What is the Source of Light? -- Who is the Source of Light?

I don’t even know how many times that I have read the creation account in Genesis and this evening as I doing my home work for the current sermon series at Northside Christian Church I was reading Genesis chapters 1 and 2 again. Ho hum, here we go again. Then it hit me. If you will forgive the pun ... << MORE >>

A Warped Board

Some of you may be familiar 2” x 4” lumber commonly used to build the walls of houses. In most construction the boards come to the construction site in large bundles known in the trade as bunks. When the lumber comes through the saw mill it is theoretically dried to specific moisture content. Now that may be too much information for you, I do have a point. In order to build a straight wall straight ... << MORE >>

Food Snob/fascist

I am sure that you know that there very specific ways that foods should be prepared for human consumption. Just in case you are not clear I will outline a few of the more important ones.

Hot Dogs: must be sliced lengthwise and opened to fry or grill never boiled.
    Acceptable condiments: Ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and if you must brown mustard. Things such as onions, sauerkraut, and chili should be avoided at all ...

Tolerance (or lack there of)

What you do think of when the term tolerance comes to your mind? Do you modify the term with racial, religious, political, sexual, moral, or perhaps grammatical?  Does tolerance mean no standard or does mean loose standards? Do you want people to be tolerant of you and your behavior? Are you willing to be tolerant of other people’s ideas or behaviors? How do words play into the issue? Does tolerance mean acceptability or acceptable? Because you tolerate ... << MORE >>

Dream machine

I had a very interesting dream this morning. I dreamed that I had gotten a job in a machine shop. I was running a large CNC milling machine. I asked a person in the shop if they had any machines that were directly controlled by computer (machines that took direct instructions from Autocad). I was directed to another part of the shop where I discovered a huge machine that covered several thousand square feet of the shop. ... << MORE >>

None to speak of

I remember joking as a young man before I had children that I had none to speak of or none that I knew. There was sort of an implied brag that I had been with women and could possibly have fathered children. (I had not, not for the lack of desire or effort.)

In the 2005 movie Broken Flowers with Bill Murray the lead character has lead a life of non-committal non-relationships with a series of women over ...

Remember seventeen?

At fifty years past the mile marker seventeen, I remember a lot of things, how about you? The summer of 1961 in Eaton, CO was like most summers, quiet. The Democrat John F. Kennedy was the President of the United States. After just four months in office he sponsored the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by anti-Castro Cuban exiles, they were all killed or captured. The first US astronauts were catapulted into outer space and returned ... << MORE >>

How's that working out?

A casual look at things in our society today reveals a pretty poor state of affairs on so many levels. Today’s “Dear Amy” advice column features a letter under headline “Couple need to figure out how to communicate.” George is 32 and Isabel is 29 they are not married and have been together for 12 years. They have 16-month-old daughter together. George was proud of the fact that they never argued then realized that it was because ... << MORE >>

Mail Call

If you haven’t been in the military deployed overseas you may not understand what “mail call” means. No matter where a person is deployed no matter what their mission is most of their thoughts are about their people at home. Sometimes mail call is as regular as everyday and sometimes it is sporadic, when ever it is it is the most important time of the serviceman’s day. It is the time when they can be connected with ... << MORE >>

A Sojourner

I am a sojourner in this world, I am not of this world. I am on a journey of discovery.

  36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, ... << MORE >>
