Happy New Year. Emphasis on “new”

2008 sure ended with a bang as the U.S. economy melted down, affecting global markets.  And it finally became official. The U.S. has been in a recession since December 2007.
It’s a difficult time for many people with massive job losses and a real credit crunch for business and consumers.

Rick Warren’s love for Gays grows stronger! He’s even modified his website!

And when I say “modified,” I mean he scrubbed some anti-gay rhetoric. Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s any less anti-gay. However, this past weekend Warren did announce that he loves gay people.
