Vanity Translated

Prince-Vanity

From Vixen to Christian…

Prince’s impossibly pretty protege and former flame passed away Monday in a California hospital to the dismay of fans who loved her as Vanity, the lead singer of Vanity 6, or as Denise Katrina Matthews, the soul, few if any of us really knew.

Hear No Evil

Russ-Parrs-spiritual-thriller-hear-no-evilIf you’re a Christian, you’re pretty much happy when any one is courageous enough to mention Jesus’s name anywhere these days, but especially in a movie.  Radio Personality Russ Parr is more than just a voice on the radio.  As screenwriter and director of “Hear No Evil,” he’s proven he’s more than able to talk about hot and controversial topics, he’s willing to create some, too.

Allah Who?

Radical Islam comes with a cloud of black smoke.

Followers of Allah, coming in a cloud of black smoke, bringing misery and death.

As a born-again Christian who serves the one true God, who is Almighty, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, for the life of me, I cannot understand why Muslims go buck-wild whenever miscellaneous individuals insult their god.  Wif crazed protesters foamin’ at the mouf.  With fire.  Violence.  Murder.

In Defense of Prosperity and The Dollar

Dr. Creflo Dollar often earns negative attention for preaching prosperity.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2).

Bill Maher is Dead

I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative.
I think religion is a neurological disorder.
–Bill Maher

January 20, 1956 – ?

I was half-watching television one late night, mostly flicking through channels to give my restless brain something to light on. On Piers Morgan, I heard Bill’s flesh say OUT LOUD for the Good Lord to hear that he is an actual atheist! Blackbiting aside, this was disturbing, for I genuinely like Bill Maher. I think he’s both witty and wise with a cute, but sneaky boyish look. And it was unbearable thinking that when I arrive in heaven with my entourage, when he puts off his tabernacle, he won’t be present to entertain me into the really beyond.
