David shot me this link and posted his results on his website tonight. I promise I am not trying to one-up him by telling you that I did this weeks ago… just trying to let you kow that I did, in fact, find this particular test some time back. Heck, I may have even posted [...]

Last week, Bybo posted on his LiveJournal about Marguerite Perrin, the self-proclaimed God Warrior that appeared on the season premiere of Fox’s Trading Spouses. I heard others talking about the oh-so-charming Bible-thumping mother, so I made it a point to watch the second half that aired last night. The show was a trainwreck. I didn’t want [...]

I stumbled across this tonight. Apparently, there was a Southern Baptist group providing hurricane relief down in south Florida that refused to give water to people who were in need. “Why?” you ask. Good question. I only wish I had a better answer. Apparently, the water had been provided by Anheuser-Busch, and the canned water had the [...]

I must confess before writing this that I hardly feel qualified. I don’t know that my toolbelt is adequately prepared for the thoughts that I need to express. At any rate, I shall stumble forward in hopes that my foolish ramblings might make sense. Last weekend, I stumbled across a post on Andrew Jones’ blog that [...]

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to teach down the hall from one of the most colorful characters I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Ms. Roberta Horan had taught German at one of the local magnet schools for years, and even though she was no longer teaching German, her students insisted upon [...]

Miranda and I were going to take the girls back to Journey Church this morning. The Maddox family was going to visit there with us again, and we were looking forward to it. While I was in the shower, Ian called and let us know that they weren’t going to be able to make it. [...]

I was checking out the blog of Andrew Jones (yes, the Tall, Skinny, Kiwi himself!) when I found a reference to an article in Christianity Today. Now, in the post on Andrew Jones’ blog, he points out that emergent folks ought to be reading the biographies of dead Christians… and that is a wonderful point with [...]

Okay, so it wasn’t really a family reunion, but we still got a chance to hang out. See, tomorrow is my mother’s birthday, so she and my dad came into town this afternoon. Pearl (my mother) wanted to spend some time with my girls, so we met them at a local shopping center so she [...]

Okay, okay… so I promised I would try to write somewhat daily. I suppose a hiatus of almost two weeks is inexcusable. I assure you, this is not one of those cases where I stopped writing because nothing was going on… in fact, the main reason has been because I knew I needed to [...]

Okay, I have to admit that there are certain things that I just don’t understand. The mayor of New Orleans had ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city, and yet he knew that there were literally thousands of people who had no way out of the city. Perhaps he thought he had no way to [...]
