What Terraforming Mars taught me about cleaning my house
One of our new favorite boardgames recently has been Terraforming Mars. Players are competing mega-corporations, buying projects and building assets to raise the temperature of Mars to a livable range, increase the oxygen in its atmosphere, and install oceans on the surface. Each incremental improvement of Mars increases the company's income each ( Read more... ) -

Convictions and why I am Baptist
A pastor I didn't like but agreed with on a lot gave a sermon once on Convictions, Beliefs, and Preferences, that has shaped a lot of my thinking about denominations at a foundational level. It's sometimes surprising to run into people who do not sort out their thoughts on things in this way. It's also hard to define the different levels without ( Read more... ) -

Empire building, tech researching and flying big fleets of ships at other people's big fleets of ships and rolling dice until most of them are asploded. I'd be interested in seeing if we could make ( Read more... ) -
Haunting Grove City
We met with the pastor of COPC last night, which was really fun. He helped us move furniture, took a real interest in how we'd gotten to where we were, and made it clear that the church would be very accepting of our different opinions as long as we were willing to teach according to the Reformed faith. ("Our congregation is mostly a-mil, but we do ( Read more... )
