Walking in Christ
What is your philosophy of life, and what does it say about you? I found a collection of quotes about life; here’s a small sample – Erma Bombeck: “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could [...]

I could call this the “Day After Trying to Recover From What Might Have Been a Minor Flu Edition,” but I won’t. Christmas Season and Flu Season accompany each other every year, like Hansel and Gretel, or Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. I had just enough aches and pains to baby myself to prevent a flu… heck, [...]

Image by Loci Lenar via Flickr I’ve discovered the secret to time travel, and have successfully traveled into the future. I’m still doing it – at the rate of 1 second per second. I can’t seem to go any faster or slower. It amazes me that Thanksgiving has been over for more than a week, [...]

Finally, a financial strategy that makes sense. FOUR extra ravens are being drafted into the Tower of London because of the financial crisis — to prevent a 350-year-old curse coming true. My suspicion, though I’m unable to confirm it, is that in order to reduce labor costs, either fewer ravens were used or an inferior [...]

I stared writing about “Joe the Plumber” yesterday based on a story at the New York Post. Little did I know how huge the story was about to become. John McCain launched Joe the Plumber into the national spotlight during last night’s debate. My post was going to be about how Obama’s strategy results in [...]

Image via Wikipedia It’s National Bailout Day, seeing as how our illustrious US Congress has allocated $700 billion for Wall Street bankers. As Christians, I think we probably could put $700 billion to better use, don’t you? But I got to thinking that our lives are not ours, we have been purchased at a cost. [...]

Image via Wikipedia We survived; we’re thankful. Not only that, we’re well, we have a nice cool front to bring the temperatures down, and it’s a full moon to illuminate our evenings. All these things we give praise and thanks to God. Last Friday we tried several places to buy a propane refill tank to [...]
