Things I Come Across

By | April 6, 2008

This blog continues its descent into worthlessness and frivolousness.  Oh, wait. Was it ever anything other?

It’s not just us moving to Dallas; everyone is!  

An incredible statistic: About 56 percent of adults bought books last year.  So what did the rest of them spend their money on???

The title of the book is The Manasseh Hill Country Survey.  Three appendices in the table of contents are entitled “…the Massaneh Hill Country Survey.”  Oops! (Does this tip you off to what I’ve been reading lately?)

I’m not suing anyone.  For those who knew about the falafel stand that I was thinking of taking to court, they paid me and so I won’t get an opportunity to practice my litigation skills.

If you’ve never thanked the Lord that engineers know how to test bridges for wind-induced vibrations, you might after watching this!

Shopping tip of the week: If you’re looking to build your Libronix (Logos) library with some decent books for real cheap, take a look at the Baker Digital Reference Library here, but order it here for $10 (until 4/19).

I finished the paper on Jehu without mentioning Jesus even once.  I present the paper to the class on Friday.  Now I’m working on a paper on where the pigs drowned (G/G/G).  I bet you’re impressed with how my doctorate program focuses on the most important things in life!

    Wow, Todd, you do come across some interesting things. I do thank the Lord for engineers…I have been across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge many times. It’s amazing what the Lord had gifted men to do with concrete and wire. I always enjoy reading your blog…it makes me not miss you guys so much. I guess change is a part of life though. I don’t even want to think about the fact that I only have 37 more days in Israel. Thanks for keeping up the blog.

    I’m glad the kerfuffle with Mr. Falafal is settled.

    As much as I know, I’m not moving to Dallas, but I am wearing my Cowboys sweatshirt as I type this.

    The sermon this morning was on Mark 5:1-20 and I got the giggles when I thought of the term “swine dive”. You really shouldn’t do that to us.

    Todd, how’s things coming on finding where the pigs drowned? I would love to see your new research on that! I know Charlie Dyer teases Bill S about putting the story at the ostrich farm 6 miles from the coast, therefore dying of heat exhaustion! :-) Appreciate you, Todd!
