Happy Boxing Day! or: Wishing that everyone will have had a great Christmas Day, experiencing the Lord's blessings as we remember his incarnation! Well, I didn't get...
The picture on the right is not intended to represent opposition to the TV show "Duck Dynasty," though I very much doubt that it will ever show up on our TV screen, but that the...
Is there currently a real pause in global warming? There are a lot of further questions connected to this one. Is there actual global warming? What causes it? To what...
Click on the bears for a slighly larger picture. Leading off the entry tonight is the one of the latest addition to June's collection of nativity scenes. We picked up...
Here we are at the end of what Seth called the "Thanksgiving Marathon." Each of us three couples (Nick & Meghan, Seth & Amber, June and your bloggist) in some...
Maintaining my resolve not to let this series be a polemic on the theological correctness of Calvinism or Arminianism, I shall continue with the problem of evil. In light of the...
Thanks to all those who have made comments on FB on this series, which I didn’t realize would become a series. The conversation is quickly turning to the topic of...
The pain to which I referred in the last two posts is a whole lot less, now that I've stopped taking the new medication Dr. B had me try. Obviously, that also means that I...
By way of clarification, I've put "hurting" into the last two State of Existence boxes. For some reason I have had excruciating "flank pain." It's not like the pain for which I...
I've been meaning to write an entry like this one for quite a while. In the process of answering someone's question recently I wound up writing out some of these thoughts and...
Here are a few brief miscellanious items since I'm not getting around to post more frequently. "1-5 1-5 1-5 1-5 / 4-1 4-1 4-1 4-1 / 5-2 5-2 5-2 5-2 / 1-5 1-5 1-5 1-5" If...
Winter has come early to Indiana this year. Temperatures are in the thirties; the ground is cold enough that the snow flurries we've had actually stick to the ground. As usual,...
Did I really say that Wilhelm Schmidt mastered all of the aboriginal languages of Australia in just a few months? I could play word games and say that I really didn’t say...
My first blog entry on the new computer. There is still much that I don’t know about this machine, but I’m beginning to find my way around. I shall reserve any further...
I'm kind of between computers at the moment. No I did not drop my old one; I haven't dropped a single computer in many years now. In fact, I'm using it at this very...
Let me just pick up where I left off last night--in the middle of the apologetics conference at Southern Evangelical Seminary. I gave my second presentation on Friday...
It's been a good two weeks, consisting of three phases: two apologetics conferences in Charlotte, NC; a week at my brother Ralph's in Columbia, SC, on the occasion of...
I finished putting primer on the garage today. Why no pictures? you ask. Because I was too pooped to go back out there with a camera when I was done. Maybe I'll insert one...
Tonight's blog entry is coming to you after a few challenging days, having had some medical tests and undergoing the preparation for them. Things went well, and all the...
Another perfect day for working on things outside here in Smalltown, USA. You can tell that you're not, say, on the East Coast just by looking at the vehicles on our street....
The third absolutely perfect day in a row. Okay, I know I'm being inconsistent. I have said many times that the word "absolute" is usually totally superfluous unless you're...
I’m not at a point at the moment where personal narrations and reflections come easily, so we shall immediately go to our passage. For that matter, these observations are...
What a beautiful day this has been! Dark blue sky, sunshine, the temperature just barely up to 70° F. A good day to work outside, so I basically finished the...
I promised you a huge announcement for tonight. Here it is: It's been four years in the making ... and not yet quite done. It is the product of several trips to Asia and many...
I guess if I have called other entries in periods of sporadic blogging "Chips from the Workshop" (borrowing from Max Müller), then this one might come under some heading like...
