God bless the NCV folks for wanting to reach out to a new generation. But I just get this feeling that something is lost.

The EAA air show in Oshkosh in Wisconsin, that is. flyGarmin was going to be released to the public for the first time in conjunction with the beginning of the air show. Garmin had a Monday morning press conference announcing all sorts of stuff, and flyGarmin was on the list. I was pacing around the [...]

We’re considering a change in our church that would change our church government to an “elder-based” system. The Bible doesn’t say a whole lot about how to organize a local church, but it seem pretty plain that elders were the group saddled with leadership. We currently have a fairly common set-up where leadership authority and [...]

I sat with family at a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sat late at night reading to an aged, dying family member. She passed twelve hours later. I sat at the wedding of a couple from church. I hardly know what to say.

A friend recently asked me what I thought of J. P. Moreland. Unbelievably, I had little to say. :) I’ve come across Moreland’s arguments in various places, but I’d never heard or read anything directly from him.

We had a site up, but it was basically straight WordPress, which just didn’t work well for what we were looking for. Well, it’s still WordPress, but with a much more customized [...]

And all this gathered up in adoration is the greatest of human expressions of which [...]

No, not MLK… c’mon, have some respect. Here’s the audio of the famous “I Have a Dream” speech, given on August 28, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Now that I’ve started to become more familiar with Lincoln, the speech strikes me as very like Lincoln’s work. Not too long. Elegant language. Rich analogy. [...]
