Lunch And Hurricanes
Lunch was at a Tai restaurant. It bothers me somewhat to be in a place like that, filled with pictures and images of gods and goddesses. There’s even a dish of food left out as an offering for the gods. However, perhaps it’s no different than going to a Wal-Mart, Publix, or some other supermarket where they have disgusting pictures and magazines ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Another normal, uneventful day has come and gone. The conversations at work are sometimes thought-provoking and enriching, though. Heidi, one of my co-workers, is an amazingly sharp and knowledgeable Christian. We often get into these interesting conversations partly because of her. I really respect her. She was delivered from the “New Age” ( Read more... ) -

How Should We Judge Music?
Here’s a question that has perplexed me my entire life: What standards can we use for judging the morality and quality of music? (It's important to me, because I love to listen to music, and I want to be sure that it's good music.) Many people consider music (minus lyrics) to be amoral, but I’m an absolutist and believe that there is only black ( Read more... ) -
Work
Yesterday, my boss, Don Gillespie, and I had a meeting with a client named American Louvered Products (ALP), which is a shutter manufacturing company that I do a lot of work for. Don, as he has in the past, brought Publix donuts to the meeting, almost like a peace offering for an employee of ALP, Cam Whipple. That’s fine with me, because we all ( Read more... ) -
Real Journal Entry
Okay, it's time I wrote a normal journal entry about the gist of what happened today (Saturday), though there's not much to tell, really. All right, here I go. I started the day out with--guess what--LJ’ing. It’s too much fun already! Let’s see ... more LJ’ing. ... I’ve been debating whether or not I ever ate breakfast today. (Korina, that’s ( Read more... ) -
What About Iraq?
I'm curious, what do you all think about the U.S. getting out of Iraq? Should we stay indefinitely, stay awhile longer, or leave now?
Though I understand the reasons we're there, I'm of the opinion that we need to set a deadline not long from now to withdraw--I'm talking weeks. -
Controversy...
:) BTW, I’d also like to meet people who disagree with me. I’m all for healthy, civilized debates--mostly Biblically-centered debates. Controversy is fine, in my opinion, as long as it doesn’t become a stumbling block or point of unnecessary division ( Read more... ) -
Finally Joined LiveJournal
Well, I’ve seen enough. My sister Missy uses LiveJournal (as one or two words?) all the time, and from what I’ve seen it looks fun, if not addicting. I don’t have a lot of free time, so my entries will probably be few and concise, but I look forward to meeting some likeminded folks and sharing ideas/thoughts, etc ( Read more... )
