Adventures in public transportation, part two

10/10/2007 – 8:00 am

Monday afternoon, I walked out of my building and took my first tentative steps toward the world of public transportation.

I always get a little spooked when somebody says that after they read the rabbis, they understood the New Testament better. You can mean that in a good way or a bad way; after you’ve had a lot of the bad way, I think being a little gun-shy is understandable.

Adventures in public transportation, part one

10/9/2007 – 11:23 am

The problem:

We moved in August to Highland, Illinois. Love it. Great town, great people. Nice house. Generally affordable. The downside? I work in Kirkwood, Missouri. 47.5 miles away, according to Google Maps.
At current gas prices, I pay about $240/month for the privilege of driving to and from work [...]

Dave takes on ignorant Diggers

10/8/2007 – 11:15 am

Also he points out that being a Christian doesn’t mean that you think that Tim LaHaye is any sort of theologian or spokesman for Evangelicalism. And he says something about substitutionary atonement.
We ought to do a [...]

Wow, tags. I have really jumped on the bandwagon late for that one. [...]
