Kate’s Bridal Shower
BridalShower/IMG_0233Kate’s bridal shower was this afternoon! Great Grandma Trudy, Becky, Liz, Diana, Tabitha and I all rode up together. The winding and bumpy roads failed to put me into labor, and we listened to “Disney Princess” songs the whole way there for Tabitha’s sake. She was upset that we were taking grandma’s car and not […]

More from Mississippi
More quality discernment from our Mississippi brethren: Additionally, leading pastor-theologians in the Reformed and evangelical world have raised concerns over the unbiblical and anti-confessional views of the NPP, NTW, NS and the AAT/FV theologies. Sinclair Ferguson, Al Mohler, Doug Kelly, Don Carson, Rick Phillips, John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Cal Beisner, Frank Barker and more have […]

Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church has written up a response to the report, which the MVP notes in it’s final version of their report as adopted. UPDATE: Joel Garver has […]

You Cannot Deny Evil Exists
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 […]

David Prowse is My Hero
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 […]

Instant Messenger
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 […]

Who Out There?
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.

Grammar Lesson
From the AP Stylebook : Affect, as a verb, means to influence: The game will affect the standings. Affect, as a noun, is best avoided. It occasionally is used in psychology to describe an emotion, but there is no need for it in everyday language. Effect, as a verb, means to cause: He will effect […]

Gifts and Ministries in the Church
This is a post that I made to our church’s “unofficial” Yahoo! listserv. In reality, we are all part of the same body, and there is no such thing as “unofficial” – a thought which didn’t come to mind till AFTER I hit “send”. But, I think the gist is still there: Today I read […]

Aiden’s New Era of Freedom
Aiden has learned to climb in and out of his pack-n-play crib. We have a second pack-n-play in the living room and, this morning, I walked into the living room and there he was playing with his toys in the playpen. Hmm… I didn’t put him in there! And then, after his nap this afternoon, […]

Christian Prenups
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. […]

Christian Women’s Magazines: pt 1
I love reading women’s magazines. Okay, back up. I love life and I am inspired by its every aspect. I love to hear about what other people think, feel, and do. I love it, especially, when hearing about the stories and ideas of women, in particular, motivates me to respond in some way – and […]

Tumble-Bumble
album05/IMG_0421Aiden fell down this morning. Anyone who knows my son also knows that falling down is not newsworthy enough to write about. This was different. When I came in the backdoor after taking the trash out this morning, Sarah was sitting at the kitchen table with Aiden in her lap and tears in her eyes. […]

New Format
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 […]
