On a recent post on Frank Schaeffer, the son of the famed Francis Schaeffer, I posted the reply below as part of my reminiscences about Francis Schaeffer and becoming a culture warrior. As I have re-read it, I realize that it is, of course, incomplete. But, perhaps I will post it here as well, and […]
Please be careful this New Year’s Eve
More Comment Graphics Yes, this is a rough graphic. I meant for it to be a rough graphic. I looked for a rough graphic on the Internet, one that I could reprint here. Too many of our high school and college youth think it is funny to end up completely wasted. They do not see […]
Link spasm
I learned a new term today, “Link Spam.” The title of this post is a deliberate misspelling so that people searching for information on the subject would not accidentally link here expecting something else. It started this way, I have a very handy WordPress plug-in called Akismet. It is also available free for other platforms, […]
Remember Real Life
None of us spend full-time blogging. We all relate to the world outside our house, outside our windows. Sometimes, however, in the midst of our blogging, in the midst of our disputes, we tend to forget that most of the people with whom we are involved neither know nor care about the things that seem […]
I miss Advent
I miss Advent. Yes, the Orthodox have Advent, but it did not develop the multitude of rich traditions that the West did. In every culture into which Christianity has travelled, local traditions have developed that enrich the local Christian culture. To put it another way, there is no such thing as a “culture-less” Christianity. That […]
Imperfect people do great deeds
“I don’t confuse greatness with perfection . . . all great deeds have been accomplished out of imperfection.” I am a fantasy and science fiction fan in my reading-for-relaxation. I love going to other worlds that imagine other realities. Today–for Monday is my day off–I read the following quote: “‘Are you saying that no matter […]
Gandalf, my priest friend, and what awaits
Pippin: I didn’t think it would end this way. Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path… One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass… And then you see it. Pippin: What? Gandalf?… See what? Gandalf: White shores… […]
Follow-up on the Three Laws of Robotics
When I wrote about the Three Laws of Robotics, I wrote about it as a fond memory of a series of books that I began to read as a child and continued to read through adulthood, as Isaac Asimov kept writing more books. His I, Robot series, his Foundation and Empire series, and his later developments of […]
And the bishop cried
Have you ever heard a bishop cry? I do not mean the crocodile tears that some pastors seem to be able to drop on cue. I mean, the honest release of emotion that expresses our deep inner feelings. No, most of us have not. The last two days have again delayed my planned blogging, but given […]
The Three Laws of Robotics, answers
Here are the answers to my “Three Laws of Robotics” quizz in a previous post. I have not forgotten or ignored some of the questions yet to be answered, however, Thanksgiving, heading into the weekend have kept me quite well occupied. I should be able to get back to them this coming week. They deserve […]
