Tax-free Internet shopping going away?

Americans gather at the base of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., to protest the income tax and federal government overreaching. Rep. Ron Paul spoke at the rally earlier in the day.

Always good to see the Tyranny Response Team on hand.

I am all for paying my taxes, don't get me wrong. I think our tax dollars do some great things, and some not so great things, and God has called us to follow the rules. So pay'em. :-) I found this news interesting from the Taxing the Internet standpoint.

But..."Read my lips...," you know the rest.

That's what I'm talking about.

Peace.

God must want us to have PEACE.

Comforting Words.

28 If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest.

29 Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest.

30 This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30

I am not sure if this is true, because I don't trust anything I read on the Internet on April 1, but if it is...cool.

Sin? It's covered.

A couple questions came to mind this weekend while I was sitting in church listening to the sermon. These are questions most of us who are Christians may know, but if you don't know "church speak" you may not know the answers.

What's the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian? One thing. The Christian believes that Christ is God(Savior) and that without Christ he/she is destined for eternity apart from God. The non-Christian does not believe Christ is the Savior and God.

Christians believe they are "saved" by Christ. Does this mean we, I say we because I am a Christian by definition above, have somehow lost our humanity and are now perfect? Yes...OK...No and No :-), and far from it. My heart is inherently sinful by nature of being human. Sin is something I was born into because of the first sin by Adam (Eve's fault). I am born under that same curse from long ago. Because of that I also do certain things that are sinful, or sin. So, there is sin the noun (a curse), and sin the verb (a real time action like I punched that guy in the face because he looked at me funny). Both are real sin, and I have never punched a guy in the face because he looked at me funny.

So, God (Jesus) came to Earth, lived a sinless life, and was killed on the cross as a perfect and blameless sacrifice for the sins of ALL mankind. I now have been covered and my sins are forgiven. I now have Heaven to look forward to.

I believe Heaven will look like this, but way better. My job in Heaven will be to play Golf.
