WordPress Plugins
Someone had written asking about the newly added email plug-in that I added, and I thought it might be cool to list the plug-ins that we’re using, and give them a little plug themselves. I am a tweaker, and I’m always on the lookout for cool new plugins. So, thanks to all the people who […]

16 and 19
Sarah-and-Tom/s_t16_19I was cleaning my dresser today and realized I only had one copy of this picture and wanted to scan it in to save. This is Tom and I in 1997, just before my 17th birthday. My mom took the photo in our front yard at our house in Phoenixville, PA. We had just realized […]

Before I actually get into my commentary, I should first give you a little background. Today, Drudge linked to an article in the Guardian about the new phenomenon of “happy slapping” over in the U.K.

Christianity Today (“Take the best and leave the rest”, as my mother in law would say) has a number of newsletters available via email. One that I subscribe to is the Leadership Journal. Here is an excerpt from part of today’s newsletter entitled Avoiding the Argument Party by Brian D. McLaren.

Who Owns Your Culture?
In 1990, Paul Simon released “The Rhythm of the Saints“, which continued his foray into world music which he started with “Graceland”. The album was very successful, and being as Mr. Simon is a very nice guy, he decided to send a portion of the royalties to the government of Ghana, since one of the […]

More Catholic Than Baptist
Some people had commented to me about the relatively high score that Roman Catholic had scored on my recent denomination survey I had taken. Should it be surprising that I relate more closely to the Roman Catholic church than I do to Non-Calvinist Baptists, Pentecostals, Charismatics, and Quakers? I don’t think so, and here is […]

Fat People Unite!
“Being overweight is nowhere near as big a killer as the government thought, ranking No. 7 instead of No. 2 among the nation’s leading preventable causes of death, according to a startling new calculation from the CDC.” So we see in an AP article on the subject. Of course, our Federal Government, being the defender […]

Abusive Churches – Two Articles

An excerpt: First, abusive churches have a control-oriented style of leadership. Second, the leaders of such churches often use manipulation to gain complete submission from their members. Third, there is a rigid, legalistic lifestyle involving […]

Fighting to the Death
One of the most difficult things that I have ever done in my life was to shoot an opossum. It was staggering around in our yard during the daytime, drooling. I only had a .22, and it took several shots to before the animal died. I remember shooting it once or twice, and it hissing […]

Soda Tabs for Dialysis
My great-uncle Andy, before he died, went a couple times a week for kidney dialysis. I remember growing up, we’d all collect our soda tabs, because they could be used to buy time on the dialysis, and somehow alleviate the costs. A good friend of mine is in the hospital right now with shot kidneys, […]

It’s Official… I’m Reformed
Found this on the Interweb. It’s a survey you can take to figure out where you stand in terms of Christian denominational preference. I’m not too surprised with my results. Presbyterian/Reformed (100%) Anglican/Episcopal/Church of England (73%) Eastern Orthodox (73%) Congregational/United Church of Christ (71%) Lutheran (70%) Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic) (61%) Roman Catholic (59%) Church of Christ/Campbellite […]
