Indecent Exposure, Journaling vs. Blogging and Other Saturday PM Thoughts
Well, I’m really just writing this post to apologize to everyone for the state of disarray in my forums. I’m hacking punBB to pieces in the strong delusion hope that it will: a) become a vibrant community of people discussing important things b) bring back all the people who got bored with it and left...

And what we find many times–and maybe not on this side of glory–is that God had a greater plan in mind, something that we did not see, something that He had been weaving together. This is the dilemma that we face sometimes: when we have a loving God yet we find ourselves in an unloving... Read More

So you’re bored by the dry-oatmeal taste of Google.com? Liven up Google with a bit of candy-coated weirdness: Ewmew Fudd – Seawch the web, Wooney Toons styew.

Dear Jesus, Will Spammers Go To Heaven?
You know, sometimes I sympathize with people. Even people who’ve done horrible stuff. I pat them on the back and say, “God loves you, in spite of your sin.” Grace is an amazing thing. But sometimes I get to wonderin’ about spammers. Who are these people that think I want gold watches, hot girls, vicodin,... Read More

One of my junior high students IM’ed me with this: “Well, you can just **** my ****”… only this person didn’t use stars, they were requesting a pretty perverse sexual encounter. I paused for a moment, taken quite by surprise. I started typing and backspaced a few times before recieving the next message: “Oops, wrong... Read More

World War III and the American Agrarian Society
With all this sabre-rattling I feel like we’re reliving the start of World War I. It was like a junior high spat only magnified infinitely with bloody, bloody consequences. Everyone seems to be studying each subtle nuance of every international move: “Was the condemnation of Hezbollah by the Arab League the beginning of a split... Read More

Boy, talk about a photo op gone bad. Can you picture all the cringing White House staffers?

This has been bothering me for weeks now. Being a Christian means alot of things for alot of people. I can’t help coming away from my jaunt around the Internet without picking up the impression that anything goes as a Christian. And to give everyone a frame of reference, I’m not just talking about my... Read More

Well, I got jealous/inspired by my friend Andy when someone at the American Idol finale got Taylor to write up a “photo-autograph” for him. So I automated the process to make myself and any other sorry saps who don’t have cool friends feel better. You can make your own Taylor Hicks sign here: Taylor Hicks... Read More

I didn’t get to post this yesterday, because yesterday was July 8th, 2006, exactly one year after our wedding day, and I was busy grocery shopping with my wife. (Nothing more romantic than comparing unit prices!) Come to think of it, at this time last year, we were just discovering how small the rooms are... Read More

Camping, Storms and Intercourse
It was good/strange being away from the computer for a few days. I hardly knew what to do with myself without a guitar or a computer, so I made up for it with camp fuel. And pictures. So without any further ado… our 2006 vacation, fully illustrated: We arrived at Lum’s Pond State Park on... Read More

We live 10 minutes from the Delaware River, so I hopped in the car and zoomed over to Lion's Park on the water's edge in Bristol, PA. Here are some of the shots I got: You can view the whole collection here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/plasticmind/sets/72157594181460448/ We're going back tonight when the tide's in…

I nearly drove into a road closed sign today. The windy road that runs through the swamp was closed today because of flooding, and I was being a careless driver on my cell phone and nearly slammed right into it. In other news, we live right next to Neshaminy Creek, which is notorious for flooding;... Read More

I’ve always used Movable Type to manage my style sheets. I’m a WebDev Extension junkie, so I typically tweak my CSS there and then copy/paste it into my style sheet template, save and rebuild. I’ve actually found this to be alot faster and easier (and far more dangerous) than saving it to a local file... Read More

In our first few studies on holiness, we talked a good deal about the theory behind it all. We explored the fact that holiness is a violation of God’s character. We learned that holiness is not about having victory over sin but rather obeying God. We even spent time working through the concept of our... Read More
