Many thanks to my nephew Derek Kaser, who rode to the rescue of this blog when I’d waded in over my head in matters of database versions. 24 hours ago I managed to shut myself out of editing this blog. 12 hours ago I’d managed to erase all the content. By 8 hours ago my [...]
It’s much easier to upload photos with one hand and hold the baby with the other than it is to write a blog post, however brief, in the same manner.? So enjoy these pictures of Micah, Miriam, pageants, presents, cookies, and all sorts of good stuff in Georgia in the days leading up to Christmas [...]

Through the River: Understanding Your Assumptions about Truth I should start this post with an apology to Mike Morell and the other folks at Ooze Viral Blogs: I’m certain they sent me this book some time in October, but I’m just now finishing up, well past the 30 days that we’re supposed to take to [...]

Tripp Fuller tagged me with this meme, so here’s my attempt at it (in just a few minutes so that I can get back to a conference paper): Written Proclaim faithfully Call to worship Grace given, encompassing all God creates, delivers, loves, redeems I suppose I should have laid out the terms of the meme: [...]
I promised a few days ago that I’d follow up on my critique of hipness with a post that’s more affirmative, and although I’m still going to be asking questions as I go, I’m nonetheless going to shoot for an overall stance of appreciation.? So here it goes. One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic As I mentioned [...]
Podcast RSS Feed Show Notes Appropriately enough for a show on science fiction, this week’s episode encountered no significant obstacles from software updates and the like.? Obviously the topic is gigantic, and as usual, we opened up more questions than we answered, but that’s part of the fun of our podcast, methinks.? Take a listen [...]
