Coffee

There are a lot of things you can take away from me, but coffee is not one of them!

So to my delight, I noted that a local supermarket was advertising: Starbucks Coffee!

I have no idea how the stuff tastes but it’s from America (!) and it seems that anyone who blogs (particularly the Biblical folk) even half decently has, at some point, posted something while sitting in Starbucks on a Saturday morning over a cup of coffee. We have no Starbucks in South Africa so buying the coffee seemed to be the next best thing. You can but imagine my disappointment when I got to the nearest Checkers only to find that they have none in stock here in the Western Cape!?

Oh well… Patience will be required… and a cup of almost faithful Nescafé Ricoffy.

 

Drinking Horse Semen in New Zealand

I kid you not!

It is a very good thing that God is both Just and Merciful.

Because if God were only Just, he might have decided by now that free will, and leaving humanity to its own devices, was a bad call.

And this incredibly stupid story might have been the impetus that finally brought down the Almighty Hammer:

Teste Tincture of the Day: Wellington, New Zealand’s Green Man Pub recently introduced a rather night-marish sounding cocktail that’s equestionable at best: Apple-infused horse semen.

The “active ingredient” arrives fresh from a Christchurch stallion farm, and is served chilled in a shot glass for NZ$25 (US$20) a pop.

According to pub co-owner Steve Drummond, women were the drink’s chief clientele. “”Ladies thought it was great,” he told The Dominion Post. “A couple were going to go home and get their husbands to eat grass.”

I’m sorry, but this is not just gross — it’s sinful. It is disrespectful to creation and disrespectful to our own humanity. It sins against the dignity of both.

This is a half-step away from bestiality…

Sick, sick, sick!

Elizabeth Scalia has more on this evil here.

I can but only wonder how long God will still withhold His divine wrath from an ailing, seditious, fallen, and depraved world?

A Map of World Alcohol Consumption

Hmmm…

The World Health Organisation…

estimates that alcohol results in 2.5m deaths a year, more than AIDS or tuberculosis…
