Friday, January 2nd, 2009For the second day of 2009, I want to share a little bit of state of Nebraska, where I proudly call home. Not a lot right now (almost forgot to post today), but I plan on bragging up this state something fierce some other time.
First off, the first Lincoln baby of the year! The first [...]
Do Color Dreams Always Lead to the Wisdom Tree? Unlicensed Videogames and Morality
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Yesterday, when I had it in my head to write about Wisdom Tree Games, I just wanted to blast them. They sort of have a reputation for really hard games that don’t seem to be finished. They are also known for making unlicensed games for the NES and the ONLY unlicensed game for the Super [...]
‘Twas the Very First Christmas: The Night Before Christmas Parody
Thursday, December 25th, 2008This is a poem, or parody, I wrote for Christmas. It should, if I did it correctly, mimic the style and pace of the Christmas classic “The Night before Christmas.” Marc was good enough to do some wonderful illustrations to accompany it (I’m pretty proud of them). We hope you enjoy it.
‘Twas the very first Christmas,
When they wished to sleep in a house.
But, they stayed in a stable,
full of livestock and a mouse.
How to Read the Bible Every Day
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008For a lot of my life, I told myself I didn’t have time to read the Bible. I occasionally cracked it open. But then a week, or month would go by until I touched it again. I did pray, though not as much as now. My prayers were shallow. I didn’t understand Who I was [...]
Was Job’s Wife Just Another Shrieking Harpy or Something More?
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Last night at my men’s Bible study, we studied the book of Job, talked about our observations, and asked questions.
Job’s unnamed wife, who only appears briefly, comes across as just another bane to her husband.
His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
He replied, “You are talking [...]
Why Do You Want Me to Sign Up on Classmates.com and Reunion.com?
Friday, October 3rd, 2008This post may or may not have any real deep information, but I just want to rant.
A month or so ago, I got two different emails saying that two different people wanted to get a hold of me on Reunion.com. Many people would probably jump at the chance to reunite with someone and thus create [...]
Let’s Get the Kids Hep to Christ!
Monday, September 15th, 2008Alright. Yeah.
Web Links – Another Cop-out Post for Monday
Monday, August 25th, 2008Today, I really can’t think of anything to write about. I’ve got a few small ideas, but nothing more than a few sentences in each. So, I’m just going to give you some of the web places I go to often and sites of interest, not counting the free games sites I already did a [...]
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 [...]
Christian Music: Where Can I Find a Place to Rock?
Friday, August 1st, 2008When you think of Christian music, what do you think of?
Do you imagine some guy with glazed-over eyes playing an acoustic guitar while his equally glazed-over wife stands nearby with a tambourine? Are they both smiling with perfect white teeth? Are they singing something along the lines of Kumbaya?
Or do you think of the songs [...]
