Language Lessons
I am not sure whether to laugh or cry at this news.  Apparently, some not so bright people in the south are starting to use the word Canadians to refer to black people.  What am I supposed to do now.  I live near Canada these days, but I am originally from the south.  Are [...]

I am working on a paper for one of my classes at Liberty and it got me to thinking.  What is it about us that makes us feel as if we need to defend God and His nature.  When the Bible clearly says over and over again that we are not able to understand God’s [...]

Leaky Pipes

Well, the -55 wind chill or the -30 air temp managed to freeze up the pipes to the remodeled bathroom upstairs.  I was greeted this morning with a fun plumbing adventure as I first shut off the water and then tried to determine if it was just the hot or the cold or both that [...]

Circular Reasoning
Maybe it is because of this Philosophy class, but I find myself more than a little annoyed when someone argues in a circle.  You know what I mean.  For instance, I have decided that I like Ron Paul in the Republican Presidential primary.  Actually, it’s a caucus here, which I have never done before [...]

More School News

I finally did it.  I applied for seminary with Liberty’s DLP program.  I am planning on starting during the summer.  Actually, I am pretty excited about it.  It’s funny, but the more writing I do, the more I am beginning to enjoy doing it (which will be a good thing).  Of course, it helps that [...]

I like to read a lot.  I am looking forward to getting a chance to read Vox Day’s new book, The Irrational Atheist.  But today, as I was reading his blog I saw a post that detailed arguments from a reader centered partially around Carl Sagan’s quote, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”  Vox did a [...]

School

There are plenty of things that I don’t necessarily like about school.  I get restless sometimes during lectures when the professor keeps saying stuff that I already understand or keeps repeating stuff that I already got.  I don’t like busywork, although to be fair the classes I take through the DLP program at Liberty aren’t [...]

Notes from the Freezer : )

I have been meaning to post a couple of times now, but things always seem to come up.  We are doing well.  The kids haven’t been able to play outside lately because the temperature and/or wind chill has been below zero for most of the last week or so.  Right now as I am writing it is actually [...]

Forward Momentum

Well, we are plugging right along in the new year.  I am starting to find a groove as a pastor.  I feel like I am beginning to understand better how to minister as a senior pastor instead of as the “youth guy”.  Last night, I was invited to speak and sing at a weekly youth [...]

The real danger of Joel Osteen
I was reading another blog.  One that I get to about once or twice a month called the Internet Monk.  I first found him a few years back before we moved from Arkansas to South Dakota.  I could relate to some of the questions he raised back then about the [...]
