A CBN documentary was doing a piece on how preachers don't preach "The Doctrine of Hell" as much anymore. They interviewed several fundy-pundits and various preachers in "successful" churches. CBN's message seemed to be that it's all in being "politically correct". I would add that preachers are finding out what characteristics of God are more appealing, which is especially important to seekers. The more fully initiated can be expected to explore more fully the "judgement" aspects, and hopefully, steer images of Hell as a place of punishment to a "state of separation", which is NOT God's desire. So much "hellfire" preaching comes across as the hidden desires and hatreds of the speaker or the interpreter whose message the speaker is delivering. Read more in Fire and Brimstone

I slept late this morning, and after starting my morning coffee in the pot, I sat down, checked mail, and then fired up Radio to read the News from my aggrergator. Doc's post showed up first, and I didn't recognize for a couple of minutes what he was referring to, because I had not separated "Columbia" from "Challenger" (I had not payed much mind to Columbia's mission). It was a little strange feeling that I got the word through the Weblog community, though not surprising. It was like getting a call from a friend or family member asking me if I had heard what just happened. I suppose that kind of thing will happen more and more, since the first news I read each day tends to be from my News Aggregator. All the astronauts seem to be about the same age I am (46).
