No, seriously: It was roughly the size of a sixth-grader. ~The Associated Press
Blind
Friday, May 20th, 2005When I was young I learned not to play with fire But I’m still catching fallout of wild desire We all feel the burn day after day And you give, you give, you give yourself away
Everywhere I turn Everything I see This world is burning bright And I’m going blind
And the hammer falls on a world gone […]
ESV Bible Web Site
Monday, May 16th, 2005The ESV Bible (my bible of choice) has it’s own Web site.
It’s not a reference site (that is found here), it is simply a (really good) Web site about the bible, its translation methods, etc. It even has a blog with up to date news on what is happening with that translation.
How cool is […]
Recently found in a Wendy’s menu item…
Monday, May 16th, 2005A SINK STRAINER!!!
If you guys don’t read Dana Cramer’s blog regularly, you really should.
I think this is even weirder than the whole finger incident.
*Sigh* evolution.
Sunday, May 15th, 2005I didn’t ever want to do this, but I am going to post about evolution.
A comment I was making on a previous post in reponse to Dave’s question:
I have seen many people argue evolution motivated by secular belief. I have never seen anyone argue creation based on anything other than a religious belief…
Any secular […]
Music at the Rock. Part 2
Saturday, May 14th, 2005Please read Part 1 First.
Why I think “Rock n Roll Worship” is a good thing:
The Christian faith is a drag.
Or so it would seem to those who are in the midst of the party scene, an immoral lifestyle, or generally from a worldly background.
Asking someone to leave this life of pleasure and comfort, in order […]
Promises and Commands in Colossians
Friday, May 13th, 2005By way of a little “open-source theology”, I have compiled a list of commands and promises found in the book of Colossians, and I have phrased them in my own words. Feel free to chime in and let me know if I’ve missed something, or where I might be off.
Music at the Rock. Part 1
Friday, May 13th, 2005A thought on the music at The Rock.
As most of you know, I spend most of my waking hours thinking about music in one way shape or form, and am constantly mulling over how music fits in with worship of God, it’s place in the Church (the church in general, Stonebrook on Sunday Mornings, and […]
Just the facts ma’am.
Thursday, May 12th, 2005On the radio this morning, I heard a news report about court proceedings that are going on in some state over the teaching of evolution/creationsism/intelligent design in classrooms.
The most intelligent quote I’ve heard from anyone was by a professor from Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN.
[rough paraphrase] “I just want to focus on making sure […]
My Brain is in the shop.
Monday, May 9th, 2005Ironically, I took my laptop in to the shop the day before my “anniversary”
It’s still there :(
Matt:
I’ll tell you a little tale about your computer. The replacement hard drive was installed late on Friday by one of our technicians, after which he started diagnostics just before he took off for the day. A […]
Cars that can’t crash…
Wednesday, May 4th, 2005Bill Gates envisions cars that can’t crash…
“Microsoft is working with Ford Motor Co towards car that can’t crash. The future of cars according to Gates will involve high-definition screens, speech recognition technology, cameras, digital calendars and navigation equipment with directions and road conditions.”
No… I’m not going to say it… It’d be too easy to […]
The Switch.
Wednesday, May 4th, 2005Today is the one year anniversary of my switch. My only regret is that I have yet to buy one for Nancy.
And I thought I was a geek

Guitar Reviews: Taylor T5, Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005Yesterday, I got to go to Guitar Center in Roseville (Minneapolis for all of you that don’t live in Roseville) and play a few neat guitars.
I can already hear the collective YAWN from all but about three of you.
I played a $3500 acoustic, and am still convinced that mine (which didn’t cost anywhere […]
