New Years Resolutions: Life Hacking
I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions. I’m not so much against the January 1st resolutions to do better, it’s the January 2nd failure to follow through that I hate. But this year has to be different. The last year has been one of contestant changes and challenges, adding a new member…

Churchianity vs. Christianity
I just ran across a term I had never heard before: Churchianity. In a nutshell, churchianity is the result of taking Christ out of Christianity. Jesus commanded us, the Church, to “go and make disciples”, but the unfortunate reality is that we are more prone to go and make church members. When I say “we”,…

ReadingThru has a home! – Blogging through the Bible in One Year

There are few things I dread more than at-home tech support issues, the customers can get so cranky and it’s hard to get them off the line in three minutes.…

I have been praying quite a bit lately about following a chronological reading plan through the bible in one year and blogging it as I go.

God’s Tool Box
I have been pretty amazed lately how God’s plans seems to include, even require, such a diversity of people – different languages, histories, upbringing, education, life experiences, view points, talents, gifts… In the natural, these differences usually lead to misunderstand, distrust, conflict, fear, hatred, wars – God has given us a singular commonality, one thing…

Making the Cut on BlogRush
I added the BlogRush widget to this site a while back. My hits when up, but almost as important, I really liked the quality of the links being associated with om site. I couldn’t help but checkout a few of the links myself (I hope this isn’t against the rules ). I have been following…

In the face of slipping numbers, Microsoft has reversed thier earlier requirement that users have a legal copy of Microsoft Windows XP or greater in order to download and install Internet Explorer 7. M$ has done…
