Spring Breeze
I’m sure I’m going to embarrass myself in this post, but here it goes. On my last trip to Tokyo, I was coming through Shimbashi station when I ran into a group of people getting ready to play some instruments, so I stopped to listen. The lead instrument looked like a recorder, and there was […]

Baseball Players Ain’t All Bad
While Rafael Palmeiro is lying to the Senate and ruining whatever respect baseball players have left, the Cincinnati Reds offered a bit of an antidote, and raised my opinion of professional athletes substantially. A young boy was taken to a Reds baseball game by his grandfather, during which, the grandfather collapsed of a heart-attack. Recognizing […]

First Meeting
Last nights meeting was a bit anticlimactic. After everything leading up to this point, the meeting lasted about a half-hour, with the crux being that Sarah and I pleaded not guilty to all four counts. We also made a number of requests of the prosecutor, based on the information listed in the indictment, including a […]

The Art of Pettiness
On the eve of our inquisition, I found an article on Credenda Agenda by Doug Jones entitled, “The Art of Pettiness“. Sometimes, when I cry out to God about how unfair my life is, my complaint is that I can’t write this well. I encourage you to read the whole thing so you can sharpen […]

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! […]

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 […]

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 […]
