reconciliation
I haven’t posted in a while – life has been busy. From Colossians, where I am presently studying, here is a thought to meditate upon today.
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things [...]

valentinus
Happy Valentine’s Day. Everyone seems to be saying that today.
I must be a melancholy sort, because I immediately think of the reasons why we celebrate Valentines like we do. In historic western culture, Valentine’s Day was a day to remember several martyrs from the early Christian church named Valentine (or a derivative thereof). Apparently it [...]

interesting stats from england
I was reading an article in the Christian Today website about the use of the bible in British churches. I don’t know whether to be happy that at least some people find the bible relevant or sad/shocked about the stats.
The Bible Society conducted an extensive poll with churches in England and found that one in [...]

More hibernating to do. Weird thing is – the long range forecast calls for 32F by next thursday.

a very strong dislike
I had a dental appointment today.
I don’t like having dental work done. The needles, the drilling, the choking on my own saliva. Not fun.

Now, more than 5 hours [...]

only survived
I am still alive after the deep freeze. It isn’t really that bad, if you dress for it while you are out.
It dipped below -30F for awhile, and the temperature is recovering.
Once the brain has completely thawed, I’ll post something interesting (at least to me…)…
