Yesterday I read a book entitled The PC is Not a Typewriter. If you ‘re a nerd like me, you might enjoy it. The book was written in 1995, so I thought that it would be so out-dated and basic that I would have nothing to learn. But I was wrong. Some things are a… Read More »
If you were planning on going to TMC chapel on Nov 11 and 13 to hear from a remarkable servant of God, you should know that the plans have changed and he will not be there. Is this the future of shopping? If so, it might not be so bad. Volkswagen made some cool stairs… Read More »
This post is testimony that I survived 5th grade adventure camp. I did not, however, decide to make a career switch to camp counselor. Nor am I enrolling in certification courses to become a 5th grade teacher. I will teach the two that I have, and no more. Now I have two days at home… Read More »

Interesting who Facebook suggests to be my friend. Today it’s a theologian named Wayne. I didn’t know I traveled in such circles. It’s now 5770 on the Jewish calendar. Today I heard an Egyptologist give evidence that supports the biblical account of the exodus. After the last 9 days, I think the name of our… Read More »
Ramadan is a good time to remember to pray for Muslims. You can see some fantastic photos at The Big Picture. How do you not smile after a tennis shot like this? I thought it was interesting to see a 24-hour display of all commercial flights in the world. Great Jewish curse – may all… Read More »

How American Health Care Killed My Father – I read this (long) article because it was called the best article on the U.S. health care system and the insurance debate. I don’t know if it’s the best because I don’t read much on it, but I found it helpful. You have to know where the… Read More »
