If the church were Christian, Jesus would be a model for living, rather than an object of worship.
If the church were Christian, affirming our potential would be more important than condemning our brokenness.

Live Streaming Cartoons

Awhile back I got bored and thought I would look for some old school cartoons. You know the ones anyone over 40 grew up watching. What I call the real cartoons like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Superman, Road Runner etc etc... After looking around for a couple hours I found most of the oldies that I watched when I was a kid. :)

The only problem was they were scattered around on different sites and some of the sites wanted me to register... so they could send me a big dose of SPAM I suppose. So what I did was start my own little blog with all the cartoons. Yea I have some google ads on the blog but trust me its far better then most of the sites these cartoons came from.
