The title for this post does not come from an “us or them” mindset. The title for this post is inspired by a program that is being sponsored by a local hospital called “Bikes for the Rest of Us”. I’m … Continue reading →

The “girl-child” and I are a “group” in our class and we have a project due. Our subject is “the History of Christian Music”, concentrating on the tension between “Contemporary Christian Music Industry” and the independents. I ran across the … Continue reading →

You Are Guinness You know beer well, and you’ll only drink the best beers in the world. Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them. When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a … Continue reading →

(This is pretty long, there are three subjects (all related) and the last one has a question (so you’ll have to read the whole thing – hah!) Here are some words from Yahoo News: The court dismissed today the case … Continue reading →

A long, long time ago I went backpacking in Arizona to see some ruins. It was a great trip and we did the overnight thing… There was a sign on the outhouse door, “Please do not let the door slam … Continue reading →

We got up this morning to no hot water. It seems that in my messing around with the furnace I also did something unhelpful to the water heater and turned off the pilot light. Tom got that lit again, so … Continue reading →

Yet another go-round in the blogosphere has me thinking. Thinking about relating and an interesting exchange we had in my class (at a secular college) It’s about the “L” in the TULIP – “limited atonement”. I believe that atonement is … Continue reading →

My furnace quit today. And it’s Friday and very, very expensive to call a furnace guy for an emergency call on a weekend. Here are the blessings. My house appears to be holding heat amazingly well. We have doors to … Continue reading →

I posted my paper (on the group of Russian composers called “The Russian Five” – not to be confused with the hockey team) here. Please feel free to proof read for any outstanding stupidity… (for the next couple of hours … Continue reading →

I turned the “little paper” in tonight- I forgot I have parent-teacher’s conferences this Tuesday and Thursday, so my after school work time on my larger paper is very reduced. So… My “reflection question” for next week is based on … Continue reading →

There is a persecuted church…and it isn’t here in the United States. Cerulean Sanctum has this today. Please remember the persecuted church in your prayers.

I’d rather do just about anything else around the house rather than write my papers. 1) make a salad using Aristotle’s “Four Causes” 2) research paper on “something or someone” during the Romantic Period. #1 is due tomorrow #2 is … Continue reading →

I thought I’d share some of the favorite posts I ran across this last week. This is a “must read” if you are a believer looking to see Jesus. Michael Spencer – well, just read. Here’s a little bit of … Continue reading →

I’ve been pondering forgiveness and restoration (because of the possibility of running into a person that I’d rather not deal with.) I’m a follower of Jay E. Adams and “From Forgiven to Forgiving” is a book that I turn to … Continue reading →

Yesterday I came into work and my watch was sitting on my desk. That wouldn’t have been odd at all (I leave it places) but I had thrown it away the afternoon before. After I broke it (it’s one of … Continue reading →

It’s an old photo, from when it was very new. It means a lot to me. My daughter and I took a Greek class together (so the letters are Greek). My son designed it for me. But the deeper meaning … Continue reading →

This was a sentence that was mispoken by the pastor this morning as he snitched a grape from a visual object lesson. I’m sure he meant to say, “These grapes have seeds in them.” That very little slip of the … Continue reading →

A dear friend that I trust believes that it’s not time for us to leave our church just yet. So that’s where we’re going this morning. I have a mid-term on Tuesday, as well as a small paper due. The … Continue reading →

It’s a “sensory issue”. Folks out there who know about this “thing” in my head might know what I’m talking about. I have times (last night) when I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin. The skin … Continue reading →

Right now, all over the place, I’m seeing many places were problems pop up when discernment takes a “backseat” (to “love”, to “relationships”, to “socializing”). The other night, a “telephone ministry” caller got hold of me. (Yes, I know I’ll … Continue reading →
