As of yesterday afternoon around 3pm, I am unemployed. …….still kinda numb about that. I’m trying to hook up with the outside world again and get some connections and feelers out. My weblog seems important to that. For the past month or so, I had been using my VPN connection, and connecting remotely to my Radio application running on my Continue Reading
Some examples of the many, including Jimmy, who could stand it no longer. This is not to say that I feel that all Southern Baptists owe it to their conscience to leave. There’s such a thing as being “salt”; to be a light and a ministry to areas of darkness and disobedience. Sometimes members of a family can influence one Continue Reading
I ran across some mention of the discussion about Islam and the perception of it as a violent religion. It was on Josh Claybourn’s blog. Josh is an extremely intelligent and a good writer too.

Getting Clued in as Web Churches continues this thread of thought
A friend and former Seminary professor, Mary Olson, wrote to me recently and told mew about a “Honoring Differences” grant her organization, AbrahamicFamily.net received from the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. The prayer on their front page asks that there be no war against Iraq, and ….well, click the link above and read it and Continue Reading
Much needed point made by Joshua at Blogs4God: “Yesterday I wrote, “With control of the White House, House of Representatives, and probably the Senate as well, Republicans are entering a historic time in American history.
