Listen to Cyber-Psalm 74 - read by David Ker in a bizarre accent
I need a miracle. Lyrical and elusive. Mirages and memories simply won’t do. Proximate and intimate not ancient intangible. In your face, before your eyes, mystic magic trick.
Supernatural sight and [...]
7:6 Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces. 8
8 tn Or “otherwise the latter will trample them under their feet and the former will turn around and tear you to pieces.” This [...]
I’ve been chewing on a comment I heard in a sermon on Sunday. The preacher claimed that Jesus by perfectly fulfilling the Law was able to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. His sinless life is clearly affirmed in the epistles. What is interesting is that the Gospels present quite a different [...]
In March 2000, a mere nine years ago, Benjamin came into our family, and then all the big kids got puppies in May. Eleanor is holding Sunshine. Henry is holding Dziwa Bzako (Nyungwe for “Mind your own business”) and Andrew in the red hat is holding Abigail.
Alas, Abigail disappeared soon after. But Dziwa lived for [...]
I like the way he says “buh-dup a dup bup bup” when he’s backing up the car.
I like the way he falls asleep watching movies.
I like the fact that I’ve never heard him swear.
I like that he ran his first marathon at age 50.
I like the way he treats my wife like his own daughter.
I [...]
I’ve decided to come out with my own vegetable praise album
Here is a tentative list of songs. See if you can come up with some more:
The Brocs cry out
Lettuce go to the house of the Lord
Olive you is more than enough for olive me
Amazing Grapes
Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.

I’ve been tagged by several people for memes. Memes are what bloggers did before they had Facebook. But now they’re back.
The latest two I have received are:
1.
I can’t think of noblesse oblige without [...]
Praise to Jesus. Praise the son. Praise the Conqueror, victory won. Praise celestial come to earth. Praise the lowly praised at birth.
Glory, praise and thanks eternal. Rescued from all foes infernal. Ever thanking, ever praising. [...]
But stop trying to get me to use one. A computer is a hunk of electronics not a Tickle Me Elmo for grownups.
Free yourself. Let go of your idol. Gather around the bonfire and toss that white gleaming image into the flames and watch the fire envelope your digital demon. Apple is a cult. All [...]
Sometimes I read Jim’s blog. I try not to. But I can’t resist.
John Hobbins has been posting a series of translation comparisons of Psalm 26:1-3. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). I considered writing a scathing review of his review but that’s hardly the way to begin your week. And in fact much of what he is saying, despite pounding us with cryptic terms like “syntagm” and other [...]
It’s that time again for a little bit of Land Rover worship. Not just one photo but several stretching back more than a decade.
1999: Here I’m dragging a dugout canoe through Katsanya. After that the people stuck the boat in the water and then listened to the Nyungwe translators read Scripture portions in Nyungwe. Cool!

That guy that used to blog over at Blogger has moved up the next link in the evolutionary chain and is giving away a book in celebration: http://voxstefani.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/in-which-you-reap-the-benefits-of-my-covenantal-blessings-or-a-giveaway/
Now I don’t have to deal with that dreaded Blogger comment system and those devilish captchas. But then what would I have to say about any of [...]
My post Christian patriotism is up at ThinkChristian. It looks at the religious/patriotic writings of Chambers and Lewis in wartime. I stumbled on this scary picture while looking researching the post.
Although I am at my core a Creationist, my role in our homeschool is to be the resident skeptic. My ears perked up when from the other room I heard young voices saying, “Science can’t PROVE anything.” What kind of twaddle is this? I came growling into the room demanding to know what sort of [...]
This passage can ONLY mean that the Rapture of Christians will be Soon — apparently during the lifespan of Pope John Paul II, which we know isn’t very long due to his advanced age!
This is truly GOOD [...]
It’s amazing how contemporary the controversies surrounding the King James Bible are. What we know as the King James Bible was a reaction to the the Tyndale Bible and later the Geneva Bible which were both noted for their anti-monarchy stance. By using, “elder” and “congregation” rather than “bishop” and “church” these translations together with [...]
