Life’s full of fools.
Some verses for reflection:
Pro 26:4-5 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Ecc 7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Pro 13:20 He that walketh with wise [men] shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Pro 14:15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent [man] looketh well to his going. A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. [He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
Pro 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him.
Pro 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself
Ecc 10:12 The words of a wise man’s mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
Pro 29:9 [If] a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, [there is] no rest.
Pro 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise [man] keepeth it in till afterwards.
Pro 15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so.
misc/329_bathroombreakIt’s been a while since I’ve posted a new photo of the “week”, but since the Star Wars movie, “Revenge of the Sith“, is coming out next week, I thought it would be appropriate to post this nice picture of a stormtrooper taking a break.

Just applied a new security update to WordPress, the software we use to run our blog. It was literally a 10 second process. These guys are getting good!
If you see any problems, please email me or Sarah…
Thanks!
Been a little quiet here recently, since I’ve been working on a new project. The other day, I was looking for a Bible dictionary on the Internet, and couldn’t seem to really find what I was looking for. I did find the Compass Wiki, which is more like a Theological dictionary. In other words, it’s more likely to have articles on transubstantiation than Abraham.
So, not one to wallow in misery, I looked at what I would need to do to create my own open content Bible dictionary. I downloaded the MediaWiki software (that’s the software that powers Wikipedia.org), and installed it on my webserver.
I started out creating some text on a main page, and then writing up a few articles on Joshua, Caleb, and Abraham to try out some of the features of the software, and it’s pretty cool.
One of the cool features is the autoformatting, so you don’t have to learn XML in order to edit the pages. The most commonly used markups (bold, italics, hyperlinks) are all icons on the editing screen, and it’s easy to create multi-sectioned articles. The software even creates a table of contents for you automatically.
So, if you’re interested in the concept of on online Bible dictionary, check it out. I’ll decide on my level of committment over the next few weeks, but check it out if you have time, and even try your hand at writing some articles.
