Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law for this delicious recipe. We marinated some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in, of all things, Catalina dressing. It was delicious. Brother-in-law suggested a minimum 12 hour marinade, but ours only had a 1-hour soak (did you like the Deadliest Catch reference?): "Well, think of it this way. If you like it with a short marinade, you'll really like a long marinade," he said. It still tasted good. Thanks, guys; we'll give the long soak a try some other time (like when we think ahead in plenty of time to prepare it).

Give it try, I'm sure you'll like it, too.

I'm a Coke man. I like Diet Coke and Diet Coke with Lime and Coke Zero Vanilla and Barq's and Pibb.

I don't like Pepsi. I think Pepsi is too sweet. Of course, I think the same of regular Coke, too. Fact is, I think even Diet Pepsi tastes too sweet.

But, I found a Pepsi product I really like...

What more can I say than has already been said? That reminds me of a passage from scripture.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

The Preface
While watching T.V. last night—Deadliest Catch, I believe—I saw a commercial for the forthcoming G.I. Joe movie. I thought I caught a glimpse of Ben Affleck in the film, so I headed over to IMDb to see if he was listed among the cast for the film. What I discovered baffles me.

I didn't think it would take this long, but there's really nothing to add today. How about some bullet points?

Blues Brothers reference aside, I'll be frank and up front about it. I want to fill the month of June with an entry every day. There may be days where there is one entry. There may be days where there are several entries. Some entries may be thoughtful and insightful. Some entries may be mundane. Some entries may be long and eloquent. Some entries may be a title and a sentence.

I'm calling this mission "Every Day an Entry". So, here's entry number 1 for Every Day an Entry, 1 June 2009.

Wow, been a while since I've been here...nearly a month.

So, what is a steadfast Lutheran? A Lutheran who stands fast to the truth despite the myriad and unrelenting onslaught of false doctrine, lies, and temptations that so easily pervade and persuade the Church. This is nothing new; Christians have been called to remain steadfast since the beginning of Christianity:

I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Revelation 2:9-10

If you look just above this post, you'll see my moblog has changed. Well, I'm no longer using flickr; I'm using my own script (well, a script by a friend with some tweaks to suit my needs). The layout is rather rudimentary at the moment, but expect that to change in the near future...like soon after I figure out what I want to do there.

Hollywood and Left-wing liberal nut-job go together like love and marriage (there's a topic for another post, but not here). But, like every relationship involving more than two people, there is bound to be a black sheep. This list shows some of Hollywood's members of the politically conservative. There's some talent on this list, some that I enjoy watching or listening to—now I have another reason to.

On a side note, I still want to see An American Carol.
