I asked my Uncle Bob (aka RobAC recent and I hope future commenter around these parts), the member of my family I’m most like, to write up a post for my blog. He and I recently reconnected after a long period of being out of touch. It’s really more for my benefit than anyone else’s, [...]

So most of you know that my wife and I home school our kids (which is a bit like saying my wife and I were pregnant three times, I was involved in both, but she does/did most of the work). Well color me surprised (a sort of pinky-purple) when I discovered that I really haven’t [...]

I had a really good weekend overall. The highlight was a visit to see Sid and P. G.. After coming back from the pub Sid cracked open a bottle of twelve year old scotch and we sallied forth into some interesting discussions well into the wee hours. The most interesting one (that I still recall) [...]

I don’t think abomination is too strong a word here, so I ran into these abominations at ToysRUs today. For a hair less than six bucks you could get a Jonah or a Daniel or a David all of whom seemed built like Rambo. That’s not surprising I suppose since the makers of this are [...]

Episode thirteen arose from the Penn video I posted yesterday. Referenced my post Communicate – when necessary use words. Also played a promo for Excuse me, Ghidorah! Music from3rd Man, called Blind Spot.

If Penn Jillette, comedian, illusionist, juggler, atheist, anti-bs artist, gets it then why don’t we as Christians get it? Watch this video so you know what the heck I’m talking about. ht to The Prodigal Jon

So I saw Talladega Nights on the tube the other night. I like Will Ferrel (in tee-iny doses) and this was one of his funnier ones imo. That’s not so much the point of this post though. At one point his character Ricky Bobby (a spot on parody of a Nascar driver) was saying grace [...]

Episode twelve springboarded from a suggestion by Sid for us to talk about prayer in school. Pot stirred. Worms everywhere. The episode ends abruptly thanks to the sound issue I’ve been plagues with, but it’s still a forty minute episode (cut down from an hour) and has some solid talk. Referenced Beyond the Box’s episode [...]

So on twitter someone said that “Merry Xmas is wrong, tacky, and just plain dumb”. I understand that sentiment and held it myself for a while, but I learned something very interesting over the years and I thought I would share it with you. X has been used as a legitimate abbreviation for Christ since [...]

Okay so I’m gonna weigh in on this. Californians have decided to define marriage in their constitution. Cliffred of The Jesus Geeks said that this was an instance of people standing up for righteousness. Now I have a few problems/questions. Problem/Question 1 – Should we “stand up for righteousness” in other ways in our constitutions? [...]
