How come i"m not seeing the entirety of some of these comments and some of the quotes are blank?

Cuz you use one of those new-fangled machines with an apple on it.

Hey now, I use a fruity machine and it works just fine! LOL

Ditto! My ifruit has no problems.

Tricia, it's most likely the problem is with your browser. It probably needs to be updated.

I'm pretty sure I have the latest version of Safari... oh well. If I don't it's because I need OS 10.5 and I have 10.4.11. I told ya, my machine is old

I broke down and replied on that Dawny Beau chic's comment thread...

Yeah, I think you can only load up to a certain version of Safari with 10.4... have to have 10.6 or 10.7 for the most recent.

Hopefully I will be able to get updated soon. I would like to get the Mac Mini. I hate having a huge tower and my dog likes to mark his territory on it!  I have to wrap plastic around the bottom of it!

I was just sitting here thinking, it wouldn't have been hard to predict this was coming. Not because Marc became an Internet sensation singing a song written by a well-known homosexual man, or because he went on a TV show hosted by a well-known homosexual woman, but because he's in the public eye. I'd be hard-pressed to find an instance where fame hasn't been polarizing. When people know of you, the majority of them are going to have an opinion about you. And those opinions are never going to be the same.

As the guys have been doing this for over ten years and have had somewhat of a public profile, I know this isn't the first time that they've received criticism, but as this is the highest the profile of the band or any of its members has been, I'd be willing to guess that this is probably the biggest flurry of criticism they've received.

I agree. Let's keep them covered in prayer!

Whew, Marc isn't reading the comments.

He said he hasn't heard anything remotely negative from the Christian community.

Let's hope it stays that way!
