I Hate To See Any Company Go Out of Business, But In This Case ....


I read today that the "Crocs" could be on their way out. The company that makes them lost $185 million last year. It seems that they are falling out of favor with the trendy and fashion conscious. See the report here. I hate to see any company go out of business, but this was some of the worst looking footwear ever conceived. The stock price hit almost $70 per share in October 2007. It closed today at about $3 - ouch!!

Calvinism Gets Some Press

I ran across this article in a Nashville newspaper. It seems that the tenets of Calvinism are gaining a resurgence among some younger Christians. While I wouldn't label myself as a "Calvinist", I generally believe that Calvin interpreted the Bible correctly. For me, this "high view" of God helps explain many of the difficulties I used to have with some of the things I read in the Bible. Here is another older article I found that discusses Calvinism. I would encourage you to read the Bible and make your own determinations about wthat it says after careful and reasoned study.
