Pumpkin symbol marks sex offenders’ homes

ANNAPOLIS | The Scarlet Letter for Maryland sex offenders this Halloween will be a bright orange pumpkin.

That is the symbol on a sign they are required to post on their doors with a warning, in capital letters, to trick-or-treaters: “No candy at this residence.”

The paper signs began arriving last week in the mailboxes of the roughly 1,200 violent and child-sex offenders across the state with a letter explaining how they are to comport themselves on Oct. 31.

North Texas Church Apoligizes to Community

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 16, 2008 — Springcreek Church, a non-denominational congregation in Garland, TX, publicly apologizes to its North Texas community in highly visible, full page ads in The Dallas Morning News and Dallas Observer on October 16, 2008. In a large font, the words: “We were wrong” dominate the page.

A short paragraph offers further insight into this plea for forgiveness. Among these are “for following trends when we should’ve followed Jesus. We told others how to live but did not listen ourselves. We live in the land of plenty, denying ourselves nothing, while ignoring our neighbors who actually have nothing. We sat on the sidelines doing nothing while AIDS ravaged Africa. We were wrong; we’re sorry. Please forgive us.”

In a statement, Senior Pastor Keith Stewart explains:

“No one’s perfect. You blow it. I blow it. And the Church does, too. I’m sure that you (like me) have, on more than one occasion, had to make something right by apologizing. So why is it so rare to hear a church apologize? The truth is, an apology from the Church should not ’stand out.’ But it does, precisely because that the Church rarely does what it tells others to do. We want to change that.”

Stewart continues, “With this public apology, our foremost desire is to take responsibility for how we have failed in this area because with 100% responsibility for our attitudes and behaviors comes 100% forgiveness. And secondly, in keeping with the spirit of repentance, our desire is to keep our eyes on Jesus and allow Him to keep us focused on His mission.”

Internet use ‘good for the brain’

For middle-aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.

A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulated centres in the brain that controlled decision-making and complex reasoning.

The researchers say this might even help to counteract the age-related physiological changes that cause the brain to slow down.

  • If liking the feel of new socks on your feet is wrong then I don’t want to be right.
  • Rightly or wrongly, a U. S. president gets the credit or blame for the economy.  But I wonder how many presidents have left office with the Dow lower than when he started.  George W. Bush was sworn in on Saturday January 20, 2001.  The previous day, the Dow closed at 10,587.59.  Yesterday the Dow closed at 8979.26.
  • Man, I’ve been in the doldrums as of late and I can’t figure out why.
  • KitKats taste best right out of the freezer.
  • That’s the only candy bar I eat, if you consider that a bar.
  • I turned over to PBS for a brief moment to check out the Texas Senate debate and heard an extremely stupid question asked by a moderator.  Her question, and I’m paraphrasing, “Both of you state that you would punish businesses that hire illegal immigrants.  Lets say you hire a contractor to do some work on your house, and the contractor brings over illegal immigrants to work.  What would you do?  Would you call immigration? Would you allow them to work? What would you do?”  Come on, give me a break.   Like you can tell someone is an illegal immigrant just by observation.  She didn’t even clarify the question by stating that the contractor told you he hired illegal immigrants.  And if it’s an issue that that don’t speak English, that’s a weak argument because there are plenty of legal immigrants that do not speak English.

  • Dallas ISD continues to disappoint.  For those of you that don’t know, because of an accounting error, they are short $84 million and had to lay off teachers.  Notices were announced yesterday, and the news coverage was just heartbreaking, especially seeing the young students crying.  Just think, at one time people went to teaching for the job security.
