central
I am sure most of the netizens out there have heard of Wordle. This little java applet can scrape text from a web page and use the common terms to form a text word cloud of your page.
It is really neat to see the central theme to a web page using the words on the [...]

what kind of faith
I have been reading some articles online recently that were written by Charles Finney, an American evangelist in the 1800’s. There are a few on the website that have been abridged and edited (not extensively) to fit today’s language and reading styles. Finney had a particular style of writing and preaching that is harder for [...]

on rainy days
Today is a rainy day. This might be appropriate as it is considered the first day of Fall for my area of the world. The grey leaden skies don’t inspire any lofty thoughts today, but here is a question to consider.

talisman god
I have often thought about the depth of the spiritual life of the current “church”. I wonder what God thinks of us these days – and sometimes this causes no small amount of fear. I was discussing this with someone recently, and we got on to the topic of asking God for every little thing. [...]

office towers
I work in an office tower everyday. One that frustrates and annoys me – it is a public building and thus, has arcane security rules, and over-crowded elevators.
I found this video on the Tube and it caused another sad smile to cross my face. The imagery in the lyrics makes me want to leave my [...]

valley time
I am feeling a low point coming on – I think. I do have “dry spells” where I go thirsty for a few days. Spiritually, these times are difficult. I am not sure why, but I have difficulty with routine and discipline; plus I am easily overwhelmed.

homing beacon
I mentioned before that I am a home owner now, but I didn’t mention that it is an old house. Built in 1932 the house has a few problems that require attention – one being the roof.
