The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

I had an OK weekend. I did make it to Eaglebrook to services. Pastor Bob did a great job explaining that Jesus is and was God. It pretty much blows the Da Vinci Code into the realms of heresy. (IMO, anyhow.) I had dinner with my Mom today. It went well. It was good to [...]

I’ve been royally zoinked for the past couple of days. I’m not sure how to describe it. The feeling is strong enough that I didn’t feel safe driving to church to do Pure Desire tonight, so I called in and told a group member and also Josh at church and told them what was up. [...]

Yesterday I worked at VAMC, and then got to hang out with Alan, Kristin, Alaina, and Ian for a while. There was also a strawberry shortcake name of Katie at the Sandaus too. The kids had themselves a blast. It was good for me to catch up with Alan and Kristin. It is great to [...]

It looks like Minnesota and Canada borders are going to have to wait for funding to prevent the enemies of the United States from coming over the border from Canada. On the US point of view, this border is not as secure as it should be, since there’s not a whole lot of fencing on [...]

My buddy Brian’s sister Crystal is getting married tomorrow. I just wanted to say to Crystal I hope your wedding day goes well. And that you and Jeromi have a long and happy life together. I will be at the wedding tomorrow, but this is another way to give the wishes.

Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi has been disposed of in an air raid. HOO-AH! Now hopefully the war in Iraq will be shorter, and all the troops can come home and rest. It will be easier to deal with the insurgents now that the chutzpah is no longer with us. Whomever wiped his body off our world [...]

The VA is admitting that more data then previously disclosed was stolen in that early May theft of a laptop computer. Hey, MY records were probably part of the theft. At least the stupid (expletive) was fired, and others responsible are resigning under pressure for this messup. Why did that idiot violate policy and take [...]

OK, according to Pastor Jason and not the Da Vinci Code, Jesus was never married to anyone, not Mary Magdalene, nor anyone! The Da Vinci Code is nothing more than a historical fictional mystery novel. The author believes that certain facts were accurate in the development of this book. (expletive)! This novel was based on [...]

The pastor of a church in Kansas is spreading a message that America is doomed, and that God hates soldiers, sinners, homosexuals, and that all of us are going into hell. Except for him and his followers. I’d love to give further identity details, but I don’t want to cause any trouble to the provider [...]

I just found out that a friend, who also happens to be the Tech Director of EBC has been sick. I’d like to pray for Bill, that he would be healed of this mess he’s going through. God keep him strong and get him healthy, so he can serve You, and for his family. Thanks [...]
