The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

I just finished a rather annoyed post about pornography in my MySpace blog.  I’m really not happy that there are people who would love to have me be nothing more than to be a continual sex slave to them.   Sure, porn is in SPAM emails all the time in Yahoo, Gmail, etc.  At least they [...]

With credit to Fox News website and the Associated Press, I learned that 8th Graders in Wisconsin can actually be guaranteed a spot in the state’s college system if they sign a “covenant” that says to prep for college, the students will earn acceptable grades and be “good citizens”. Wow, this is cool.  How about [...]

I’d like to thank the family of Robert Rosenthal for Mr. Rosenthal’s service to the United States in World War II.  Mr. Rosenthal had many missions in WWII.  He was a bomber dude, and he was a lawyer as well.  He even got to help out at the Nurenburg War Crimes Tribunal and spoke to [...]

It’s the end of the week.  I heard Pastor Bob speak at EBC tonight.  He said that while God can do stuff, being a ChristFollower is not only following Christ, and letting God do work, you have to put in your portion of effort too.  God’s not going to read the Bible for you, not [...]

Well, they tied the knot today.  Major congratulations to Mark and Jody, and I hope that their union is full of God’s blessings.  I also wish Dylan joy as he grows up in a house where God rules.   May God bless this new family and may they grow in God richly.  Mazel Tov!

8 years ago today, Columbine High School in Colorado had the shooting incident happen.  Since then we’ve had the Red Lake shooting in Northern Minnesota, and now the Virginia Tech incident.  in relation to these events, a number of schools have had bomb threats and other scares requiring lockdowns for the safety of all persons.  [...]

I really feel for those at Virginia Tech who have been hurt by the shootings.  It’s kinda weird…how come the shooter went off like he did?  This was one big massacre.  I hope that a lot of the kids and profs who were shot were in a good spiritual position. That being said, a tragedy [...]

Finally, the Order Appointing a Conservator has arrived.  Since April 10, 2007, I have been officially a Protected Person. (Conservatee).  Now we can move forward to getting the judge to approve the sale of this townhouse.  It’s so relieving to know that a major step has happened.  The step after petitioning for the sale of [...]

Just talked to Steve.  He’s engaged to a wonderful lady named Kelly.  Very nice, smart, and pretty is Kelly.  And my assessment of the lady is only from knowing her personally a very short amount of time.  I wish Steve and Kelly loads and loads of happiness.
