to cycle.

It's not a bad looking pistol if that's your thing. I'd forgo the diamond, but could see a reasonable premium if this is in fact legit. That said. $17K is ridiculous. Maybe we should weigh in on how low the price drops before it sells (assuming it's not taken down for fraud). I say it sells for $3000.

I enjoy a good discussion on religon or politics. Sometimes both at the same time... I've found that we generally run into problems when we encounter one of two types of people: 1. People who aren't interested in facts, opinions or anything other than their own position. They can't offer anything other than a party line, whatever thatline may be. I generally don't engage these type people as I really don't find that they have anything to add to the discussion. It's unfortunate, because they've clearly got a passion for the subject. 2. People who get so wrapped around the axle when confronted with something that they don't agree with that they instantly resort to name calling and personal attacks. We've had a lot of this around here lately, and it's frustrating. My admonition to both of these types of people in PMs before taking an administrative action is usually to either get a better position or better rhetoric. We welcome healthy debate. I just want to see people add to the overall conversation.

Here's week 03 - Dual Citizenship - Early Christians in Rome http://player.vimeo.com/video/49929135 Enjoy!

There's got to be something missing from this fine piece of reporting. This cannot be the whole story. Interestingly enough, violent crimes against persons are statistically about half of what they were when I was growing up in the '70s. Yet, we all scare so easily these days that you'd think a child molester is lurking around every corner.

Sorry for the delay in posting the second week. Here's part two for anyone who's interested Week 02 - The Political Implications of the Gospel http://player.vimeo.com/video/49414576 Should get part three up tomorrow sometime.

I was down there running the Sipsey. Only heard one shot all weekend. They're definitely overrun with hogs, though.

Two chances between now and election day. New moon this Saturday and again on October 15th. The Saudis have already granted them safe passage over their airspace. Man, what a proverbial way for them to flip Obama the finger. A lot of parallels between current times and the last days of the Carter administration.

147gr Federal HSTs here.
