I love to cook. Worst, I love to take pictures of what I cook when I know it’s going to be a good meal. Therefore, I’m uploading those pictures in a non-linear and very random feature addition I like to call Eats. Very simple, I know but seeing pictures of great food on Scoboco’s site really got me jealous.

Robert Jordan

After a long battle with illness, Robert Jordan has passed away. I would check his blog for updates every 2 weeks or so; this was the off week. MCF let me know.

Blog Envy

At the Bible Archive I ranted about a certain Tim Challies who has managed to perform crimes against the space-time continuum by posting every day (1414 and ticking), sometimes twice a day, while having 3 kids, running a company and publishing a book. In short: I hate Tim Challies.*

Smells Like A Thirty Three Year Old

I was playing around with audio mixing because, well, just because. I thought it would be funny to do Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit with my acoustic and with the melancholy that only a thirty-something year old can offer.

Christian Sci-Fi: The True Myth

My buddy-blogger Darrell first scored Amillenial on the Eschatology quiz and then took dispensationalism to town citing some problems inherent in the system and some really bad press due to overzealous Left Behind Series theologians. Darrell rightly points out that taken to its extremes dispensationalism can become a sort of mythology which allows non-Christians to dismiss Christianity as a Sci-Fi Cult…a point which gave me pause.

Run, Forest, Run

Although I could always throw (and land) a few punches, I wasn’t much of a fighter. In the heat of the moment I found my body considering several options (jab to the neck, kick to the groin, a punch to the solar plexus with a powerful chi cry) but it usually resorted to the easiest: run.

Playground Wars: Josias Strikes Back

Monday, my son went back to school with much trepidation but armed with unknown resources: we notified his teacher about what had happened on his first day. Concerned, she promised that the teachers overseeing Recess would be extra vigilant to ensure that the older kids weren
