Cell Phones and Water Do Not Mix!

Hosts: Stan Cox and Larry Fain

A brand new year, and a brand new episode of Watchman Digest!  In this episode Larry and Stan discuss the College Football BCS system; New Year’s resolutions for Barack Obama (hint: do NOTHING!); the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and how in the world Al Franken is being elected to the U.S. Senate!  Stan rants on Cell phone providers, and Larry preaches on Philippians 3.  All in all, a good way to start the year 2009!

“How ’bout them Boys!”

Host: Stan Cox

Larry Fain misses a second, (and hopefully) final week after having oral surgery.  Stan spends time this week exercising his filibuster privileges, and talking about Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, the Dallas Cowboys, two examples of Hollywood immorality (Madonna and Jennifer Aniston), and our smoking (literally) President-elect Barack Obama!  (Note:  There is an occasional “glitch” in the audio, I’m not sure where it came from.  It does not greatly impact the program, just an occasional “click”, but I am aware of it, and I will do some testing to make sure it doesn’t crop up again next week).

Where, O Where Has Larry Fain Gone?

Host: Stan Cox

Larry Fain was not available for this Digest, as he was recuperating from surgery.  Stan did the “soliloquy” thing, and talked about the Economy, Democrats grumbling (already) about Barack Obama, the “unity” problems of the Episcopal Church, and the poor Auto Companies, begging to congress.  He ranted about young ladies who smoke, and left us with the wonderful sentiments of Romans 8:31-ff.

Why So Impatient, Obama?

Hosts: Larry Fain & Stan Cox

Prayers are needed for the families of the dead, and the wounded in Mumbai, India. And, fortitude is needed as terrorist threats continue.  Obama seems a bit impatient (and presumptuous) and he and his chomp at the bit to enter the office of President.   Is Obama now advocating McCain economic principals?  Well, Yes and No.  And, what is this about a chocolate Jesus?  You have to be kidding!

I was thinking earlier this week, around Tuesday, about Charisma.  I have to say that Charisma has me a bit irritated.   You know, “a personal attractiveness or interestingness that enables you to influence others.”  (That’s the definition of the word).

Now, there is nothing wrong with Charisma per se.  It’s not a personality fault, or something that you want to try to hide, if you have it.

The problem is, too many people place too much emphasis upon it, or the lack thereof.  Charisma has absolutely no bearing upon a person’s rightness or wrongness, nor upon a person’s qualifications and experience.   Unless, of course, a primary qualification for a person to be successful in his or her pursuit is the attribute of charisma itself!

Brad Lidge! Brad Lidge! Brad Lidge!

Hosts: Larry Fain & Stan Cox

Larry and Stan discuss baseball, football, politics, and the Supreme Court.  Also, why does society inconsistently define who is and who is not human?  Sometimes in the eyes of the law a fetus is a human being, and sometimes it is not.  Of course, in the eyes of God, an unborn child is always a child.
