Greed Is Not Good
I’m doing a bit of travelling today, so I invite you to read an article on John D’s Computer Blog about how “Greed Is Not Good".
The ADD World
I was working on a computer the other day that didn’t have a CD drive in it. So, I tried to boot it from a CDROM hooked up externally, and that didn’t work. So, I tried to boot and install Windows from a USB thumb drive. That didn’t work. Meanwhile,…
Looking To Father
I recently heard a sermon that apparently was given around Father’s Day. I have to tell you that, while there were some good points brought up, overall the sermon seemed a little self-serving. Hopefully, I can avoid sounding that way, as I myself am a father. Fatherhood is important. Dr…
A Superstitious Belief

However, Australian Senator Nick Xenophon is arguing that cults should have their tax exempt status pulled, as reported in ReligionNewsBlog article “Cults thrive on tax-free status, senator says”. Would pulling their tax-free status really work, though? …
The Just War, Part 8: The Unrighteous Just War
In Part 7, we saw that Israel’s conquest of Canaan was just because God commanded it. However, all along Israel had a habit of not seeking God’s will. In fact, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Israel might not have had to fight at all if they simply obeyed…
The Value of People
Seth Godin wrote on his blog Seth’s Blog the article “Losing Andrew Carnegie“. Andrew Carnegie, of course, wrote many works on the value of people in the workplace. Godin asked the question if there were any large corporations “today that still believe this?” I’m all for process. I am a…
