Mashed together posting.

Monday, September 29th, 2008

I have too many things running through my head right now to put together a coherant post on each, so I’ll just throw out a few things here. —— First, in further response to my previous post, Consuming God, a few questions have come up in my head, and my wife Becky’s head, I’d like [...]

Bailouts and such.

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

700,000,000,000 Dollars. I always get tripped up with the last set of 0′s, I seem to want to stop at Seven-Hundred Million. By the way, does anyone think it’s easier to type out “Seven Hundred Billion” than it is to type out “700,000,000,000″? Maybe I’ll go the slacktivist route and type 7 x 10^11, but [...]

Consuming God

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

I haven’t really attended a church service up until recently. I went to two in one day… on purpose. I even enjoyed one, it was crazy. But it got me started thinking about Church services in general, and why we partake of them. I grew up in a somewhat Fundamentalist church (I viewed it as [...]

My Thoughts on Palin

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Now that we’ve had (just under) three weeks to get to know Governor Palin, I think it’s time I posted some of my thoughts on the whole thing. I’ll start by saying that I was quite shocked when the Governor was announced, and was somewhat convinced that the whole thing was a joke. I assumed [...]

The Parable of the Fish and the Fishermen

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Disclaimer: I am neither a writer, nor Jesus, thus the following parable is of shoddy craftsmanship, and barely sufficient to convey my point. There was a rich man who had three sons. He decided that it was time his sons left his household to make their way into the world. Growing up rich, these sons [...]

The Wall

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Sometimes, it’s just so big. You look up, and it never seems to end in that direction, you look to your right, and see it fade in the distance, to your left the same depressing scene plays out. That wall, however, is stopping you from reaching your goal. That wall must come down. And with [...]

Live Blog: McCain’s speech

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

This’ll be my fist live blog, so I don’t know how well it’s going to go over (and the fact that it’ll go late and I will be up at five in the morning), but we’ll give it a shot and see how it turns out. I think I’ll do a test run during the [...]

Open Question

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Had a debate with my parents tonight about the question of Sex Education in schools, wanted to throw it up here and see what comes of it. I know I don’t have a ton of readers to make this anywhere near exciting, but we’ll try it out anyways. So here’s the question: Should public school [...]

Perfection

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

The idea of perfection has been something that has bothered me for the past few weeks. It started about three weeks ago when I heard Limbaugh (yeah, I listen to conservative talk radio) bashing Obama for admitting that the US isn’t perfect. Gasp, oh no, we might let the world in on a secret that [...]
