This morning just after five-thirty (about 5:37) I happened to be partially awake due to the fact that a fire truck (I believe) had just driven right by my apartment building. I was lying there with my back to the door when suddenly I had the sensation that someone was pressing in through the door

Opportunities to Help
I’ve felt the need to try and get more involved in actually doing something to help people. It’s a bit tough because I haven’t had a lot of extra time or money while I’ve been in school. I did donate to the Brian Scroggins Memorial fund, which I suggest you consider (he died leaving his
Passing of Christian Music Legend Larry Norman
Yesterday, Larry Norman passed away. Larry is considered to be the first CCM and Christian rock artist. Larry inspired generations of Christian musicians from the ’60s up to the present, as well as countless fans. While he is best known for the music he wrote during the ’70s and early ’80s, he had continued performing
The Key to Life
A few days ago I was thinking and believe that I figured out the key to life. It’s thought. Life is basically an infinite number of events perpetually happening. In order to try and explain, I’m going to diverge for a moment. I came to this thought by thinking about “reality” TV. What is called
TVs Obsolete in Two Years!
I think this is a bit crazy, and I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it before. Actually I didn’t believe it when I first heard it but apparently it’s true.

Discrimination of Technology
There is something that I’ve noticed over time which has bothered me. It has recently been brought to my attention again. Perhaps I could call it the discrimination of technology. An unbelievable amount of technological advance has been made in the past century and a half. This has afforded many modern conveniences and been useful
Criticism Guidelines
I always second guess myself after I’ve written something critical. I think that I’m wrong and/or I didn’t say the right thing, etc… I’ve noticed typically people are good at acting out of their frustration and anger, but poor at expressing why they are upset. I want to try and be the opposite. I feel
Thanksgiving
“On October 3, 1863 Abraham Lincoln issued a “Thanksgiving Proclamation” that made the last Thursday in November a national holiday. (Before that, the president had to make an annual proclamation naming the day when Thanksgiving was going to be held.) President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed Thanksgiving to the Thursday before last (the reason was to

There are not enough of them to be used for sociological research.” re-Christianization is by no means occurring. “What we are observing instead is a re-paganization.”
