I'm still testing out this theme.

I should say a jesus. Not the real Jesus. He found him for 50 cents in a vending machine after rendering unto the machine what belongs to George Washington. Or maybe Jorge, since pictures were en Español. The troubling thing is that I don’t know how to describe this situation without being offensive. But then [...]
Pay attention, because for all practical purposes Federal debt is the god of this nation. It’s where we go for everything. Hurricane? Borrow and spend, and complain that the blessings of deficit-god didn’t arrive quick enough. Terrorists? Wade into a million things we don’t understand, borrow and spend and if anyone disagrees they’re doubting deficit-god [...]
First of all, the bottles are about twice as thick as the Deer Park’s of the water world. These days, drinking Deer Park is like sipping water from a baggy. They’ve reduced the thickness of the bottles to save money on petrochemical plastics, and reduce landfill space. But not Fiji. It is nearly indestructible. The [...]
The professor that gave the famed “last lecture” has died. Here’s the speech. Here is a similar post from an Iraq soldier who prepared a final blog entry should he be killed in his tour of duty. And there are other ways people have persisted beyond their existence. Such as books and letters. I actually [...]
Here’s a couple interesting picture galleries. First, a 1975 slide presentation on computing, showing that buzzwords have been around since day one. Second, a group of pictures from Mike Tyson’s long abandoned mansion. Which kind of looks 1975′y too. (warning…reader comments are a little rough) If archeologists found this place in the distant future, I [...]
It’s a common evangelical message (and rightly so) to say that the world offers a fake hope. You know…counterfeit life. It appears they’re also offering fake coffee too.
Ok, pull out the hankies. Frankly, I thought he was going to maul them….
A few things of note. First, I’m hoping to record a couple additional tunes soon. These 2 songs will be put together with all 20 other songs from the CD’s and put into one massive CD. The idea is to make it easier to give away CDs (economies of scale) and make the full album [...]
and came up with 0 results. I would say this needs some revision. Like a back to the drawing board evaluation. You know…square one kind of stuff!
One thing I’m learning from these churches is that you really don’t know about a church until you set foot in the door. You can see things on TV, read websites, hear rumors, listen to criticism, and generally find out all sorts of things. But you really never know until you’re there. You don’t see [...]
Our fam visited Christian Life Church over the weekend, on the invitation from a friend. To put it in my daughter’s words, these folks are very enthusiastic. This enthusiasm included how they treated visitors. Everyone was extremely friendly, and we found total strangers answering our questions and giving us directions. The pastor’s wife, Gayla, noticed [...]
The Tribble arrived today. I can’t wait to see this thing next to dolls and Barbies.
Matthew 6:19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, Unless of course your treasure is FDIC insured. Then everything’s going to be just fine. IndyMac Bank failed today. The second largest bank failure in U.S. history. The largest was Continental Illinois. [...]
Over the weekend my brother got my daughter interested in Tribbles (from the Star Trek episode). She looked online and found where you could buy a Tribble. Because she has to read a bazillion books this summer for school in the fall, I quickly made any tribble purchase dependent on a book reading. She is [...]
I’ve written about this before, but I love the Farmville Baptist blog. In the last year I’ve read hundreds and hundreds of church blogs Christian bloggers. This one has stuck in my reader. I’ve never been to this church, so all I know about it is via the web. When visiting a church, I am [...]
By now most have heard about that stone tablet that is either a significant find in support of Biblical timelines, or somehow takes away from the story of Jesus. Depends on who you believe, but you can pretty much predict how the ‘regular’ media is going to spin it. Albert Mohler has a good take [...]
I’ve always wondered how this works. This is fascinating.
