We are not suprised in the least when we hear liberal theologians attacking the inerrancy of Scripture. Most of us blink not in the slightest when they defame Pauline theology and paint Calvinism a mess with a sopping broad brush. Evidently unsettled that they no longer are capable of surprising us with their apostasy, they must have some novel doctrine to teach. And so it is that we find that

This article in today's Kentucky Enquirer speaks volumes as to how rabid many pro-choice individuals are. A student body based Right to Life's display of 400 crosses was destroyed Wednesday evening by a group of female students in one of Dr. Sally Jacobsen's graduate level classes.Surprisingly, this woman admits to encouraging her students to do this as an act of exercising their right to freedom

Sorry for the lack of an update for a while. Here's what's new:- I received my acceptance letter from Ivy Tech last night in the mail. At this juncture, we are merely waiting for my transcript information and my FAFSA to come in. Even though I live in Kentucky, Boone County is considered part of Indiana, so I will be getting the benefit of receiving in-state tuition rates. Yay for reciprocality!-

As many of you may know, Lent began on Wednesday and as such, the blogosphere is filled with references to it. For Catholics, the forty days of Lent (minus Sundays) are a time of fasting. But is it Scriptural?The Catholic Encyclopedia's entry on the subject is very telling:"Some of the Fathers as early as the fifth century supported the view that this forty days' fast was of Apostolic institution

The man who wrote the three variants of the InqTana Mac wormlet is interviewed by Robert Lemos of Security Focus.One quote in particular gives a good perspective on the security situation for Cupertino:“ If Apple is proactive about curbing the behavior that has been recently identified I think they will be taking a step in the right direction.

Speaking of gewd, the Intel Mac mini doesn't look too bad either. Both integer and floating point calculation benchmarks show major boosts at an estimated 470 and 550% respectively over the first-gen 1.42 Ghz G4 mini.My only beef- the video in the new mini is integrated, meaning it eats 64 MB of RAM just for the graphics chipset. So instead of 512 MB of memory, you are getting only 448. Plenty

I got one of my wishes today. After getting done with church, making our ritualistic trip to the McDonalds on US-50 for milkshakes and a cheeseburger, and having dinner with the in-laws, Kerrie and I went up to the Apple Store and met up with our frineds Eddie and Deanna.

Looks like I am going to be doing my first mod of a PC, and on a laptop at that. My brother-in-law spilled a drink on his Averatec 3220H1 notebook, destroying the keyboard. So after I repair the keyboard, upgrade the memory and clean up/tweak Windows XP, he wants to give it to his sister Holly for her to use when she goes off to college.My sister-in-law being the ecclectic person she is lit up in

Yesterday was a pretty good day, all things considered. I got off from work around 6:15 am and was able to lay down for about an hour or so before church. Then I put on the new cerulean blue shirt that I bought for church (as well as the dates I want to take my wife out on when we can afford to go out.) and packed the necessary baggage that ll new parents find themselves with, namely diaper bag,

One word. Premature.Not that I am a PowerPC purist by any means. I'm a dyed in the wool AMD man. My last desktop ran an AMD Athlon 1700+. My current machine, a notebook, uses a AMD Turion 64.And while I understand that Apple needed more processing power than the current line of G4s and G5s could provide and that the desktop was not Freescale's target niche, moving to Intel has not provided the

Like asking a hundred Linux users what distribution they use and getting nearly as many different replies, the question "What is Grace?" evokes a similar flurry of responses, some of which can be quite divergent (e.g. the Roman Catholic and Lutheran teaching that grace is diffused through the Sacraments stands in sharp contrast to what many Protestant denominations teach.) The following is my

Yesterday I was able to bring two beautiful women home with me, both of whom are asleep on the couch together. Seeing my wife and our daughter sleeping so peacefully together is a glorious sight. (Both of them sleep with their mouths open, so they look like two of a kind)Even when changing her dirty diapers, hearing her cry, or wondering about the big question of "What now?" I still don't

Boycott Starbucks?Reading mrsbirkel's blog, I came across a post about the latest controversy surrounding Starbucks. Evidently many Christians are upset with this coffee establishment because of their "As I See It" campaign which features miscellaneous quotes on their cups. One quote in particular aroused some fundamentalist ire:My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I

InductionThis Sunday evening, we will be going to St. Luke West for an induction of labor. Kerrie and I had hoped that Abigail would be born without the need for inducement, but being nearly a week overdue, it appears some medical intervention is necessary.Kerrie especially had hoped that they might try and induce her either tomorrow or Friday, but no dice. I can sympathize with her quite a bit-

The other day while on IRC I remembered why I don't go to dal.net very often anymore. I figured it out while taking a rare trip back to my old stompin' ground.

Linux enthusiasts are notorious for being quarrelsome when it comes to their preferences. SuSE or Mandriva (or Fedora)? Debian or Ubuntu? Command line or GUI?Probably the most contested issue among propeller heads is that of GNOME versus KDE. GNOME users complain KDE is "bloated" KDE aficionados clamor that GNOME is "dumbed down" and lacks 'x' feature. So who is right?Let's be honest with
