The Echoing Green: Music Review

Me gusta.  Yelp that’s about it.

A friend introduced me to The Echoing Green a few months ago – however, I was unable to get my hands on an album until today. (well, technically I snatched the CD on Tuesday – but I didn’t get around to listening to it until today).

So, who [...]

Software Update: A Halloween Story

In reading my morning comics, I about died reading Vexxarr.  Seeing that this blog has it's fair share of geeks and nerds, I thought I would share the love.

Do Dogs Go to Heaven? A Church Sign Debate

Church signs are a great way to pass along information – or if your bold, to carry on a theological debate with the church across the street.

H-Cubed: A Halloween Oxy-moron

There is a strange beast hiding and lurking among the cube farms and houses of the world this week. It is a beast of the Triple-H.  What is this beast, you ask? Ah – that is the question.

To find the beast, we must first arm ourselves with the proper weapons. Mainly – the [...]

Funny things, stories are.

Granny Weatherwax of Dicsworld fame once said that you have to give people a “story”. It isn’t enough to tell them the “truth” as so – you have to give them a story that relates to their particular situation.

Do Not Pray For Easy Lives….

I found a new life quote.

It was one of those quotes that make you stop reading and start thinking. Hopefully it does the same to you.

“Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your [...]

Yesterday I had to pleasure of spending half an hour browsing the local Library – which can be a bad thing if your name is Ardell and [...]

No Sacrifice, But a Privilege

I have never really cared much for David Livingstone. To me, he always seemed “puffed” up and not really a “missionary”. I mean – what kind of missionary wonders around a continent like a guy who lost his keys?!

Answer: a smart one  (sorry – I had to try to crack a joke… ) [...]

Christian Security Forces in Northern Iraq

I was listening to NPR’s Foreign Dispatch Podcast today when I heard the most interesting story. It was about our brothers and sisters in northern Iraq, where the Gospel has been present for at least 1,600 years. Side note: The Apostle Thomas was most likely the guy who started the church in Assyria (modern day [...]

Holy Sepulchre Row

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem has been around for over 1,700 years with thousands of Christians visiting this church each year. The sad news is that the monks who run the place can’t agree on whose in charge of maintenance.

It’s gotten so bad that a wooden ladder has remained on [...]
