In 2009, the President of Honduras, Jose Zelaya, ordered the creation of a working group to come up with a new constitution. Presumably the new constitution would do away with certain rules the old one contained that were permanently un-amendable. Among these were several limitations set on the president including the "Prohibition on Presidential reelection" and the president's mandatory four-year term.
When his attempt to establish this working group was ruled unconstitutional, President Zelaya changed his tactics and appealed directly to the people, ordering a referendum on whether the people were willing to have another referendum to determine whether to establish his constitutional working group. Eventually Zelaya was impeached and arrested for undermining the constitution he had vowed to uphold.
Here in the United States we still give lip-service to our Constitution. Yet a growing number of us think it ludicrous we should be limited by the rules of such an "ancient" document. "What we really need," we say, "is to be practical and get things done in today's environment." And if that requires breaking some old rules, so be it.
This view is shared by both Democrats and Republicans...

He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. (Matthew 10:41)
Until recently, fathers and mothers learned their child's sex at birth when the doctor or midwife announced "it's a boy" or "it's a girl!" Some still choose to protect this romance by telling their ultrasound technician and doctor they don't want to find out beforehand. I like that.
At first, just the weight of responsibility of marriage is overwhelming. I remember waking up the second night of our honeymoon, looking at my dear Mary Lee sleeping next to me, and thinking "the rest of my life!"
While we're on the subject of our Psalms project, My Soul Among Lions is pleased and excited to announce we'll be on tour this week. The venues are in South Carolina and Tennessee:
There are few places our rebellion against our Heavenly Father is more clear than our repudiation of the shame He has placed on gross wickedness.
I've recommended a lot of things on this blog, from books to cars. It's been quite a while since I posted on a product I wasn't happy with, but now's the time. I've always bought Delta faucets because of their lifetime warranty. If your faucet breaks, it used to be you could call them and they would send the part you needed with instructions on how to install it. Bingo!
A couple days ago, an article ran in our local paper announcing Cook Medical's expansion and 
Here's a pic of the last precast panel being placed on the south side of the building, today. There's still a gap in the wall, though. That gap is for a smaller crane and semis carrying the steel girders to enter the building. When they're done there won't have to be another two panels delivered and tilted up. They'll be delivered and tilted up today, then tied to two other panels where they'll wait for the steelworkers' crane to slide them into position when they're done their work.
