Rebuilding old junk

This past weekend was Acquire the Fire, and it was one of the best I've been to. I'm working on getting some of our video and photos together, the biggest problem is that one of the students can't be in anything we put online, so I have to do some editing before I can add any of the stuff the student appears in. I can, however, add my personal notes on the event. Friday night Ron Luce spoke. This is the first time I've heard him speak. He related our relationship to God to an experience he had with his son rebuilding an old wreck. The car was in really bad shape, barely a frame to speak … [Read more...]

My Selfish Prayer

Yesterday was Star Wars day, today is the national day of prayer, I imaging that it is only a matter of time before the tow days coincide, which will be really cool. Anyways, I want to talk about prayer for a bit. My kids learned to pray pretty early. They fight over who gets to pray over the meal, so we have a schedule and it is very important to keep teh schedule. Even the 2 year old has his turn. His prayer is something like "Tay u Jus, Fud, MAN!!!!" If you don't speak 2 year old this translates to "Thank you Jesus for this food. Amen." I learned to pray when I was very young too. … [Read more...]

Happy Star Wars Day

Today is May 4th, hence "May the fourth be with you" aka "Star Wars Day." Now I wouldn't be a geek without bringing some attention to this, but I want to draw a clear distinction here. I have watched all the Star Wars movies, I enjoyed them, even the ones with Jar Jar Binks. I have memorized many lines, but I'm not super sold that it is the all to end all of SciFi. I have read a few dozen of the books, I'm an avid reader so I was bound to read several. Most are short enough I can knock out a couple a day even on my current schedule. Some of the books are great, some are terrible. I've also … [Read more...]

I Owe You an Apology: Creation of Live V. Spontaneous Generation

In the last part of the "I Owe You an Apology" series, The Creator Revealed, I followed a series of logical arguments to demonstrate that the Creator must be One and must have several characteristics ascribed to the God of the Bible. Before that I allowed Science and Logic to show that the Universe must have been created by a specific type of being. Today I want to focus on the Origin of Life. Of course this whole discussion is a bit of a moot point given the evidence for a Creator, but it is interesting to note the blind faith of atheistic scientists in excluding the possibility of a … [Read more...]

In the time from the Crucifixion to the day of Pentecost there were a great many changes in the followers of Christ. In this sermon I read from 1 Corinthians 15 and follow 3 key changes in life that brought the early church out of fear and into a bold proclamation of the Gospel, including changes in Paul’s life after Christ ascended. Find out why you must know Christ, be given Grace, and receive the Holy Spirit for this change to be worked in your life.

Today’s Post is Brought to You by the Letter M

A few weeks ago I started having problems with my keyboard. It was intermittent, and not really a big deal. Mostly the right arrow key would randomly not work. Then it started getting less intermittent and more mittent? We'll go with permanent since spell check seems to think mittent isn't a word. I can live without the right arrow key, but then the letter "m" started acting up. Since my spelling is problematic I didn't notice for a while, but it got pretty bad so that I had to really mash the "m" key. I tried taking the keyboard apart and cleaning the key and that helped for a bit, but … [Read more...]

I Owe You an Apology: The Creator Revealed

In the previous post in the I Owe You an Apology Series, Creation is a Fact, I used logic and reason to show that the Universe must have been created, and also pointed out 4 important facts about God that are revealed in the logic that leads to the Creation Fact. God must be eternal God must be immutable God must be omnipotent God must be capable of decision With this small bit of information revealed I closed the post with this statement: There are many other truths we can infer about God from these simple truths, but at this point I think it is enough to have provided a … [Read more...]

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men: Remodeling

I had a pretty active weekend, in addition to the Easter plans and Angel Food distribution, I also helped prep my parents kitchen for new counter tops. They ordered the counter tops a couple of weeks ago, and later that same week someone came out to take the final measurements and make a template. They scheduled for the new counter to be installed today, so we had to work hard all weekend to get things ready. Monday we pulled the old counter and sink, expecting a new one to be in place by dinner Monday. The installers didn't come at the earliest part of their time span, which is fine … [Read more...]
