Friday, August 15th, 2008Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds…—James 1:2
A week ago tonight my son was running through the house, even though we’ve told him repeatedly not to run in the house. I was in the kitchen, and suddenly heard running footsteps, then a big BAM, loud screaming and crying. I [...]
One of a Hundred - page 106 - Things Get Twisted
Thursday, August 14th, 2008So, we meet again. The same tired old Thursday; the same tired old comic. But wait! This is a new page! You can read the whole series, as well as see a larger version of the current page by clicking on the picture below.
One of a Hundred follows the story of Jim Hatlen, an atheist [...]
Give it a Rest, O’Brien
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008I just read this morning that Richard O’Brien is dragging out the tired, abused carcass of Rocky Horror yet again.
I don’t mean the same way he’s always done it: by having another anniversary or convention or party or some such in which he dons the makeup and yellowed, battered prosthetic back-hump.
No, this time he’s planning [...]
What do You Trust in a Failing Economy?
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
But we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall,
But we rise up and stand firm. — Psalm 20:7-9
Americans put their trust in pretty un-secure things, especially now. Some of us put trust in our job; others rely on WIC [...]
Artists Who Passed Away Far too Young and Doubts in Myself
Monday, August 11th, 2008I guess I’m also happy now because art no longer defines me. When you’re defined by something, so much more is expected because of it. I am far more than one aspect of me, especially to my wife and sons. God indeed created each one of us with specific gifts, but He also saw to it that we had the ability to be something else in addition.
Just a Couple of Music Videos for Friday
Friday, August 8th, 2008Today I’m just going to post a few videos. Some are songs I’ve had stuck in my head the last few days. Others are just ones that invoke certain thoughts and emotions in me.
This first one is “American Dream” by Casting Crowns. This song reminds me what is far more important than anything this world has to [...]
One of a Hundred - page 105 - Feeling All Mopey
Thursday, August 7th, 2008It’s a comic on Thursday. Hopefully by now you know that it’s not a comic about Thursday. Enjoy anyway! You can read the whole series, as well as see a larger version of the current page by clicking on the picture below.
One of a Hundred follows the story of Jim Hatlen, an atheist who loses [...]
A Christian Life: Living Open
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Another thing mentioned in the sermon was that even though there are consequences to living open, to be vulnerable, there are also great rewards. The person who boards themselves up at home, and never acknowledges someone else, never has a friend. They never have someone to help them in hard times. They go through everything alone.
Kids’ Meals Aren’t Good for Kids
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Are we as a nation just not getting it? Or do the experts think we’re a bunch of long-term memory deficient pets? Maybe the researchers just needed an excuse to spend more grant money. Whatever it is, just keep reminding yourself of these simple truths: The corporation that’s feeding me does not care about my health; they care about my money. This food, no matter how good it looks, is more than likely very very bad for me.
WALL-E: Another Must-See Pixar Hit
Monday, August 4th, 2008But the most touching aspects of WALL-E were his heart and his incredible yearning to not be alone, even though he was. It reminds me of Genesis 2:18: “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
