Pastor Rob preached a very good sermon. It wasn’t groundbreaking, in the sense that he brought out any novel interpretation of Scripture; however, it did clearly declare the conditions in which those who are in Christ are to give. It was really good. They’re all good but this one really stood out. [...]
Lacking my favorite literary-pretentious expositions of Doctor Who episodes since the end of Series Two, I have decided to try my hand. Thankfully, the US is only three weeks or so behind the UK this time around, although the Christmas special was nearly four months back.
“The Fundamentalists who say the most ignorant things about evolution are wrong on their side. And Dawkins and Myers and their ilk, who dare to call people of faith ’stupid’ (while their own atheism requires as much faith as any snake handling fundamentalist), revolt me.” Original, linked here, found here.
What a fun advertisement from (and for) the Discovery Channel!
Here are the lyrics (but it wouldn’t make much sense to read the lyrics without watching the video):
Two astronauts are in outer space looking directly at the earth. One of them speaks up.
“It never gets old, huh?”
“Nope.”
“It kinda makes you wanna . . [...]
Awesome superhero toy collection. My fave has always been Batman. Spidey comes in as a close second.
Kris Lundgaard is blogging chapter by chapter through The Little Prince. It has remained one of my favorite books ever since we first read it in French class. (For what it’s worth, I made a quick comment in his combox about my short-lived drawing “career,” too.)
By the way, I also want to plug [...]
I posted some of my first impressions after watching Expelled over at Triablogue.
Even if this never actually resulted in a bona-fide abortion, it’s still horrible. (This is a pretty sad/angry thing to read, so be warned.) (Update: wasn’t even true. Still a pretty horrible thing to deal with, though.)
The “problem of evil” has a lot of problems of its own. It’s a favorite of atheists and other people who argue against the God of Christianity, and it generally runs something like “if God is all good, and all powerful, then why is there suffering (or evil; or, why do bad things happen [...]
Tons of cool National Geographic photos for your desktop. Taken from Jan. ‘07 to now.
I neglected to mention the protest about the cancellation of Issues, Etc. which happened at work on Monday.
Rather than bore you all on an ongoing weekly basis with my progress on Atkins, I’ll just quietly (or not so quietly, if something surprising happens) update this permanent page on the site with my progress.
Modern parables is pretty cool! It’s a re-presentation of Christ’s parables via, well, modern cinema. (I know I got this from somewhere but I forget where I got it from. So, sorry, no hat-tip for you! I say in my best Soup Nazi voice.)
Christianity Today interviews Douglas Gresham about the upcoming Prince Caspian flick. Gresham’s verdict? “Prince Caspian started with a poorer story than Lion/Witch, but has worked out probably to be a better movie.”
HT: Justin Taylor.
Clearly there is at least one Lutheran with excellent taste.
I thank God and rejoice even for pain and hurt.
I don’t mean I rejoice in pain and hurt, because these might be great evils. But I mean that I rejoice within the midst of pain and hurt, because by his grace I know that God is in the midst with me like he was [...]
I saw this from Katie’s weblog:

Last week in weight loss wasn’t so great after getting below 200 and all the fanfare. But this week is looking up. All the weekly stats after the jump.
As if you were interested (I know a couple of you are, at least), I upgraded TOOT to WordPress 2.5. It’s nice, overall. The only major functionality I think I lost was Wavatars, and to be honest, while on a mostly guy-oriented site like Shamus Young’s you can get away with people having [...]
