Mixed Results

August 30th, 2004 · Comments Off · Who Knows

My life is full of mixed results right now. Mixed hopes, and worse for wear faith, are present as well. The thing that concerns me most is the “hands hanging down” mode.
I will probably lighten up on the philosophical delving, as that tends to feed a generally depressed disposition. I have a basic intuitive [...]

What’s A Woman To Do?

August 29th, 2004 · Comments Off · Cogitations

When the pain gets bad enough we all start looking for something to relieve it. Something to cure us, preferably.

And what I am finding out is that building the things that work into your life is what engines the reality of this thing.

Nitty Gritty Reading: Philosophy Terms Helpful

August 28th, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian, Contemporaries

I have spent the better part of my Saturday reading blogs and writing long comments in one certain blog…. in between deleting spammers.
If you feel like probing questions of good and evil, God, and Christian thought, go spend some time on Prosblogion. This is another site of Parableman’s. He is kind of addictive… like a [...]

Rusty Hit the Nail On The Head

August 28th, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian, Contemporaries

New Covenant has a thoughtful, well-written essay on “Can Religion Tell Us Anything Important?”
To which I would add the comment that the reason all this works is because God is a Personal God. Existance is not simply an impersonal machine process. Your tools have meaning because you give them meaning… this universe has meaning, and [...]

Dilbert Lives!

August 26th, 2004 · Comments Off · Contemporaries, Conviviality

Part of a hilarious entry by Design By Fire. You do want to read this. Why did I like it? It reminded me of conversations between two of my sons..
Dealing with engineers
?No.?
?What??
?I said no.?
?Why? Why can?t we do that??
?It won?t work.?
?Why won?t it work??
?It?s complicated. There?s a lot of technical details.?
?I?ve got time.?
?I don?t. I?m [...]

The House of Cards

August 24th, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian

We have come to the place where…like Alice, in the denouement of her adventures, waves it all away “You’re nothing but a pack of cards!”. Let’s deconstruct the house built of cards. This is always the fun part.
It starts like this: The statement that ‘God is limited’ is patently false.
And after I spent all [...]

Justin Time…and under the wire

August 23rd, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian

I would comment in the comments box, if it weren’t for some important points to address. I think I will asterisk those.
Justin continued to clarify and within there are a few of the points of contention that those who reject the YHWH of the Bible have expressed. Plus some other things.
Follow me if you [...]

Just a Reminder

August 22nd, 2004 · Comments Off · Cogitations

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

True Confessions

August 22nd, 2004 · Comments Off · Who Knows

(It’s that time again….)
Every once in a while I think about stuff and then put something or another online in a sort of true confessional sort of way. And sometimes that morphs along into free thoughts and associative stuff.
I don’t know yet what this will be. We will all be surprised.
But anyway, I was thinking [...]
