Under Construction — Once More, With Feeling

Tonight I am going to be doing some work switching the theme of this blog. I wants me a 3-column theme, and I’m going to get it.
I’m thinking that I’m going to go with Atahualpa because it is supposed to have a crazy level of design customization. However, the only way to play with the [...]

Sola Scriptura, Watchmen & Deification, TEDS

Sola Scriptura
C. Michael Patton at Parchment and Pen just finished an excellent series, “In Defense of Sola Scriptura” (PDF version available here). It’s a ten-part series, and the PDF comes to 31 pages, but don’t let the length intimidate you; it has lots of pictures and charts for us dumb people. I think Patton does [...]

Because you will laugh

In case you have not yet had the chance to visit the blog of my lovely and talented friend Katie Langston, I would like to recommend this post by her: “Confessions of a Licked Cupcake: Episode #1 – The Twinkie Smear.” It contains a hilarious podcast between Katie and her sister Jenny making fun of [...]

Modesty Revisited

I’ve made it pretty clear, on this blog and elsewhere, that I have no problem with tank tops and other shoulder-baring attire. You can even see on my “About” page that I’m wearing a sleeveless shirt, one with flaps around the shoulder which drape off of it. Recently I got involved in a discussion over [...]

Bitey

Meet our newest member of the family, Bitey.
Bitey is a betta fish. I got him because our two-year-old daughter Harley just adores animals and I figured it was time for her to have a pet. Betta fish are great because they don’t need an aquarium or a filter and are extremely easy to care [...]

3rd Sunday — Husband attends LDS church alone, I attend evangelical church w/ daughter
4th Sunday — Whole family attends LDS [...]

Accepted

I must not be as much of an evangelical heretic as certain anti-Mormon losers say I am, because I just got accepted to Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
SUCKAS!
In case you’re not keeping track, I’m looking to do an MA in the History of Christianity in America. Making sure it can happen financially is still in the [...]

“Please Don’t Leave Me” by P!nk

I just saw the video for “Please Don’t Leave Me” by P!nk. It cracked me up. This is how music videos should be done.
Plus the references to Misery, Cujo, It and The Shining will please Stephen King fans.
As I was watching it, I couldn’t help but muse on the fact that a male singer could [...]

What I am working on

Still working on re-mapping the site, which is tedious and boring.
Have RL stuff keeping me busy.
Had some really good discussions over at fMh recently, see the first comment below for links to them if you want to read up on them.
Working on a post on Hell, but this is a big topic for a lot [...]

Unhappy Anniversary

On May 2, 1998, Rachel Joy Scott recorded in her journal:
This will be my last year Lord. I have gotten what I can. Thank you.
On Tuesday, April 20, 1999, twelve students and one teacher were murdered at Columbine High School by fellow students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who later took their own lives. 17-year-old [...]
