I got this in an mail and thought it was worth sharing:
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do.. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 in The Bible states, "The fool says in his heart, there is no God." Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, he already has a day. April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."

One Month - WHAT?!?!?
Yeah, I guess there goes that resolution. I had originally resolved to update this blog profile way more than once a month. I was also doing real well in keeping on my personal, private journal updated with basics of each day, until Google changed their code and broke the Integrated Gmail extension for Firefox. It probably looks like there's no connection b/t a journal and Gmail, but I promise you, there is. The code is fixed now, but I haven't thought to enable the extension again.
Anyway, we've done a lot of things over the passed month, and for those who care, I'll let you know some of the things. I say some of the things, b/c I don't exactly have the best of memories to remember everything.
Movies/TV shows I/we have watched (in no particular order):
- Avatar 3D
- Year One
- Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
- The Net
- The IT Crowd (Series 1 - 3)
- Loverboy
- Serendipity
I also finished "reading" the complete Twilight saga. ("Reading" as in listening to audio book on my 30-minute drive each way each day to and from work.) I've now started on The Sword of Truth series.
Other events/accomplishments in our lives are:
- Elizabeth preached at my hometown church.
- I'm about halfway done with cleaning out a closet with the last of my stuff at my parent's house (I tackle that a little bit at a time when we're down there).
- We had an enjoyable supper time with a church friend one evening.
- My memory allowed me to remember I have this blog that I needed to update it.
We also obtained the fun, short version of Monopoly - The Card Game and a difficult (for me), fast paced version of Scrabble - The Card Game.
Well, that's all I'm going to update with for now. I don't think I'll be doing those reviews I was talking about in a previous post, I mean, you see already how I neglect updating on standard events in life, how could I possibly have time to do any reviews? Okay, I'm signing off now, methinks, since I can't think of anything else worth mentioning right now.
Later!
