I had big plans for today. I was going to write a book review and so some other good, deep theological writing. Alas, I woke up at 3:00 this morning feeling sicker than a dog. After being up the rest of the night I certainly wasn’t in any shape to do an researching or writing…
I had planned on writing something about procrastination but decided I’d do it later. I’m funny. Anyways, I was thinking today about some similarities between The Passion of the Christ and September 11. That’s a strange duo, I can’t deny, but hear me out. After the Western world was shaken by the events of September…
Several months ago my daughter, who is one year old, got a urinary tract infection. It was nothing too serious – she just had a high fever and experienced a bit of pain. A bit of Tylenol and antibiotics cleared it up quite quickly. The problem is that our doctor decided that such an infection…
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about unity and a result of that post was some discussion of what foundation unity should be built on. Some people believe that any believer should be able to experience unity with any other, while others believe that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to have unity…
Every now and then I need a change of pace around here. I’m wondering if there are some people who come by here on a regular basis that may be interested in asking a question of me. I don’t consider myself a great authority on matters of the faith (and most of you would likely…
There are more good blogs than I know what to do with. When I first began my site I linked to just about every site I felt was worth reading. I found, though, that the more sites I listed, the less the list meant. If I was willing to list everyone I came across, the…
I’m just about to head off to a wedding rehearsal. I have been asked to do the sound and recording at a wedding tomorrow – the first time I’ve done sound for something other than a church service. Of course the wedding is in the auditorium our church uses and will use all the same…
I received a late entry so am going to post it here. This one comes from my buddy James from What Is This. Email From God: Depend on Me Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever – Hebrews 13:8 My Child, A lot of adults you know probably run their lives based…
Today is BlogSwap 3 and it was an open assignment – people were free to write about anything they wanted, and could even submit a favorite article they posted in the past. Despite it being a “freebie” with no real effort required, several people did not participate. Tsk tsk! Here is the list of participants:…
I found a link to a great little article on Dead Man Blogging. The article is written by R.C. Sproul Jr and deals with being set apart. I don’t know what shows are on TV, and I don’t know what songs are on the radio. I couldn’t name enough current NBA players to fill a…
I often find Amazon is an interesting place to get a guage on how people feel about books. Anybody is free to post a review there so popular books often compile several hundreds reviews. The Purpose Driven Life, which places 47th on the Amazon sales list, currently has a whopping 561 reviews with several more…
It seems GMail (Google’s mail service) invites are a new currency on the Web. I have a whole stack of them, so if you are one of the five or six people left who doesn’t have an account, send me an email or post here and I’ll get you hooked up.
Yesterday I returned from a great week-long vacation at my cottage. Just about the whole family drove up from Atlanta to join us there (with the exception of my father who had to work) and we had a wonderful, fun, relaxing time together. I took quite a few photos, though not nearly as many as…
I love to read. It is unusual for me to have fewer than three or four books on the go at any given time. The two topics I tend to read are theology and the Second World War. Strange bedfellows, I agree. My interest in World War II began in my grandfather’s home many years…
I sent out the topic for next week’s BlogSwap. If you indicated an interest in participating you should have received it. If you did not, please let me know ASAP and I’ll send it your way. Next week we’ll have an open topic so people can write about whatever they like. I look forward to…
I am (finally) starting to get some people spamming the forums. Actually, I think it’s only one person, but he posts using different names and IP addresses so I can’t seem to ban him. In order to keep him out I may have to turn off anonymous posting, meaning only people with registered accounts in…
While I was reading the Bible last night I came across 2 Corinthians 11 which speaks about Paul’s defense against false apostles. It seems that after Paul left the church at Corinth false apostles moved in and began to oppose Paul’s message and authority. While Paul was confident about the believers he had left behind…
Yesterday my sister and brother-in-law arrived (late) from Atlanta with their two children. One of those children is my little nephew Joshua whom I had never seen until yesterday. I am taking vacation for the next week to hang out with them. It’s a much-needed vacation. Or much-wanted anyways. I listened to an excellent sermon…
I love finding a new blog to read. It’s kind of like finding a good new book that you can look forward to settling down with. Last night I got an email from the author of Joe Missionary asking to be part of the next BlogSwap. I had never heard of his blog, but read…
From 8 entries in BlogSwap 1 we have increased to 16 entries for BlogSwap 2. I can’t recommend these enough as people have written some really amazing articles. Thanks to everyone who participated. Here is this week’s list of participants:
