Month: July 2005

  • Didgeridoo and Tyler Too

    I’m a sucker for street performers. When Bob, Billy and I were down in Australia, we ran into two guys with two didgeridoos and a drum machine performing near Darling Harbour. The sound they produced was incredible, so I picked up a CD for $20 Aussie. The album was even better. Here’s samples of two […]

  • Mini Golf Video

    Following up on Sarah’s Mini-golf post, I’ve got some video online of our outing. It’s kinda big, and I’m not sure how much this is going to kill my webserver. That’s why this is a test.

  • Louisiana Presbytery on the Federal Vision

    After the premature decisions by Mississippi Valley and Central Carolina Presbyteries, Louisiana Presbytery has actually adopted a lucid position, and explicitly exonerated Rev. Steve Wilkins and declared him “faithful to the Confessional standards of the PCA”. You can read the entire adopted report over at The Parchment. UPDATE: William has also posted a response from […]

  • Diet Blog

    I’ve decided to lose some weight. My surgery last year has had wonderful results, so I have no more excuses for not getting back into shape. For those of you who didn’t know, my surgery was due to an cyst that I had that first got infected my senior year of high school during track […]

  • Blogging Personality

    Your Blogging Type is Pensive and Philosophical You blog like no one else is reading… You tend to use your blog to explore ideas – often in long winded prose. Easy going and flexible, you tend to befriend other bloggers easily. But if they disagree with once too much, you’ll pull them from your blogroll! […]

  • 1 Thessalonians 2:7

    misc/nursing 1 Thessalonians 2:7 “But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.” This metaphor has much meaning to me, as nursing Micah – almost constantly- is part of my daily life. For those of you who have never nursed a baby, it must be done […]

  • A Chick Hatches

    Whose idea was it to read A Chick Hatches?!?! Um, that would be mine. While Tom was gone, we would read it aloud every day to the nest on our porch. Eventually, the chick did hatch! A little Robin. He fell from his nest a little too soon, but learned to fly within a few […]

  • Indictment Served

    Jim Sauer and Dale Van Ness stopped by tonight to deliver the indictments and list of witnesses as required in BCO 32-3. The packet included the revised citation, rescheduling the July 25th meeting to August 1. Indictment: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5

  • Trial Postponed

    It looks as though the Session has sought the wisdom of the moderator of the Heritage Presbytery, and thankfully, he has concurred with the interpretation of BCO that I stated in an earlier post. The email I received today from the Clerk of Session cancelled the July 25th meeting, and tentatively rescheduled the meeting for […]

  • Would you pay for a dusty room?

    “If you were paying for a hotel room on vacation would you want to pay for a room with dust? We are turning our homes into our own personal vacation retreat. Your home should be your very favorite retreat!” – from Kelly’s Flylady Mission

  • Mini Golf

    This past weekend, we took the children to Boulder Falls Miniature Golf at the United Sports Training Center in Downingtown. They had never been miniature golfing (though Tom has taken Thomas golfing with him – Thomas even has his own kid-size club). There is only one course at Boulder Falls, and it’s not decked out […]

  • Full Hard Drive?

    misc/jdiskreportI hate it when my hard drive starts to fill up. Usually, there is just a bunch of junk laying around all over the place, and most if it is useless, but it’s hard to figure out what’s taking up the most space. I found a piece of software via Digg called JDiskReport that will […]

  • Kindling Strife

    “Where there is no wood, the fire goes out and where there is no talebearer, strife ceases. As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife. The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, and they go down into the inmost body. ” (Proverbs 26:20-22)

  • Vague Generalities

    In my last post, I quoted from Dr. Morton Smith’s commentaries on the Book of Church Order. Sarah was reading through other areas of the commentary, and found this interesting section, commenting on BCO 32-5, which states “In drawing the indictment, the times, places and circumstances should, if possible, be particularly stated, that the accused […]

  • Charges Filed

    Heck of a way to start a vacation. Jim Sauer came by yesterday afternoon with a letter summoning me and Sarah to appear before the Session to “hear charges brought against” us. They managed to get this done just under the wire, as they were about a week and a half short of the one-year […]
