Great C.S. Lewis quote
I posted a portion of this quote on Facebook today. Then I found myself wanting to read the context in which it was written. Well here it is! “But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away “blindly” so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real… — read more

Mass exodus…
Preach it brother! This man is calling for all Christians and Bible-believing Jews to end their affiliation with the democratic party. He tells it like it is. — read more

Our wayward selves
I’ve been reading one of those daily “one-year” Bibles for a number of years. They walk you through the Bible in one year. They give you a little Old Testament, a little New Testament, a little Psalms and a little Proverbs each day. This really gives one a clear contrast between the Old and New… — read more

There’s a rule and there’s a judge
There is a new movie coming out about the start of Scientology. It’s called “The Master”. Apparently it’s quite good as far as acting and recreating the 1950 time period goes. I was just reading another review of the movie here. The review states that some in Hollywood turn to Scientology to help them have… — read more

For Your Birthday
I like to think about God watching over our lives from the beginning… …arranging things so that our paths would cross and we would realize we were meant for each other. God made you for me… and I bet it makes Him happy to see what a wonderful husband you are. It makes me happy,… — read more

Civic review
The following is an excerpt from a review of the Civic by a Kelley Blue Book editor. After our trip up the coast yesterday, I can say it’s pretty accurate. Driving Impressions The 2012 Honda Civic is not the smoothest or quietest car in the category. Nor is it the most fun to drive. Curious,… — read more

His and hers
Shawna and I had talked a bit about the idea of his/hers Honda Civics. While we both thought the idea was interesting, she wasn’t really having much of it. Her Chrysler 300C HEMI was quite a bit nicer than a Civic. We also felt we needed a four-door car for occasional passengers. But then I… — read more

New car
A few days ago I parted with my 2006 Mustang in favor of a new 2012 Honda Civic. Things change a little bit when a single-person one-car situation turns in to a married-couple two-car family. When we got married, Shawna had a nice 2006 Chrysler 300 with 90,000 miles on it. And I had a… — read more

Communication in the modern age
I recently read a little article titled something like “Phone calls are rude”. The point of the article was that calling someone on the telephone demands immediate, undivided attention. Whereas other forms of communication we use today like instant messaging, text messaging, email, and many others do not. I find this to be an interesting… — read more

Malice
A couple of months ago, Shawna got in a bit of a fender bender. She changed lanes and didn’t see the car next to her. It seemed like fairly minor damage, but the repair bill was around $2,000. So a couple of weeks ago we paid the $500 deductible to get it fixed. The body… — read more
