Saturday, August 27th, 2005From the Marion Star newspaper (Ohio), 8/26/05: “Caleb of the Bible gave his life entirely and completely to God. … It wasn’t until he was 85 years old that he finally received his inheritance of land and was rewarded for remaining true to God’s command and promise. Caleb Stevens received his inheritance in heaven in [...]
We’re outta here
Friday, August 26th, 2005Finally, we’re going on vacation. After a pitstop this weekend in Mass for Willie’s 9th birthday, Diana, Judah and I are flying to Disney World on Sunday! I can’t promise much in the way of blogging before Labor Day, but who knows?
Nonna’s powerpoint online
Friday, August 26th, 2005Thanks to my “virtual” friend Bob Campbell. (We’ll actually meet one day soon, I hope, after corresponding online for almost a year!) Bob is hosting it on his personal website for a month or so, here. There may still be a glitch with the sound (does anyone kow how to embed the music directly into [...]
As the Spirit moves you …
Friday, August 26th, 2005Newsweek, for one, is noticing. And writing about it on the cover. One of the paradoxes: Whatever is going on here, it’s not an explosion of people going to church. The great public manifestations of religiosity in America todayâ€â€the megachurches seating 8,000 worshipers at one service, the emergence of evangelical preachers as political power brokersâ€â€haven’t [...]
Virginity at 40: an object of scorn
Friday, August 26th, 2005“The 40-Year-Old Virgin” skewers the idea that a self-respecting 40-year-old would willingly remain a virgin. Yet audiences made it tops at the box office last weekend with a $20.6 million debut and critics have praised it as “the best comedy of the summer.” Consider CNN’s glowing review: ‘The 40 Year-Old Virgin’ is, hands down, the [...]
Free online disk space?
Wednesday, August 24th, 2005Any tips on acquiring free online disk space for storing and sharing large files? I want to post the slideshow I did for Nonna’s funeral (20-25mb .ppt file) for a month or so, so family can download it.

Put a sock in it
Wednesday, August 24th, 2005Hat tip to Tony on this one. In order to save money and eliminate a “terrific danger” to our country, televangelist Dr. Pat Robertson said “covert operatives” should assassinate the president of Venezuela, even though assassinations are illegal and — some would argue — a violation of the 6th Commandment. He said this on his [...]
Bono (and Billy)’s DJ for hire
Wednesday, August 24th, 2005What do Billy Graham and Bono have in common, beyond status as global icons? They both hired DJ Kenny Mitchell for events in the same week last February. For Bono, it was the launch of his clothing company during Fashion Week in New York, and for Graham, it was the Square One breakfast in anticipation [...]
Yankees 7, Blue Jays 0
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005Xcel board member Wendell Moore hooked up 200 Xcel and Abounding Grace members with tickets to last night’s Yankees game. Great game! In his second game back from injury, Jaret Wright pitched 7 shutout innings; A-rod went 3 for 5 with his 100th RBI; and Hideki Matsui drove in 3 runs. Willie, Amber, and Judah [...]
