Visual DNA
Here’s a cool web whatsit to mess around with if you have a few minutes and feel like clicking on pictures, Visual DNA. Mine (available for review on my About Me page) says that I am a “New Wave Puritan.” Which conjures up a mental image of the wife from the painting American Gothic but with a Flock of Seagulls/Thompson Twins hairdo. Yeah…
Nursery Rhymes, Revised
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And ate all her mac and cheese

what is the definition of aghast?
oh yeah, now I remember…
…or will we all be holding our breath Monday morning, expecting that before a pitch is thrown in the season opener an announcement will be made that Pavano’s dog ate his pitching arm, or some such nonsense, and he will once again be unavailable to report for work as scheduled?
One of the rare years that I am NOT looking forward to opening day.
Persecution on campus
From PersecutionBlog.com
Yesterday, Wallbuilders Live interviewed Mike Johnson from The Alliance Defense Fund concerning college campuses that are hostile to Christianity. The show is very eye-opening and if you’re a parent of a young person who is and/or is deciding to attend a public university, please take the time to listen to this half-hour show.
do dogs have the sense of smell?
We’re presently trying to break him of a paper fetish. He loves to eat paper products–tissues, napkins, toilet paper, paper towels, newspapers, and his latest catch…a diaper. Now, we don’t often have diapers in our house anymore, but at a recent Welcome Class held in our home Wendell managed to find and snatch up a complete diaper…a loaded one.We tried prying his jaws apart to no avail (I think...

two becomes one
We are thinking fondly these days of our good friend Dean Lewis who is getting married this weekend to his beautiful bride Reese. May God bless your marriage, and your lives together being joined two as one.

During bedtime tonight, William interrupted a song for the following conversation:
Will: Mama? Where is your voice come from?
Me: From Jesus.
Will: Hm. What your voice comes from Jesus for?
Me: So I can sing for Him.
Will: Oh. Mama, where is Jesus?
Me: In Heaven. And if you ask Him to, He will come live in your heart.
Will: Hm.
…Long pause…
Will: He’s really...
China: House Church Raided
A house church Bible study was raided on March 6 in the Wancheng district, Nanyang city, Henan province, according to China Aid Association. The leaders were taken into custody and interrogated for the day. After international pressure the local police released 33 leaders of house churches and 3 leaders from South Korea. Pastor Dong Quanyu was arrested and sentenced for 10 days for...
Best laugh I've had in days...
Thanks to our friend Kelly for posting a snort-tacular video and link to these guys’ site on her blog. They made me laugh so hard that if I was drinking milk, it would come out my nose. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been so thankful to not be drinking milk as during the roughly five minutes I was watching their Facebook Song podcast.

announcing our new site
In support of my hobby of genealogy, to better organize my research, and to be able to distribute information, I am announcing a new blogging concept here at our site: GenBlog: Our Family Chain
what about Bhutan?
A little about Bhutan:
The kingdom of Bhutan is a nation between China and India. The entire country is mountainous although there is a small strip of land that is subtropical to the south. Bhutan is an exporter of hydroelectricity and has been depending upon cash crops, tourism, and development aid from India to help it grow as a country. The population there is 672,425 (4/2006).
Bhutan is...
go wildcats!
I’m pulling for a first round upset.
phooey
Until today I thought phooey was spelled fooey. (Read my last post to understand why I might be saying that word.)
You gotta love English.
my bad day
I’m wrapping up a project management class and all I need to do is take my final. You would think that would be a simple process. Well I have found a new proctor that is closer to my folks house and decided that would be the best option. That was last October when I got them to agree to proctor my exam. Ever since then I have blown through 5 classes with online finals. This class has...

A question that I can never stop asking.
Anniversary Update, Part 2
A new experience for both of us on our anniversary trip was Eggs Benedict. Hard to believe that after (insert your polite guess at our ages here) years of eating breakfast, neither of us had ever tried this dish. Yummers! This stuff rocks! I think perhaps I had avoided it because I have been hesitant about eating a poached egg. They are certainly delicious, but isn’t poaching illegal? ...
Jersey Girl Update
Within walking distance from our old apartment in Bloomfield, they are filming the final scene of the Sopranos at Holsten’s, an ice cream/sandwich/candy shop. Those cats sure make tasty snacks.
Anniversary Update, Part 1
We stayed in a wonderful Bed & Breakfast in Lynchburg for our anniversary trip. The rooms were amazing, the breakfasts deeee-licious and owners full of personality. Because it was the middle of the week and off season, we were the only guests while we were there. We traveled to Lynchburg up 77 to 81 and then went east to get there. And yes, we knew that was the long way before we...
Recovering Civility
Al Mohler’s take on recovering Civility. A great read for times such as these.
So … why would Ann Coulter use that word? And, even more troubling to me, why would any in her audience laugh? There is nothing remotely funny about that word in any context. It is meant to hurt when boys use it in the locker room, and it was meant to hurt when Ann Coulter used it when speaking to a ...

what happened to our website?
I upgraded the code.
It should look like it’s old self in the next day or two - or something different.
