My son Brian and his girlfriend Brandy went to the prom this past Saturday.Brian is finsihing up his junior year, and Brandy is graduating.Time sure flies. When we moved to Nashville, this guy was 8 years old. Now he’s 17. Below, there’s their ride….one of the guys arranged for the limo, and 5 couples pitched in and rode to dinner, Continue Reading
I just noticed that IE seems to be OK with my K2 theme again…….wierd. I hadn’t done anything to the style sheet. I did a bunch of work on CSS at work today. Maybe it just “seeped over” into my blog……really strange……I hadn’t evgen added a new post that might make me think some post at the bottom with some Continue Reading
inward /outward He said that you don’t know whether it will work or not. Why don’t you break off a few chunks of life and try? You experiment with everything else. Break off a few years – a chunk – of your life, and give it in this bold experiment and see what happens. Clarence is one of my all Continue Reading
I have begun the process of getting all of my features over to WordPress. I am quickly liking what I see in WordPress. It uses Ajax liberally, and has an easy Blogroll Admin tool. Plus, the K2 plugin theme is a snazzy looking theme.
Now the profile pane has vanished. The fonts it uses in posts don’t match those of the main editor for the blog, so all the posts look different. That may take some looking around.
A program I bought in November 2004, Bonhoeffer, is showing on our local PBS station tonight, and on PBS stations across the country at 10pm EST. Highly recommended. I also bought, in the same purchase, Hauerwas’ book Performing the Faith: Bonhoeffer and the Practice of Nonviolence, which is the book that got me started reading Hauerwas (and Bonhoeffer, although I Continue Reading

Supporting a president who does the bidding of power-hungry corporations , guts safety net after safety net in defense and support of his “base” (that’s what he called the rich folks at a Continue Reading

I am starting in on Gerhard Lohfink’s Does God Need the Church? Toward a Theologu of the People of God It was a highly recommended book by Bill Cavanaugh in his speech to the Ecclesia Project meeting a couple months ago. I’m also plodding through some rather dense sections of the middle of Betge’s Biography of Deitrich Bonhoeffer. Lots of Continue Reading
The previous three posts concerning some of those matters involving “activism” and “ecclesiology” all brought to a head by my simultaneous reading of Stanley Hauerwas, James KA Smith, Deitrich Bonhoeffer, and Jim Wallis (a little earlier this year, in God’s Politics) are all on my radar because of the resonation I have felt , especially over the past 9-11 months, Continue Reading
I finally got up and running with Movable Type 3.2 , after getting a test run set up as an “alternate”. I made the switch today by renaming directories and changing the mt-config settings. I’ve not received one Spam trackback since! Awesome. I’m trying to figure out the StyleCatcher plugin now. It lets you change themes quite easily (that is, Continue Reading

You may have seen this already, but this guy has an interesting blog and context for his blog. A New Orleans info company has been running on generator and diesel fuel, with webcams out the window, talking about what’s going on down there. The Interdictor This webcam link from his blog just showed several yellow school buses , one after Continue Reading
