  • Catholic Reasoning about the Canon becomes Circular too

    I recently posted a comment (HERE) to a question about how we know which books belong in the canon (HERE).  This is why I really am not a big fan of traditional apologetics.  Issues are almost always oversimplified. I’ll give the gist of how the Catholic apologist thinks the discussion should go: Catholic asks Protestant:…

  • Some Local Responses to Our Racist Judge

    I posted last week that I reside in the parish in which a judge recently refused to perform an interracial marriage.  I thought I would give a couple links to what the locals are saying.  HERE and HERE are links to two opinion pieces in our local newspaper The Daily Star.  The really odd thing…

  • Ratio and the Flavor Bible

    Anyone who follows me on Twitter or FaceBook may know by now that I love to cook.  I’m not very artistic.  But, cooking for me has become an outlet for creativity (as well as for spending time with my 5 year old who loves to help me knead dough).  This is a somewhat new development…

  • John Hobbins on Prayer According to the Psalms

    Been slacking on my link posts lately.  But, it’s been a busy month at work.  At any rate, HERE is a post worth a link.  John Hobbins offers a few thoughts on prayer according to the Psalms.  In it he notes that God desires both reverence and honesty in prayer.  Many feel like to be…

  • So This Idiot Judge is in My Home Parish

    So, I just realized this idiot judge who would not marry an interracial couple is in my hometown.  And, according to Jim West I should stand in front of his office with a sign and demand his resignation.  Chances are he won’t be in tomorrow though.  And, chances are I won’t be able to get…

  • 4 Reasons Hebrew is Better Than Greek

    Before I give the impression that this matter is open to debate, rest assured it is not.  I am only supplying four reasons why Hebrew is better than Greek; there are a myriad of reasons.  Some might even argue that it makes no sense to call one language “better” than another.  I disagree.  This type…

  • Song I Always Think about around Birthday Time

    Don’t know why, but around birthday time when the weather starts to cool (a little) I always think about this song.  I think I probably saw Better Than Ezra at some point when I was a teenager around my birthday (and just about every other season of the year).  Anyway, I pulled out the acoustic…

  • KJV Only Book Burning – My Perspective

    HERE is a link to a video on Joel Watt’s blog about an upcoming book burning at a church in North Carolina.  I wanted to give just one thought from my perspective.  Someone needs to sneak in and spike the punch at this shindig.  This is one of the reasons that God has given us…

  • Refurbished Kindle Here and in Ideal Condition

    Well, today is my birthday.  And, a number of family members pooled in together to get me a Kindle 2.  Of course, it was my job to do the ordering and I am stingy (I run a website focused on free resources for goodness sake!).  So, I checked out the refurbished model of the Kindle,…

  • Faith and Works – A Thought

    Here is a thought that occurred to me today when reading the lectionary reading from Romans 2.1-11, which I know I inherited from elsewhere (perhaps the article a link to at the bottom, though I read it a very long time ago): It is one thing to say that the Bible teaches that justification is…
