Jonathan Edwards was a Puritan minister in the 1700's.  He was a revival preacher.  Many people would fall to their knees and cry for their sins.  He also was a pulpit preacher and scientist.  A great man with a great heart.

Kansas is beautiful.  In the Southeast corner even, there are waterfalls!

I have a Yahoo! Club dealing with Calvinism and Christianity. See it! You have to become a member of Yahoo! Clubs, as well as a member of my club to see everything and have all the features available to you.

Have you sung God's Hymnal, the book of Psalms?  Well, here are links to some Psalms.  I will post the lyrics to the Scottish Psalter of 1650 or the Book of Psalms for Singing with a tune to go along with them. By the way, I got the Psalm selections from the link on the right of this box.  Now, to those selected Psalms: Psalm 1            Psalm 103                         Psalm 29          Psalm 128 Psalm 46          Psalm 146 Psalm 51         **Under Construction**                           Psalm 91

Here are my FAVORITE links: Intellicast A nice site for radar and satellite.  Includes storm relative velocity---- a picture of the winds, as well as precip on the nexrad radars of all the sites in America! Weather Channel Another nice weather site from the cable network. Earthwatch This is from a company.  There are forecasts, radar and satellite, and more.  You can even fly through the clouds, so to speak. Weathernet         This is like Intellicast in many respects.  It has weather cams though.  Intellicast does not. Center for Reformed Theology and Apologetics I really like this site.  You can read about Calvinism and also it has a bookstore, links, articles on many subjects, email discussion groups, even an online discussion board.   What a site!!! McPherson High School High Life Newspaper This is the local high school newspaper.  Check out my articles. Presbyterian Church (USA) This denomination of Presbyterianism has strayed, but for now, I call it my home. Presbyterian Coalition This is a PCUSA renewal movement.  It is great! Strait Gate This is an excellent Reformed and Calvinistic website. Calvin's Castle Another Calvinist site.  A MUST SEE! Brownie's Third Lung This is a wonderful dive website.  It is a company selling a product that lets you dive underwater with a floating bouy at the top of the water!  No Scuba tanks here!!   This looks excellent.  A great idea.  I also have had a fascination with diving, and thus, I like this site. Presbyweb This is a news resource, "from left to right" for the PCUSA.  It is a great site. Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America Here is the homepage to the RPCNA.  Reformed Witness Brian Schwertley, an RPCNA pastor, has many intriguing articles on this site.  See the one about 'exclusive Psalmody.'  It made me think and I even read it twice it was so thought-provoking. Sterling Reformed Presbyterian Church Here you will see the homepage of the nearest RPCNA church that I will be joining. Stratford Orthodox Presbyterian Church A friend of mine is the webmaster of this page.  There is some great sermons at this site.  Be sure to drop a line to the webmaster and say Roy sent ya...:) Princess of Prayer Here is one website of Amy Lauren, an online friend from South Carolina and a convert to the Reformed faith. Christian Coffeeshop Here is yet another website of Amy's.

WHO IS THE NUT BEHIND THIS WEBSITE? I am Roy Waggoner and I live in Kansas.  I like the state; it is not like the stereotypes.  I am interested in Christian Theology (mostly Calvinism), weather, other science, and early American history-- meaning up to 1776.  I don't have many hobbies, but they include going on the internet, playing computer games, reading, watching tv, listening to music, sleeping in-- Is that a hobby?!, walking my dog, and riding my bike-- though I hardly ever do that anymore.  I am 18 and go to high school as a senior.  My favorite food would have to be chocolate ice cream, followed by pizza and then strawberry shortcake.  My music interest is Contemporary Christian.  I have a brother and sister, both older.  I am involved in the high school newspaper and have an interest in journalism.  See the high school paper's online edition above-- I have it linked.  I am active in the local church of the Presbyterian Church (USA), but am in the process of joining the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America.  Both churches have websites listed above.

Some Quotes:

"Alas!  And did my savior bleed?  And did my sovereign die?  Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?  Was is for the crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree?  Amazing pity!  Grace unknown!  And love beyond degree!"------ Isaac Watts (1707)

"I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified unless we preach what is nowadays called Calvinism.  It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the Gospel and nothing else.  I do not believe we can preach the Gospel....unless we preach the sovereignty of God in his dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah.  Nor do I think we can preach the Gospel unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of his elect and chosen people which Christ wrought out upon the cross; nor can I comprehend the Gospel which allows saints to fall away after they are called."-----Charles Haddon Spurgeon, "A Defense of Calvinism"

Commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance By Red Skelton I---- Me; an individual; a committee of one.  Pledge----  Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.  Allegiance---- My love and my devotion.  To the Flag---- Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.  United----  That means that we have all come together.  States---- Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.  And to the Republic---- Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. For which it stands One Nation----  One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.  Indivisible---- Incapable of being divided.  With Liberty---- Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.  And Justice---- The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.  For All----  For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.  And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: "Under God."; Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too? Red Skelton

We need God in America again!!
