Piper Conference
Thursday, September 23rd, 2004My wife and I are off to the Desiring God national conference Sex and the Supremacy of Christ for the weekend. Seemed like an appropriate one to take my wife to. :) It is interesting to note that it is not “the Supremacy of God”. This is related to 9/11. I heard Piper a few [...]
Windows Stability
Thursday, September 16th, 2004I hate to bang on Windows because it just gets tiresome. After quoting Steve Jobs a few days ago I thought that I would give give it a rest. There just didn’t seem to be much in doing it. But, you guessed it, here I go again. This article really surprised me. Here’s the quote [...]
New Job
Thursday, September 16th, 2004I’m still working at Whole Foods, in the same store but I’m getting out of the Deli. I just got hired to be the new Store Systems Integrator, a.k.a. Computer Geek.

Bush Memos
Monday, September 13th, 2004There are ten thousand bloggers looking at the Bush documents and finding the faults with them but I can’t resist!

Terminal Love
Friday, September 10th, 2004I’ve noticed that Safari is getting irritatingly slow lately. The reason I switched was because it was supposed to be much faster than IE, and it is. Er, was. It has been running about the same speed lately. Well, while pursuing the latest MacAddict (1/2 price via .Mac membership) I caught a letter that thanked [...]
Worhip and Ethics
Monday, September 6th, 2004[We] are often unable to think sharply or feel deeply for the simple reason that [we] have not worshiped truly. As William Willimon and Stanley Hauerwas have noted, “bad liturgy eventually leads to bad ethics.” Never to have encountered the awful otherness-in-nearness of God in worship is never to have exercised either our hearts or [...]
A Lovely Hymn for Sunday
Sunday, September 5th, 2004Thou Lovely Source of True Delight 1. Thou lovely source of true delight Whom I unseen adore Unveil Thy beauties to my sight That I might love Thee more, Oh that I might love Thee more. 2. Thy glory o’er creation shines But in Thy sacred Word I read in fairer, brighter lines My bleeding, [...]
Its the End of the World As We Know It (and I feel fine)
Friday, September 3rd, 2004Others understand the historic importance of our work. The terrorists know. They know that a vibrant, successful democracy at the heart of the Middle East will discredit their radical ideology of hate. They know that men and women with hope, and purpose, and dignity do not strap bombs on their bodies and kill the innocent. [...]
