I know I’ve posted this before, but I thought I’d give it another go…

My Johari Window

(and Nohari Window!)

This morning as I went into the garage to drive to work, I saw a cat scamper under the car. I went to shoo it away, and discovered a kitten.

Since then I have discovered three more kittens, hiding out in my garage. So… if you want one (or all of them) come and get ‘em. I’ll even let you take the mama cat, too.

If it’s okay to blast someone for being pro Intelligent Design, then what’s with all the praise for a magazine that has a pro-ID executive editor and an advisory board teeming with ID defenders?

Several years ago Rich Lusk wrote some articles on postmillennialism for an online magazine called Meshereth. The magazine is now defunct, but I was wondering if anyone happens to still have those articles?

You just wait, Dr. Leithart. You may make some good points, but you just wait…

265?

Not the same as 26.5.

Yesterday evening, as I was mowing the lawn, I came to the conclusion that I am rish. Too rich. This came to me because I came across a digital camera sitting in the yard. The girls were playing with it, and had left it there, resting in the grass. This is a camera that, when it was new, cost a hundred dollars.

And its just sitting in the yard, unmissed. I mean, one might argue that I am too rich because I let 2 and 4 and 5 year old children play with the thing. But then, they leave it outside in the elements, and I don’t even notice its absence. Or care much that it may not work anymore (I didn’t check it, just put it in my pocket).

I’ve got too much junk.

Some of you may recall the story of Blue Flamingoes from a few weeks back.

Well, Saturday we happened to be taking a stroll through Toys-R-Us when Geneva stumbled upon a pack of stuffed flamingoes, including a blue one and a pink one. “Ashley was right!”

I was just talking to an instructor in his lab room. He’s setting up for his class that starts in 20 minutes. A student for that class comes in, they exchange greetings, and apologizes for being so early. “That’s okay,” he says, “you just need to get a life”.

ChristianAudio.com is a website similar to audible.com, but focusing only on christian titles. What made me take notice of the site is that every month they give away a free audiobook, and this month’s happens to be G.K. Chesterton’s book, Orthodoxy. I went through the process of signing up for an account, and it was painless, and I downloaded the book in six mp3s, all completely DRM free. Nice!

There’s also a free NT Wright lecture on the site, entitled The Jesus of Myth and History.

Check out the site.
