According the Christian Post, the pastor of a large church in Kentucky has asked the church’s 8,000 members to send letters of love and support to Britney Spears.

Isn’t that just the loveliest thing you’ve ever heard? Thousands of children are starving every day, but these folks expend their energy by writing to Britney Spears.

"I believe they are doing exactly what Jesus would do," said Tammy Harlan, a Louisiana resident. "I wish more churches would reach out."

Sure honey, that’s right. We have not one single, written word from Jesus Christ himself. He was spending his time and energy writing to wayward pop stars in Jerusalem.

Mary: "Son, I wish you would write to Mark. He hasn't heard about that lovely sermon you gave on the mount. Or was it a plain? Whatever."

Jesus: "Not now, mom. I'm writing to Salwa."

Mary: "Who's Salwa?"

Jesus: "Geez, Mom. She's that famous singer who got busted riding that donkey after drinking too much wine. You know, during that wedding you and I went to. The one in Cana. Don't you know anything?"

Sites I read every day

Every day, there are a few websites that I really enjoy reading for various reasons.

Christian Post is always entertaining for me. It’s extremely conservative and each day they have at least one article where they’re banging on their high-chairs about the "gay agenda." Whenever they mention the issue of gay marriage, they always write the word ‘marriage’ in quotes. Gay “marriage.”

Sure, that’s irritating. But imagine what it must be like for someone who is that hung up on the gay issue. I might encounter that sort of nonsense sporadically, but someone like that has to live in their own head 24/7.
Poor things.

I also like abcnews.com because people can comment on all the articles. I love reading the comments. Something like North and South Korea signing a peace treaty may get a spattering of comments, but Britney losing her children got over four hundred.

I also look at Al-Jazeera to get a different perspective. I think that’s important.

Of course, The Onion is brilliant. One shouldn’t take things too seriously and the Onion keeps me balanced. New issues come out every Wednesday.

I always look at the weather on noaa.gov and see what the weather is doing back in Texas. The geek in me loves weather-related things.

No Impact Man is fascinating. That’s the guy in New York City who is living for one year with no environmental impact. No electricity, no public transportation, only locally grown food, producing no garbage. Fascinating.

Then, there are my favorite bloggers. Lorraine, Eric, Iwanski, JP, and City Mouse. I have to read them every day. I get disappointed when they don’t update enough for my entertainment.

So, those are the sites I look at each day. I don’t think homeland security is going to come after me over these.

But perhaps I shouldn’t look at Iwanski so much.
