I just officially got approval from NASB for a project I have been working on… the Bible scriptures podcast… These are basically most of the verses that are in the Bible verses about money page in audio form. To be honest, I just wanted to be able to listen to specific scriptures sorted by topics myself, so that is why I (and my lovely wife) created these. After we created a few I figured that if it was helping me, maybe others would want them as well. So, they are not professionally done at all, but if you want to check them out – you can here.

“In God we trust” on our bills?

08.20.2008 by Bob 22 comments

MSNBC is doing a survey to see if people want “In God we trust” on our bills. As of Monday night there were over 2.5 million responses showing that 60% were still voting to keep it on the bills. The thought of removing it is so laughably foolish to me. I mean is it not evident to everyone in the world that the U.S. has been extremely blessed since it started a few centuries ago?
