Last night was a memorial service for a dear friend… no. I take that back, it wasn’t a “memorial service”, it was a celebration of the breakthrough of God’s Kingdom. Allow me to explain. Thunder grow up in some of the worse conditions in the world. Think of the worse possible thing that could happen to a [...] A team of international doctors and hospitals are starting a research project to study what happens after a person dies…. and comes back to life. Sorry, no “holy-rollers” here – just a bunch of folks with cardiac arrest, which means that your heart, lungs and brain have all stopped working. This of course, begs the [...] Art + Math = uh? That’s my reaction. (engineers and math majors can now stop reading) It seems that bunch of Docker wear, tennis shoe clad mathematicians, with way too much time on their hands, decided to create “precise visual representations” of mathematical theories. Seeing that “precise visual representations” was too long for the general [...] Paraguay is at the top of the South America qualifying campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. In fact, they are four (4) points ahead of their competitors – Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. This is a HUGE deal for Paraguay!! Not only because football (soccer, for those Americans reading this) is a [...] One of the most inspiring testimonies of all time is that of Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna. He lived from approximately 69 to 155 AD and was a disciple of the Apostle John. Here is his story: Now, as Polycarp was entering into the stadium, there came to him a voice from heaven, saying, Be strong, [...] We had a place that we could call home,And a life no one could touch… We are the angry and the desperate,The hungry, and the cold,We are the ones who kept quiet,And always did what we were told…. But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,In the safety of your home…. -Prayer of the Refugee by Rise [...] Imagine spending $1.2 million on a movie only to make $30.00. Yes – Thirty USA Dollars. Oh – did I mention that the director refunded $10 so the makeup artist? Meaning, they really only "made" $20. The movie I'm refereeing to was an independent tiller named Zyzzyx Road (2006). The film opened in a Dallas, Texas [...] Your undertaker will be the last person on earth to take care of you. It is human nature to want your body taken care of after you're gone… There are several ways to make that happen: wills, contracts, making friends with the local grave keeper… However, all of these ways seem a bit elementary. I [...] The Swiss army (yes, the Switzerland does have a military… kinda…ok, it is actually a cross between a militia and a regular army. Happy now?). Where was I? Oh.. yes.. now I know. The Swiss army decided in February to open up the bidding for the army’s new pocket knives to international companies. Seven manufactures [...] Saturday was the first day of my telecommuting career. Yelp – I am now working Tuesday through Saturday with Sunday and Monday off. It was a bit strange at first – working from home. But I liked it. Telecommuting is peaceful, saves money, more productive (in some cases) and where else can you [...] |
