Today was Evangeline’s softball party for the end of the season.
Here she is in uniform.

Calvin was tired (they are all tired) so most of his pictures are rather down. I did get one action shot when he was charging me as I snapped the picture:

After eating in the school gym, we went out and [...]

In keeping with my observation on the Kevin MD post about Google and their health advisors, I notice this observation regarding the iPhone:
It is in some ways astonishing that AT&T and Apple are partners at all. AT&T is the oldest of the old school—the most ancient major high-tech firm in the United States, founded in [...]

I mentioned ealier Witsius’ “purple prose” in writing to King William. Here’s what I mean. Referring to an event in which it was thought that the King had been killed in battle but had, in fact, only suffered a wound, Witsius writes:
O! the wisdom and goodness of propitious heaven! O! a [...]

Since the PCA’s 2007 General Assembly, by approving the report, did something that was egregiously unconstitutional (pass sentence on the doctrinal orthodoxy PCA ministers without due process), contrary to the Westminster Standards (by approving a report that mistated their doctrine), and against the Word of God (by preferring a human council as the final appeal [...]

Frankly, this article scares me.
Allen was a 23-year-old grad student at UC Berkeley in 1968 when he met a psychic named Michael who said he owed Allen a karmic debt over a past-life transgression. Michael began teaching him karate and sharing Zen concepts such as “mind like water. ” (It means that just as a [...]

“Going beyond the confession is actually the way to be confessional.”
The pastor seems to be going against the momentary tide.  Everyone is saying that to not go beyond the confession as actually the way to be Biblical.

He means that Christ is denied, when they who had been redeemed by his blood, become again the vassals of the Devil, and thus render void as far as they can that incomparable price.

“One of the complaints of Federal Vision advocates is that they didn’t get a fair shake at the General Assembly.”
Where does this stuff come from? Nothing was done wrong at the Assembly debate. But there could be no “fair shake.” A stacked committee produced a report full of falsehoods (i.e statements about the [...]

Jennifer published an update.  I’ll be leaving at six in the morning to get the three kids, if they haven’t been eaten by bears yet or anything.

OK, I’m late, but I finally figured out why Scalzi is a popular blogger. His post on Today’s Example of an Egregious Use of Something a Writer Once Learned in a Freshman Philosophy Course was completely hysterical and quite right. His target is the claim that movies and philosophies should be labeled homo-erotic [...]

I was asked to teach a blogging 101 seminar at a local community college.  Most of it was just leading the participants through a Wordpress process.  But below is what I wrote down for myself to talk about.
1. What is a Blog and what is Blogging.
A blog is a web log, a journal of some [...]

I post this because I think it shows how strange we become to ourselves. Do you notice that the singer is the only one without a tie. What was the dress code and why was he exempt?
This took place fewer than five years before I was born but [...]

From one of John Calvin’s sermons on Deuteronomy, Sermon 33, 5:11, p., 196.:
Behold our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory, abased himself for a time, as says S. Paul Now if there were no more but this, that he being the fountain of life, became a mortal man, and that he having dominion over [...]

I don’t think we get G4 any more and this posting does not constitute an admission that I occasionally watch it about games whose platforms I cannot afford…

I realize we probably all need to get used to saying “Madam President,” but at least we have [...]

The ordinances are called the ordinary means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption, because the Lord hath not wholly limited and bound up himself unto his ordinances; for he can in an extraordinary way bring some out of a state of nature into a state of grace; as Paul, who was converted [...]
