27 May 2008I enjoy technology. It’s cool that I’m sitting in my bed writing this article, using Wi-Fi, writing Facebook messages across the world, listening to Pandora Internet radio, and unencumbered by the darkness because I’m using the backlit keyboard on my MacBook Pro laptop. Getting into my car is also more enjoyable after starting it remotely, [...]
Friday night I was going through iTunes and looking for podcasts. I signed up for one by Ravi Zacharias and then I noticed some of the other podcasts for which people with similar interests had signed up. Since many people were saying positive things about the sermons of Mark Driscoll at Mars Hill Church in [...]

26 May 2008Tonight Mom, Dad, and I went to the movie The Bucket List. I have to agree with my dad’s assessment that this was the most I have enjoyed myself at a movie in long, long time. It was great to hear Mom and Dad laugh throughout the film. And then, before you knew it, Mom [...]

21 May 2008I have to thank my brother Paul for letting me know about this. His pastor Greg Boyd has been writing in his blog about the violence of the Old Testament and how we reconcile it with the teachings of Jesus and the nature of God. I must admit this is a topic I have briefly [...]

When confronted with the fact that lowering the capital gains tax rate has actually brought in more revenue, he comes back by saying it’s not about money but fairness. Not about money? Why then have a budget? Call me simple minded, [...]

19 May 2008I’m remembering back to one of my Bible classes when Dr. Lamp talked about the Trinity. While I cannot recall the context of the statement, his words struck me because they expressed an idea much different than anything I had heard before. He was describing the unity and intimacy between the three members of the [...]

12 May 2008Yesterday was a nice Mother’s Day and I’m glad I was home to share it rather than having to communicate through Skype. We went to church in the morning and Paul and Leah attended as well and had the chance to see people and give out hugs. Afterwards we went to Mom’s favorite restaurant in [...]

10 May 2008I made an update so that you can now read my blog on an Internet enabled cell phone. It should automatically detect your phone and send you to the better formatted and less graphically intense page. I just tried it with my Treo 755 and it works great. All the text and photos are present [...]

10 May 2008Among the many things I realized while away in Argentina is that I need friends. Not only am I lonely without them, but being with them makes me better. A challenge has been that just about all my friends live far away. Almost all of them are unknown to each other and my family. This [...]

9 May 2008Mom called our family friend Patricia Martin on Sunday. They talked for a long time and Patricia was extremely kind and offered to help me with whatever she could to make my trip to Missoula as easy as possible. She even offered to let me stay at her place, but was worried I would be [...]
