Daddy, where do they put the lashes? Where do they put what? The lashes. Sarah's lashes. Where do they put them? You mean the ashes? Sarah's ashes? Yeah. The ashes. How do they get them and where do they put them? Well, after they put Sarah to sleep, they put her body with the bodies of other d...

Somewhere around fifteen years ago, I picked up a bouncy, clumsy little puppy with her tail all a wag, carried her out of an animal shelter and into my home, and named her Sarah. The life ahead of her was to be a good and long life for a dog, and she has deserved every game of fetch, every pat on th...

Well I haven't been able to get myself in the mood to blog over the past few months. Life is busy and there's a lot going on, but a lot of the reason is wrapped up in the following… Some time back I posted a series of thoughts on the Weak and the Strong, from Romans 14. I'm not sure how much good...

In the long run, no one can show another the error that is within him, unless the other is convinced that his critic first sees and loves the good that is within him. So while we are perfectly willing to tell our adversary he is wrong, we will never be able to do so effectively until we can ourselve...

Geez I almost forgot. To my friends, to my family, to all those with whom I am acquainted, to those I am yet to be, and to those I will never be: This year, may God richly bless our lives, our homes, our nations and our world. May we all come closer to God, and become more practiced in loving one...

With due respect to my post immediately preceding this one: My seminar paper for this past semester was a brief study of a small part of James Paul Gee's Discourse theory, applied to an online debate concerning a particular Christian doctrine.

One of the things, perhaps the only thing, I find difficult about being in school is the requirement to write in analytical terms. To be brutally honest, I don't personally gain much of anything by doing so. I don't mind reading analytical work that other people put on paper and certainly I learn a ...

choose life, and the things that favor life. This means respect for every living thing, but especially for every man, made in the image of God. Respect for man even in his blindness and in his confusion, even when he may do evil. For we must see that the meaning of man has been totally changed by th...

An extract from my annual holiday letter to family and friends… While I type this letter, I am reminded that the Christmas season brings with it imagery of love's simplicity, of humility, and of peace on Earth.
