Tuesday, November 15th, 2005I think I'm gonna read this passage a couple times for the next few days. This is what is coming. This is Jesus's (Saviour of the World) master plan. This is where He's going, and this is where he's taking us with him. I'm excited to follow Him there.
The Messiah's Final Goal:
And he carried me […]
Pat Robertson and Dover
Monday, November 14th, 2005In recent news, if you haven't heard, the city of Dover voted out of office 8 members of the board of education who were pushing for an introduction to Intelligent Design in public classrooms. This has caused quite the stir, and apparently, unfortunately, got the attention of Pat Robertson (of the 700 Club):
I'd like to […]
Disturbing DS/Abortion Research
Friday, November 11th, 2005A new report has surfaced detailing tests that can show whether an unborn baby has Down's Syndrome features as early as the first trimester. Comments at Al Mohler and Hugh Hewitt.
"These tests appear to be used only to select babies for abortion, including as many as 5 percent who may not even have Down's Syndrome. […]
A Father's Mandates
Thursday, November 10th, 2005We watched a video call "Growing Kids God's Way" probably 6-12 months ago, and Virgil took these notes from the video in my notebook. I meant to give them back to him, but I forgot and found them today. These are pretty much directly from the video, and the teacher, Gary Ezzo:
Cultivate a sense of […]
Plato on Fearing the Light
Wednesday, November 9th, 2005One can easily understand a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when grown men and women are afraid of the light.

Making Much of Me
Tuesday, November 8th, 2005Confession time! I was sitting there in my car listening to this CD. The song playing was "Much of You," and the song spoke about making "much" of Jesus. My mind drifted almost imperceptibly into how to make much of me. How quickly I find myself a traitor! Arg.
In reality, I certainly am not the […]
Female Rich Young Ruler, circa 1940s
Monday, November 7th, 2005A bit of background here is appropriate. Clarence Jordan founded Koinonia, an "experiment in communal Christian living." This was in the early 40s, so the money figures here you'll have to multiply by like 10 or something to make it similar to today, but hey.
Clarence Jordan speaking:
"We had this lady one time come and visit […]
Mean Mean Green, the Almighty Dollar
Friday, November 4th, 2005I Timothy says that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. My first response to that is, really? Can money really lead to all kinds of evil? So I decided to sit down and type out what kind of error the love of money could lead us into.
Covetousness, wanting what […]
The Father's Love for Jesus
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005This morning I read John 17, where Jesus prays for His disciples (including us). One thing jumped out at me. At the very end of the prayer, Jesus sums up everything by asking that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. Similar, though different from the opening […]
What Country Are You?
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005I took this quiz — kindof sad for me! You guys go ahead and take it for a spin, and put your code in the comments!!
You're the United Kingdom!
You're a much weaker person than you used to be, but you still act like you did when everyone looked up to you. Despite this, you're probably […]
