Another parable blatently stolen from Doug Wilson: Once there was a man who would not write anything down. This was only a mild nuisance when it came to things like grocery lists, but it was a significant problem in his extensive business dealings. He would make agreements, as he put it, “the way his grandpappy […]

Our pluralistic society didn’t like it when Bush referred to certain countries as an “Axis of Evil”. To call something “evil” means that we’re placing an absolute moral judgement on that group, and our society doesn’t like absolute morals. However, because there is no escaping the world that God made, there is no escaping moral […]

misc/dprowseI’ve mentioned before that I think George Lucas’ decision to change the Star Wars movies was one of the dumbest ideas ever, and totally destroyed the mythology of the Star Wars Universe. That being said, I wasn’t surprised when I found out that David Prowse was snubbed to reprise his role as Darth Vader, for […]

I usually don’t blog about work too often, but I thought it was worth mentioning that Lockheed Martin rolled out the Microsoft Windows Messenger client to all our workstations this past Friday. It’s a great move, as we had been using email as an IM tool (i.e. “What are we doing for lunch?”). Some stuff […]

This is pretty cool. A blogger in London has set up a database for associating geocoordinates with websites called “GeoURL“. You can register a website, and then see who is close to you. Here is a list of the blogs registered on his site within 100 miles of us.

In the past few months, there have been discussions going on in certain circles about Christian marriage, and specifically about prenuptial agreements and whether they are ever appropriate in a Christian marriage. In my studies of Scripture, I’ve concluded that prenuptual agreements are not only permissible, but would actually be wise for an engaged couple. […]

Never one to be satisfied with anything, I was up until 1am changing the layout of the weblog. I decided to go with a three-column layout, so the left side was less cluttered. Sarah and I wanted to make the site more interesting, so we’re to going to try to keep more images in the […]

PicsOfKids/110_1006Just wanted to test adding pictures to our blog entries. It looks like it’s simply a matter of a few clicks, copy and paste a filename, and we’ll see what happens. Here is a nice picture of Thomas and Tabitha, at one of their more pleasant times. Thank God for cameras, that we can capture […]

“To say that someone is a conservative does not tell us what he is interested in conserving. Within our lifetimes, we have seen hard line communists trying to conserve the Soviet Union, fanatical Muslims trying to conserve ancient Islamic traditions, and American right-wingers trying to conserve the rich heritage of ‘Ozzie and Harriet.’ The word […]

I’ve been reading over George W. Bush’s inauguration speech he gave on Thursday. After reading it, I think I’m starting to understand why so many evangelicals like him, and why he really grates me the wrong way. Over and over, Bush used words like “freedom” and “liberty” (27 and 15 times, respectively), yet he never […]

Our society is collapsing around us. Basic concepts of civilization have slowly eroded to the point where we have simply lost any sense of intelligence as a whole. Proof of this lies on the wrapper of a bag of sunflower seeds sitting in front of me. The wrapper says on the front, “Eating Instructions: Crack […]
