“Rapture Ready!”

There was a great segment on “To the Best of Our Knowledge”, on NPR today. It’s very imforative about how outsiders see Christian Rock music. I also liked that Radosh seemed to really enjoy the Cornerstone Festival.
Here’s the blurb from the TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE website: Daniel Radosh is the author of “Rapture [...]

I heard the competition from the Department of Energy had ended, this morning. It’s pretty cool. I look forward to having a house off the grid some day.
The one thing for me is, I’m not big into modern/contemporary architecture. I understand about needing certain designs for efficiency’s sake. But to me, contemporary designs tend to [...]

**grimace**… that’s all there is… oh, and stop drinking milk!

the kind of waiter they all should be

So, I have to tell this story:
This evening my brother and I went to eat at one of the local spots – it has a burger madness on Sundays, so you can eat a good dinner really cheap. They also have the best veggie burgers ever! And yeah, I know that sounds like an oxymoron.
Anyway, [...]

light changes

I can see it happening. It’s staying darker later in the morning and becoming darker earlier at night.
I love it when I notice that change. Too me, it’s a good sign that summer is ending and fall is coming – YEAH!
I have no idea why, but this is about the time when I start waking [...]

house buying

I remember why I didn’t want to do this.
It’s like other types of shopping (which I would rather do through a computer screen), it looks good until you have to pay for it.
The image I usually associate with home buying is from the Cosby Show, when Elvin is signing away his life for the loan of [...]

digital TV – good or bad

I’m not the most advanced technology user. I don’t text, or use my phone to access the internet. My computer is adaquet not spectacular. I don’t pay for cable, or satilite.
So when tv went digital, I got a translator and then a basic tv that was digtal ready when my supposed “digital antenna” didn’t really [...]

slaughter horses

www.salon.com/env/feature/2009/06/30/horse_slaughter/index.html
I’m actually not sure about this. Part of me says that if it’s humane… even though I love horses. Over population of any species must be controlled some how… which leads me directly to humans, but that is another argument.
However, the article was right about (1) horse sensitivity. They aren’t as stupid as sheep and [...]

one of the things I don’t get

I read this article and was saddened.
The thing that gets me is the Christians are trying to take the burden of proof for something that isn’t even needed to be proved… it doesn’t even matter. Those that have eyes will see and those that don’t won’t.
Worse, to me, is I see the Christians as limiting [...]

way too hot!

I’m ready for winter again. Ready for cooling breezes, friendly sunshine – merciless – and not feeling as if I stepped into an oven when I walk outdoors.
Fall is just as good, once the heat has left.
The heat is just so oppressive. I feel as if I should be the bear that hibernates for the [...]
