The Fire Ant Gazette - A Midland, Texas Blog

While poring over every detail of the Gazette's referer log (yeah, like you don't do that for your blog) I noticed a visit from an unrecognized blog entitled Wild Olive Branch. Turns out it originates in the peachy state of Georgia, and the author comes across as an intelligent and likable guy, despite an apparent lapse in judgment during which he blogrolled the Gazette.

Stephen writes primarily about faith-related issues, and specifically about the Jewish roots of Christianity. But he also mixes in a healthy helping of humor.

I have to admit that his regular references to "praying at IHOP" threw me for a bit. I do some of that myself, but it's generally limited to blessing the scrambled eggs and pancakes. It took me a while to figure out that he's referring to the International House of Prayer.

LOL, yeah, praying 24/7 at the House of Pancakes might look a tad strange. :D

Thanks for the link, bud.

I dunno...as long as you're a good tipper, I don't think anyone would complain. ;-)

At our IHOP, most of the waitresses would come over and pray with you, for a while anyway.

Yeah, but do they have Rooty-Tooty-Fruity at the House of Prayer? :-)

Boy, I had a great comeback for that, and I just flat chickened out.

Nah, fresh-baked revelation, but no pancakes. Occasional pot-lucks and picnics, though. :D

Hokulea, that's what I'm here for...to find alternatives so that people won't spend any more time here than they have to! ;-)

I hope things are going well for you in Arkansas, by the way. Sounds like you're getting settled in...the letter carrier gig would be cool, I think.

Hey Eric,

I don't have your e-mail address, so I'll just pop you another comment. You mentioned the Song of Solomon quote I had. Be sure to check out the EXCELLENT teaching series by Mike Bickle on the Song at http://www.hephzibahministries.com/Resources/Bickle/brideofchrist.htm. It will open your eyes to the myriad meanings behind the book, and definitely impact your life in a positive way! :)
