Well, we’ll try this out for a while and see how it goes. The theme is Vertigo Red by Brian Gardner, with some relatively minor page structure and CSS customizations by yours truly. A few things from the old site have been temporarily dropped, most noticeably the contact form, but I’ll be adding that back [...]

Sam’s Montessori school held their Spring and Graduation Program last night, held ironically at our old church, Faith Covenant. We’re moving Sam to a different Montessori school in the fall, so this was his last day with this group of classmates. He’s a bit sad about that, but looking forward a summer with his favorite [...]
I’ve gone and done something rather uncharacteristic for me: walked into a bookstore and purchased something from the Christian section. In this case, it is N.T. Wright’s “Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church“. I’ve seen mention of the author many times in various blogs, but have never investigated [...]
I was following a blog stat link (am I obsessed?) and ended up at the home page of the Evangelical Covenant Church, which is the organizing body of the local church that my wife and I were members of up until about a year ago. Anyway, I thought the TNIV users among us would be [...]
I’m trying to wrap up my much-prolonged reading of Harold Best’s Unceasing Worship, however I seem to keep getting distracted by other projects and books. That said, a passage in his chapter, “What creative people can learn from God’s creation”, struck me yesterday. Best is discussing the contrast between our rational need for order, symmetry, [...]
As part of investigating moving from WordPress.com to a hosted installation of WP software, I’m exploring the suddenly much larger world of WP themes. There’s a lot to slog through out there, so I’m calling all WP theme junkies in Bible blogdom to comment on either what their favorite themes are or who their favorite [...]
No, not one of mine. Perusing yesterday’s stats, I found an incoming link from a blog I didn’t recognize: Hanoch, or perhaps more accurately “Hanoch was not”. It looks like things are just getting started, but the blogger is posting on one of my favorite topics, Bible editions – including this post on “the perfect [...]
In addition to the previous two posts, I have a few more scattered thoughts to start the week, so I’ll just throw them into one post and follow up later if it warrants greater attention: Dave Cruver of To Tell You The Truth linked to my “most important verse” post on Bible translation as part [...]
Yesterday morning was an amazing experience of extremes. I woke up late (which I hate to do) and the boys were extraordinarily rambunctious, which I didn’t deal with very well. My wife left the house early to attend the 9:00 service before serving in the toddlers’ Sunday school room at 10:30. In her absence, the [...]
Note: I very rarely post on politically related issues and don’t intend to make it a habit. I hope that this post is not taken politically, but as a commentary on the role of church in a Christian’s life. John Hobbins posted an excerpt of Senator Obama’s explanation for resigning as a member from Trinity [...]
