  • This Song is Hopeful – "Ain't No Reason"

    We have a really good college radio station in my community.  They play some really good indie rock.  I heard this song the other day and thought “wow! that chorus is hopeful.” I like it.  It’s by Brett Dennen.  He’s really a fantastic guitar player.  If you’re into acoustic style rock, check out some of…

  • Letters to juliet – not too bad

    So I mave have had a preference for Robin Hood or Iron Man 2, but I sucked it up and went to see Letters to Juliet with my wife yesterday evening. Guys, if your wife is dying for you to take her to a romantic comedy type movie with a touch of drama, you could…

  • 6th Plague has hit my house …

    Boils.  My daughter has a staph infection and it’s manifesting itself as boils on her knee, elbow, and side.  I guess they’re probably not the same thing as Biblical boils, but not pleasant nonetheless.  This might be a good place for a picture, but I’m going to spare you …

  • My blogging energies are cyclical

    I think they are for everyone, well almost everyone, maybe not #1 and #2. I’ve not been blogging much lately, but this isn’t really one of those “sorry I haven’t blogged in a while post.” I think that is just the ebb and flow of life online or otherwise.  So, if I haven’t blogged to…

  • So, my buddy won an award at the Tribeca Film Festival …

    He won an award last year in the short film category for his film called “Home.”  Matt and I have been friends for a long time, since the 8th grade actually.  We were roommates in college for a while  (in fact I’m going to be having lunch with him today in a bit).  He’s put…

  • Darrel Falk on Bruce Waltke's Resignation

    I agree with Darrel Falk here (of course I accept an evolutionary understanding of the origins of human beings, so I guess I would agree).  Kudos to Bruce Waltke for being open and honest.  I particularly like the final assessment (though I’m no longer an evangelical, I was one), also cited in the Inside Higher…

  • The Stellenbosch Trio of bloggers and more …

    So, I’ve added a Blogroll.  It’s not extensive, but these are the blogs I click through to the most.  Some blogs I once read a lot more than I do now, and I’m reading others a bit more than I once did.  With that said, the list will stay in flux.  Many of these folks…

  • Heard this song this morning and thought about Ecclesiastes…

    Not sure what it was, maybe all that stuff about enjoying life (2.24-25; 3.12-14) and how it’s not good to be alone (4.7-12).

  • Changed my blog's tagline

    So, I changed my blog’s tagline to more accurately reflect what I actually do here.  It previously said  something about helping people understand the Old Testament, which I think the rest of my website does and which I do on my blog sometimes.  But, that’s not really an entirely accurate description of what I do…

  • One thing you can accomplish when you blog less …

    You can exercise more and meet your weight loss goals. I made a bet against myself at the beginning of February. If I didn’t lose 15 pounds in two months I had to give away my iPhone. Well here I am 16 pounds lighter:
