Lyrics: Copyright 2010 James Kennison. All rights reserved.
If I the X Ray vision of a super man I could save a few bucks and stand around and read through the covers of the comics on the stand But although every other page would be backwards I suppose I could still read the evens and odds, well I don't know
I guess I haven't thought this all the way through, Plus as soon as the comic book store guy knew, He'd kick my butt out on the corner
What a Major Spoiler!
Oh wait! I think I've found a better way If I was hulking green or gray I could bust through that brick wall, take their comic books away But then the little me would deal With all the tanks and bombs and guns Have you tried to read a series with all that going on?
I guess I need to rethink this plan, How would I bag and board my comics with such huge hands? Guess I already told ya...
What a Major Spoiler!!

What a Major Spoiler!!

This week I'm reading some of the feedback emails we've gotten from the various NLCast Community shows. These emails are from folks who have found comfort from one of the podcast episodes.

Are we allowed to look lustfully at a woman as long as it's a photograph and we don't assume the subject's intention was to entice us to lust? The article I'm discussing uses a few scriptures and a lot of fluff to say YES. I read the same scriptures in context, remove the fluff, and say no.
Possible side-effect of this episode: Not being able to look a Hamburger in the eye.

You'll learn words like: Submit, Domination, Preeminence, Patriarchy, Master, Authority, Obey and Serve, and how they apply to women in a loving Christian Marriage. This is either the best thing I've recorded recently or the WORST thing ever. You decide!
