Theme Lighthouse: Fowey Rocks

Oh dear - no Java!!!!Be a lighthouse

You don't normally think lighthouses look like this.  But Fowey Rocks Lighthouse -- in the upper Florida Keys -- is where you need a lighthouse the most -- in the water above the underwater obstructions!  This goes well with the purpose of this page.

Dear Graduate

 A piano student is now valedictorian at a prestigious prep school. But some of the things that she offered up to the local newspaper prove an eye opener. At a time of year when we're supposed to be looking hopefully to the future, this scholar wants to "paint it black." This is our response, not only to her but to many who feel the same way.

Half a Million Roubles. Is It Enough?

 Things were pretty bizarre in Russia following the collapse of communism. But not half as bizarre as some other things out there.

He is Prepared to Sign Anything

 Somtimes in business negotiations take an unexpected turn. It's that way in life too--this one and the next.

HP-35 Calculator Simulator

 Things not adding up for you? (To say nothing of multiplying, exponentiating, etc...) Try this out. A blast from the past.

I Hope You Are Right

 Sometimes we run in to sceptics. Sometimes we are the sceptics. But the answers are what count.

If You're Going to Take the Land, Take It

 The removal of the Jewish settlements has caused a great deal of personal pain for those who must leave. It has also caused pain for many Israelis and Americans who believe that the State of Israel is giving up its God-given, Biblical patrimony. But a little close examination will reveal that Israel's—and many Christians'—plan of “taking the land” is neither workable nor Biblical.

Mike Oldfield, Hergest Ridge, And...

 One web site referred to this kind of journey as a "pilgrimage." This is one pilgrim's account. Includes photographs and music.

More Than Dreams (Video Series)

 The neocons would have us believe that jihadis never sleep. Like many things with the neocons, this cannot be correct. But interesting things do happen when jihadis and other Muslims sleep, as this series will show.

My Lord and My God: A Pentecostal layman looks at the Deity of Christ and the Nature of the Godhead

 A detailed look at a subject that has generated a lot of heat over the years.  Primarily directed towards our friends in the Watchtower but useful for everyone.

Nine Months

 Is it possible to write a fantasy about a real place?  Is it possible to encapsulate an experience with God in the process?   And is it possible to deal with the problems of war and suffering at the same time?  Decide for yourself.

There Was a Rush Along the Fulham Road...

 London is always an educational place to visit. Even before our current “war on terror,” one could learn about Islam and jihad there. The trick was—and is—to have a proper native guide, and I had a very strange one.

When the Sheep Have Anthrax

 What kind of a Christmas message is this anyway?  One that the times demand.  Read it and find out.

Sun Tzu?s Method of Teaching a Lesson

Travis Johnson gives his congregation a lesson from the great Chinese author Sun Tzu: Sometimes you just have to break things and burn things down to get people where they need to go. Have you ever had someone tell you that you shouldn’t burn bridges?  Me too.  It is good advice…sometimes.  In the case of mission, sometimes [...]

Code Pink Uses Witchcraft to Protest Iraq War

The secularists have done their best to decouple "God and Country" but obviously the anti-war group Code Pink knows better: Code Pink is now resorting to witchcraft to beef up the number of its supporters protesting Berkeley’s controversial Marine Corps Recruiting Center. The women’s anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy [...]

Can Islam be Changed?

Evidently Spengler doesn’t think so: How, then, should one make sense of the joint statement [...]

They May Bomb and Gouge, But At Least They?re Sober

Ping, the well-known manufacturer of golf equipment, has earned a place in Golf Digest’s "Bomb and Gouge" (Mike Johnson and Mike Stachura) blog for an unusual reason: Just prior to last week’s Safeway International, Stacy Prammanasudh and her equipment sponsor, Ping, parted ways and Prammanasudh played the event with just one Ping club in her bag [...]

I?m Sick of Church Math

The "Exponential Conference" makes me, the author of this, needing to say a few things about all of the math that gets thrown around in the church world. Obviously, on the face of it, exponential growth is what you want out of your "exponential church." But you need to think clearly about which exponent you want, [...]

Planes flying into New York area on dangerously low fuel

This is not a good time to run out of gas: A review by federal authorities has revealed a sharp increase in planes, particularly from Continental Airlines, flying into the New York area with so little fuel that they demand an emergency landing. In a report on minimum and emergency fuel declarations into Newark airport last year, [...]

Trust Me, Mike, There?s More to Come

M.D. McMullin lets it out about Positive Infinity on Jonathan Stone’s blog: I think Don has already blogged on every issue known to man. And, if God gives me life, I’ll keep it up. I think that a lot of the problem Evangelical Christianity is facing these days is that its focus (or life view) is too narrow.  [...]

American Foreign Legion?

It certainly looks that way: Under pressure to increase their numbers, the Army and Marine Corps are sharply raising the number of recruits with felony convictions they are admitting to the services. Data released by a congressional committee shows that the number of soldiers admitted to the Army with felony records jumped from 249 in 2006 to [...]

Some Clients? Products Shouldn?t be Consumed During Work

Evidently someone at Mexican ad agency Teran|TBWA was consuming some of their client Absolut’s product when they produced this: Reminds me of something my Russian representative told me one time.  He confidently declared that "In Russia, there is a saying that, ‘There is no agreement without vodka.’"  He paused, thought, then added, "And that’s why there [...]

Reply to Jonathan Sacks: But It?s the Tradition!

The UK’s Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks makes a plea for tolerance: The real question, which has echoed time and again through the corridors of history, is whether we can find ways of living together, despite the fact that we can’t find ways of believing or worshipping together. That is what the Bible teaches in its very first [...]
