Some have asked who is going to be taking my place at IBEX. The answer is Abner Chou. Abner was not an IBEX semester student, but has distinguished himself in so many other ways that I’m not going to try to count or list them. His wife, Johanna (Dobos) Chou, was an IBEX student some… Read More »
I don’t know if any of my readers would be able to help me, or point me in the direction of help. I have a rather large (120kb) js file for a webpage sidebar menu that takes a long time to load (15 sec), but it’s not an issue of download speed. I don’t know… Read More »
Not long ago I was talking to some friends who went to a non-accredited college, and I made a comment to the effect no one should go to a non-accredited school. A degree from such a school will not be accepted at an accredited school, so you have to “re-do” the degree in order to do… Read More »
Today was an important day for us, with our desire to find a good church before looking for a home. For those who don’t know Dallas or large metropolitan areas, this is important because you could easily live thirty minutes or more away from church.

I have what I think is a pretty good idea. But I bring it before this distinguished forum to have it shot full of holes and left for dead. This idea came to me today as I was driving on the highways of Israel. Perhaps it would not be applicable in countries like the U.S.… Read More »
In case you forgot, that sale at Desiring God is today and tomorrow. A lot of people had the same idea as me, and you can see a list of others who recommend various Piper favorites at the DG blog. The author of most of these books himself weighs in on why it’s a bad… Read More »
An opinion piece today in the Jerusalem Post, by Michael Freund: Once upon a time, and it truly seems like it was a very long time ago, the State of Israel knew how to take swift and decisive action in order to protect its citizens and punish its foes. I know, dear reader, that may… Read More »
On Sunday night, I took the boys to see the first-ever professional baseball game in Israel. The “league” has six teams and three fields and they’ll play 45 games each in the next couple of months. The atmosphere was decidedly American – even the announcer was calling it in English. Most Israelis don’t understand baseball… Read More »
