>Welcome, Jeff and family.

We appreciate the welcome.

>Just a hint, if you are spreading the word of Christianity in Kittanning, it would be, how should I say, like preaching to the choir. Kittanning is a mini-Bible belt type of town; at least many people would have you beleive. :)
Yes, and I'm quickly finding out that as you say "would have you beleive" is more true then not.
But, I am hoping the sound an alarm (Christian Apologetics) to wake up some of the Christians in Kittaning and the near-by areas.

> What's next though: touting heavy metal as Satan's notepad?

Ahh, now this is the type of comment, made about Christianity that does
seems to give Christianity a black-eys so-to-speak, but it shouldn't and the comment
should be dispelled. Now, I know there are Christians and even whole churches
that look down on Rock music and see it has a vehical of Satan. And I would agree to some
extent. I used to listen to Slayer, Venmon, Deicide, etc... so I know what the songs are about.
Although certainly not to Anton Lavey style of Satanism.

Anyway, there is good rock music and there is bad rock music. Just by pure music
standard. If someone is singing about raping dead women, etc... I would venture
to say...this is not so good of a song. This is not just an opinion like say -
I think the Creamery has bette Ice Cream than Kings. We are talking about morality issues (which are not preference issues).
Etc... Etc... Etc...

Bottem line. Not all rock music is bad and it is certainly not from the devil. Now, when
we talk about the words to the songs...then we have a different discussion.

Anyway...so to be so preachy. It is 12:30am and I should be in bed.

PS. We discovered a bat in our house at 3am last night, and I think it is keeping me up tonight (just the thought of it).
It took 2hrs. to remove it.
