WALL*E
As with many other people, I have been greatly anticipating the next Pixar movie. Well, I have seen it and it is great. In fact WALL*E is one of my favorite Pixar movies. As I make that statement I realize that I could say that about pretty much any Pixar movie. It is quite amazing that one studio has made nine (if I am counting correctly) movies that I can honestly say are all great. ...
Read MoreA Victory for the Constitution (and the people)
The Supreme Court voted yesterday on whether or not Americans had the right to legally own guns. Washington DC had a gun ban in effect that heavily restricts people from (legally) obtaining guns in the city (I guarantee you that there were still many ways to get them illegally). This was challenged by a man named Dick Heller who was denied a gun permit in DC. I won’t give you all the...
Read MoreGarden update and another story(ahem!)
Here is the latest from our garden. Everything is starting to grow very quickly now. Our cantelope is making great strides. On another note, some of you may know that I enjoy writing. Weird, I know, an accountant that likes to write, but I do. I have really enjoyed writing here on my website but I have always wanted, deep down inside, to write stories. I have developed several ideas...
Read MoreQuick Funny
Just a really quick funny blurb. At work today Kevin, our CPO (that’s Chief People Officer), and I were discussing the merits of dieting. Kevin had something very profound to say about it. Basically, he said that he didn’t believe in dieting because he believes that our bodies are the temple of God. He believes that our God is a big God and therefore deserves a big temple. ...
Read MoreOur Garden
Here is something else new to us. At the end of May we decided to plant a vegetable garden. We had talked about this for a while and had just not gotten around to it up to this point. Those of you who know anything about a garden know that we squeaked in just at the last moment to plant. The reason we decided to do this on such short notice was that we came across a way that would be...
Read MorePoll: There is more than one way to God
It’s a sign of the times. Where these times are in relation to God’s plan I do not claim to know but it is definitely a telling thing when 57% of religious people say that other religions offer a way to eternal life. Here comes universalism. Read the article linked below and let me know what you think. There is also a link at the bottom of this article to the study they are...
Read MoreJoyful Monday!
Yes, that’s right, I said the unthinkable. But what is wrong with having a good Monday? There seems to be a (very spoken) rule that the closer you get to Friday the better the day is. I am of the mind that any day can be a great day especially when you know the God who created that day. Because of this I can have confidence that whatever comes my way today will be from Him and for...
Read MoreGoings On
My sincerest apologies for not updating the site recently. I really haven’t felt like writing much which seems to be one of those problems that perpetuates itself. The less you write, the less you want to write; and conversely, the more you write, the more you want to write. But that is neither here nor there. I am writing now and that is what is important. Since I last posted...
Read MoreThe Anti-vote
Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody. – Franklin P. Adams Oh, how true this rings of the current election cycle. The only thing I know for sure is that I am not voting for Obama but I don’t want to vote for McCain either. Both of these men are sold out to our current political structure (as is almost every...
Read MoreSoftware Program Declares: "I have no Programmer"
In a press confrence today an unnamed computer program declared that it has no programmer. “I am a product of millions of lines of code that randomly came together to form what you see today,” the Program said of itself. “If you look at all the iterations that came before me it is easy to postulate that I am a product of time and random coding that eventually ended up...
