“Hypocrite!” That’s a charge oft heard by people who believe something and then because of their human weaknesses somehow fail to live up to the standards they have set for themselves or others. So the other day I decided to study the word to discover what those ugly nine letters are all about.

The world didn’t end on Friday, Dec. 21, 2012 like the Mayan calendar indicated. I wasn’t surprised, were you?
For the weeks preceding the Mayan doomsday date the National Aeronautic and Space Administration calmed fears among those who thought a bunch of Mayans a few millennia ago could predict the end of the world. I’m thinking they didn’t predict anything. I’m thinking they got tired of chopping calendars out of stone and went home for supper. I mean, how many calendars into the future do you really need?

What was the first Christmas song you remember singing?
If you went to Sunday school as a child it’s likely that it was “Away in a Manger.”
You remember how it goes, don’t you?
Away in a Manger no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

WASHINGTON Cheap NFL Jerseys – MLS Cup certainly looks the same as it did a year ago. Houston and Los Angeles will meet again at the Home Depot Center in a couple of weeks. The two teams follow orders from the same men and prefer the same approaches. They fight for the same prize and wear the same colors.But this so-called rematch isn't that simple.
