    George F. Will

    I have some favorite columnists and George Will ranks up there. This speech is incredibly humorous, but also a great reminder of some past principles of our nation. more about “George F. Will“, posted with vodpod

    Cell Phone Etiquette

    I realize how foolish it is to put the words “cell phone” with “etiquette.” It’s like putting “Facebook” or “Twitter” with words like “RESTRAINT.” Yet, twice in the last several weeks I have had run-ins with cell phones in places I just can’t believe people would take them and actually USE them. Could I offer one word of advice? It…

    No More Rules on Style

    I wish I had studio pictures from the Olympic coverage in Vancouver. Maybe someone who has them could pass them along. What  am referring to is the NBC studio set where they sit in two chairs by the fire. It’s a lovely picture, except for whoever sits in the guest chair. This year there seems to be some unwritten rule…

    Finding New Blogs

    There are a couple of blogs I have not yet added to my blogroll, but enjoy reading. I will then follow some of their blogrolls, which led me to one by Michael J Gorman. This post on Theosis was a good one. I deeply admire the Eastern Orthodox tradition and this post answers some great questions.

    Experimenting with WordPress Appearances

    I have changed a few times because I start to like a look, then realize I can’t do some things with that look. The last look I had was something I liked, but I couldn’t find a way to get my Blogroll on it, and I like having my blogroll there. One reason I like having it displayed is when…

    New Book for Review Just Arrived

    It’s actually a new translation called “The Voice” from Thomas Nelson. They sent me a complimentary copy for review. I admit, seeing one of the contributors (not one of the translators) had me skeptical. But I took it to my son’s swim meet tonight and read through some passages. I am pleasantly surprised! I look forward to a deeper look…

    Stuck in an Elevator

    This was a first. My wife and I were visiting our youth pastor in the hospital who had just had her baby. On the way up, the elevator got stuck. The college I went to had the oldest elevators on the planet, I’m sure. But I never got stuck on those old beasts. It was an incredibly odd feeling. First…

    Heroes — and Post #500

    According to WordPress, this is my 500th post. The count is a bit off due to migrating from Blogger, but I’ll take it. I wanted to write about heroes for this post. (I actually contemplated a post!) On New Year’s Day I was watching some of the Rose Parade. I’d say I watched all of it, but the telecasts are…

    Christmas Eve and Weather Outside IS Frightful!

    We made the trek to my family in Kansas a day early (Tuesday as opposed to Wednesday) because we were leery of the travel conditions in Iowa. Now, on Christmas Eve, we were certainly glad we made the choice because weather is horrible every mile of the journey between our home and Kansas. Our hometown of Minneapolis is getting hammered…

    Paying attention to the world

    At one point in time I remember reading that living prophetically as a Christian is having a Bible in one hand and newspaper in the other. Well, both are readily available online, so maybe our hands are freed up to raise them to God in intercession. But we MUST pay attention to our world. There are things happening where we…
