The Blood of the Martyrs
Monday, December 30th, 2002Three more missionaries shot dead and one critically injured, this time in Yemen. The Church has always grown out of the blood of martyrs. Could this be the beginning (the very beginning) of God’s work in bringing down Islam? These folks were working in a Southern Baptist hospital and were shot dead at the hospital. [...]
Worship
Tuesday, December 24th, 2002I’ve been thinking about worship lately. I have to organize my thoughts but three things stand out. First, worship should demand something from us, not give something to us. It should be work, spiritual work. Second, there is no explicit sacred liturgy set down in Scripture, though Church history has different models, they have some [...]
The Wounded
Monday, December 23rd, 2002Busy night at work! The store finished the day with somthing like $90k in sales, and that friends is a lot of organic food! The deli was pretty busy too. However, the night ended on a down note. One of my guys took a pretty good chunk off of his thumb cleaning the cheese slicer. [...]
Computer Updates
Monday, December 23rd, 2002Update update. I downloaded and installed the latest Chimera build and it does improve it. No faster but some features have been added like history. We’re getting there! Also, I started the OS X 10.2.3 update download and went to work. When I came home it said something went wrong. It also said to select [...]

Friday, December 20th, 2002I’m done, I’m done, I’m done. My family and I survived the first term of seminary! I finished my last final on Thursday and now I am free to do all the work I didn’t get to do while I had everything on hold for school! My exegetical paper for Greek Exegesis I came out [...]
Razor Attitude
Tuesday, December 17th, 2002Lookie here! Razormouth got a bit of a face lift! The website looks better but unfortunately the content is still the same old “we’re smarter than everyone else” routine. So why is it still in my list of links?
The Wicked Fairy at the manger
Wednesday, December 11th, 2002I just got a letter from the University president. He quoted a poem by U. A. Fanthorpe from Oxford University. Seemed worth passing along: THE WICKED FAIRY AT THE MANGERMy gift for the child: No wife, kids, home;No money sense. Unemployable.Friends, yes. But the wrong sort-The workshy, women, wogs,Petty infringers of the law, personsWith notifiable [...]
God on Trial
Saturday, December 7th, 2002In Theology I, Dr. Vanhoozer is having us write a dialog paper and gave us two choices. I’m doing mine on God on Trial where we have to put God on trial for creating the world. Is there enough evidence to convict Him? What bugs me about this is that this sounds more like it [...]
