2007-10-30 11:49  Term Papers: The Official Word
Course work has been keeping me busy, and unfortunately I haven't been able to keep up with some blog conversations I would have liked to. Richard Anderson, for instance, has been blogging extensively on the Hellenists in Acts, and David Miller continues to post some great pictures and commentary from his trip to Turkey; his series on exodus and salvation in Luke-Acts has also been stimulating. I had also intended on doing a follow up on some earlier posts on the Hellenists, explaining what indi …

Last week Hugh Hewitt wrote about An Astonishing And Sickening Breach Of Trust. A private firm that tracks terrorist movements got a hold of the Osama bin Laden video last month, before its release. It gave two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release.Within 20 minutes, a range of intelligence agencies had begun downloading it from the company's Web site. By midafternoon that day, the video and a transcript of its audio track h …

Former VP Al Gore has been enjoyed increased press recently due to his recent victory in the race for the Nobel Peace Prize.  He played all four quarters, had a couple of questionable calls go his way and stayed tough mentally.  (Sorry ... watched quite a bit of football this weekend.) One comment that I have heard/read multiple times from newspapers, blogs, TV reporters, etc. is that Al Gore put country before self by unifiying the country after the 2000 election.  He decided to end the courtro …

TITLE: "The Self-Made Martyr" AUTHOR: cow LINK TO TOPIC INSPIRED BY: Week 8:2 WARNINGS: Poetry. Very rough; I'd been mulling over the concept for a week, but wrote it in a fury on the bus to Seattle. Please be gentle, but constructive criticism is welcome. RATING: PG, I guess. I tried to take it all on: the burns, my hands scorched by the fires of hell, the furnace of sin, the flames of desire; the scars, my skin broken by the lightning of abuse, the thorned whip of betrayal, the blows of failed …

My expectation is that the Bishop will NOT allow clergy to bless same sex couples.

Ottawa votes yes to same-sex blessings Jennifer Green, CanWest News Service Published: Saturday, October 13, 2007 CORNWALL - Ottawa Anglicans approved the blessing of same sex marriages by a vote of 177 to 97 Saturday, the first diocese in Canada to support th …

It is easier for a feeble straw to resist a mighty fire than for the nature of sin to resist the power of love. We must cultivate this love in our souls, that we may take our place with all the saints, for they were all-pleasing unto God through their love for their neighbor. - Saint Elizabeth the New Martyr as quoted on God's Politics

Randall Buth in a post at ETC notes the wanton killing of Rami Khader Ayyad, the director of the bookstore of the Palestine Bible Society in Gaza. Bibbiablog has far more information on the killing, from an article in Corriere della Sera, the Italian equivalent of the New York Times. Below the fold I provide details in English translation.

We apologize for our last post turning into a quasi-PSA against the filthy habit of cigarette smoking, but our baseline reaction to Adam Morrison's revolting life choice left us with no other recourse. As such, we shall take this post in an altogether different direction, ie Europe.

For years, journalists at the France 2 television network have been refusing to release raw footage in a very important case. Mohammed al-Dura was apparently shot to death by Israeli soldiers in an incident used by Palestinians as a propaganda tool during the wave of terror attacks called the Second Intifada. But France 2 employed a Palestinian cameraman whose reliability was called into question after additional investigation revealed inconsistencies in the way the story was portrayed. Did he t …

2007-10-02 16:19  Cursing the darkness
There's an old saying about choosing to curse the darkness rather than turn on a light which I think applies to lots of creatives today. Seth Godin talks about this idea in a recent blog post, where he discusses an old business that is stuck in status quo mode and the new start-up which takes risks and tries anything because, well, it pretty much has to to get market attention and traction. What particularly struck me was when he wrote that the older business' employees felt "helpless." I see th …

A few weeks back, my Chris and Noah, who is 9, went up Mt. Herman to practise with Chris' new paint ball gun. They had signed up with a group at church to go yesterday, and Chris felt like he needed to see if Noah was old enough to handle the shots. Even with protective gear, those paint balls can really hurt. So here is the scenario Chris described to me when they got home: Chris, with all his gear on and about 30 yards away said, "OK Noah now shoot right here in the middle of my chest." So Noa …
