  • Translations and Theological Statements

    TC and Mark Stevens have posted thoughts on the choices we make in translations. Translations leave me schizophrenic. I like them all. So, I’m a liberal, tongue-talking, dispensational, cessassionist, Calvinist, Arminian, conservative who believes in a more literal translation while desiring to see women in ministry. Go figure. If I had my “druthers” I would… Read more

  • God is Not a Republican

    Or a Democrat. No matter how hard we try to SAY that… we just stumble over it. We let our political views sneak through as believers. Listening to someone who wanted to pray for people in a legislative setting, the assessment of how “bad” the situation is during the session was based on tax increases.… Read more

  • New Discoveries in Blogdom

    I like “blogdom” better than “blogoshere.” Two new (to me) blogs from Pentecostal/Charistmatic persepectives: The Pentecostal Worker To Be Continued Read more

  • Getting It… and Not Getting It

    Here is the standard line delivered by Apple fans when defending the newest Apple product (insert whatever the newest product is here): “People just don’t get it.” (Meaning, PC people, or people who can’t afford Apple products, who happen to point out flaws in the newest product.) Here is a standard line delivered by political… Read more

  • Privacy — A Little Late for the Concern

    Issues over Facebook’s use of information, stolen laptops that have credit card info, stolen bank numbers that lead to fake debit cards… We wrestle with these issues of having too much information out there. The horses are out of the barn on this one, though. This article discusses the under-30 generation and their penchant for… Read more

  • 12,000

    Nothing big. I’m just grateful for those who look at this blog from time to time. Thank you. Read more

  • Quick Hits

    There are moments of refreshing. Times when you are thankful for God’s grace in that moment. There are moments when it is grace. You think, “Did someone take a break from bashing another person or organization? What got into them?” But it can happen. Kristof and the NY Times took a break from bashing the… Read more

  • 10,000

    Somewhere in the middle of the night, my blog finally reached 10,000 hits. Thanks to all who have taken the time to stop by regularly to see what is going on. Who knew that a post about cell phones and bathrooms could get THAT many hits? 🙂 Read more

  • Hard Work and Determination

    I am reading a book with my church staff about the “Me Generation.”  It is a study, with some very funny sharp opinions, about our current generation. There are some very admirable things about this current generation. One thing I was admittedly surprised about was they seem to have high goals. The downside is they… Read more

  • Well, THAT was fun…

    I have been “blogging” for a few years, but trying to do it more seriously about a year or so. It has been fascinating, since moving to WordPress, to see how certain articles gain certain hits. I just don’t get a lot of activity on my blog, but that’s nothing new. I expect to blog… Read more
