Before getting further into various scientific aspects of quantum physical phenomena, I think I should make sure that we don't lose sight of the philosophical issues. The...
I made a quick trip to Cox's, the local grocery store, late this afternoon (Friday) and found myself there with about half the population of Smalltown, USA (Alexandria,...
January continues to show why it belongs into the winter months. Once again our temperatures here in Indiana are below 0°F. Nick and Meghan's plumbing issues have finally...
I intended for this to be another "two-for" entry, finishing my observations on hypocrisy and going on with the mysterious world of quantum mechanics. After spending much of...
Wow! More snow! Enough to keep me at home last night (Saturday) rather than playing music at Cowboy Church. I assume it was cancelled, though I didn't get any official...
Nick and Meghan got word yesterday that their sewage system was not yet totally fixed, but that it was possible for them to move back into their house. Alas, it was only a...
Since I don't want the discussion of Luke to go on ice at the expense of resuming the remarks on science and philosophy, I'm going to try to lead off Luke. The science...
A quick preview: A couple of years ago I rather abruptly dropped the series on Christianity and what are now hardly "new" developments in physics, namely the theories of...
One more item from the metereological department, and then, hopefully, things will get steady enough for us to be able to ignore it for a while. Today the temeratures are going...
This blog is not necessarily intended to provide up-to-the-moment weather reports, but the weather is definitely front and center of our attention. The local evening...
In the small "In the Background" box, you see football play-offs as well as Betty Swinson's name. I was listening to one of her CD's earlier. Betty is an inductee in the...
Does anyone else have trouble keeping track of the days of the week? With Christmas and New Year's falling on Wednesdays this year, each of the subsequent Thursdays has...
It's definitely cold and getting colder. We could pretend that the nice thing about the cold is that the colder it gets, the more likely it becomes that it will be warmer...
If you like snow globes, this is the perfect day for you here in North-Central Indiana. As I look outside the window, I see the little white flakes performing their lilting...
Wishing everyone a happy and blessed new year! Of course, what date on the calendar constitutes the beginning of the new year is arbitrary. Many cultures associate it with the...
Oh, how our minds love to establish memories, creating patterns where there were none! For example, this is what I wrote initially, before I realized that I was creating more of...
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...

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...
