Well, it’s official official, Romney is the Republican nominee:
Thanks to Texas, Mitt Romney can finally drop the word “presumptive” from his title.
More than five years after launching his first campaign for the presidency, the former Massachusetts governor on Tuesday night clinched the Republican nomination by winning the largely uncontested Texas primary, the Associated Press projected.
Last week I noted my huge disappointment in seeing Tony give an award a Pastor who has compared people with same-sex attractions to “maggots.”
Today, Exodus also released a statement today (linkage Exodus):
Orlando, FL — Exodus International, the world’s largest Christian ministry helping individuals and families struggling with same-sex attraction, denounced the Family Research Council’s choice of pastor Ron Baity to receive its highest pro-family honor, the 2012 Watchman Award.
Baity is on record saying, “gays act worse than maggots,” will make society “more filthy,” and God had an “urban renewal plan for Sodom and Gomorrah.” Baity also compares gay and lesbian people to murderers and says gay marriage is America’s “death warrant.” Baity is founding pastor of Winston-Salem’s Berean Baptist Church and head of the pro-marriage organization, Return America.
Romans 5:1-5 - New American Standard Bible (NASB)Results of Justification
5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4 andperseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

SOUTHLAKE, Texas (BP) — The Southern Baptist Convention‘s national strategist for gender issues has released a statement condemning the harsh language of two independent Baptist pastors from North Carolina whose remarks on homosexuals and gender identity have gone viral on the Internet.
The controversial statements came from pastors of churches not affiliated with the 16-million-member Southern Baptist Convention but “they still stand as reminders to us — not only pastors, but all believers — that above all else we must represent the heart of Christ,” wrote Bob Stith, a retired pastor in Southlake, Texas, who has served the SBC in the gender issues role since 2007.
Today is Memorial Day for those of us in the United States. We honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Today is also a day to say thank you to the living/surviving military. Thank you very much. Also, a special shout out to my family who has served in the military.
Have a blessed Memorial day as you stop for a moment, honor, and consider those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to assure our freedom. God bless our military and the United States!
Much love and respect to you all.

Found the video via Michelle Malkin. Here is a very sobering post that gives the breakdown of number of souls who sacrificed their lives during each war.
Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones may be the hottest athlete on Twitter right now. Her witty, self-effacing humor has charmed media and fans alike.
Oh, and the attractive, single 29-year-old is also a virgin.
She discussed why she doesn’t want to have sex until marriage with HBO’s Real Sports earlier this week. The interview — in which she called her extended abstinence “harder than training for the Olympics” — has further fueled Jones’ social media superstardom. Since May 20, her number of Twitter followers has jumped by about 20,000 — a nearly 40% increase.
But the @lolojones profile has long been a source of humor and unusually blithe insight into a world class athlete’s personal life. …

How great is it that yet another very talented Christian athlete not only stands up for their beliefs but are actually really good at what they do (including Tim Tebow, Jeremy Lin). AND not only that, they come across as honest and winsome. That’s very encouraging.
And on a related sidenote: I cannot wait to watch the Olympics. On a normal day I am not that big of a sports fan but when it comes to the Olympics LOVE them. Watch them the whole time they are on. Especially the summer Olympics … very exciting.
I am getting ready to go to church but thought I would post this. The circle is too big for my little scanner so this is a semi-decent photograph. Hope you like it!
My friend Ryan, yes, (Thor looks like him) and I went to the Bonsai convention today. I have always been intrigued by Bonsai and … well … why not. “Thorsai” is Thor + Bonsai … in case you didn’t catch that. Of course this is the video post from today.
This guy was not impressed with Bonsai
So, I made a new friend at the Bonsai convention. He wasn’t very talkative and has a thing against … everything. I am rendering the video right now but thought I would post this picture in the meantime. Oh and ::: laugh ::: there was a horror convention next door to the bonsai convention.
