In coffee shop working (or will be soon). Garret is wearing his clerical collar but I forgot to pack mine.
Sorry so boring; go here for some entertainment.

Biz is looking up. But now I’m visiting Christ Church Santa Clarita as well as doing work for clients. As you can see, I’m having many adventures.

Term stolen here.
It is not so much that blogging takes too much time as that reading or being on the web as a blogger wastes too much time. I’m not sure how often I’ll get to post in the near future….
Despite recent accolades for this blog’s popularity (or notoriety), I decided to get rid [...]

Another great Calvin quotation blogged by Gabe:
Our supposed denial is a fiction of his own mind. Since I’ve already clearly asserted that men are regenerated by baptism just as they are by the word.
I’ve heard contemporary Calvinists say that the sacraments work like the Word.  But I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean it that way.

Gabe posted a beautiful quoatation from Calvin’s Antidote to the Council of Trent:
We assert that the whole guilt of sin is taken away in baptism, so that the remains of sin still existing are not imputed […] There is a twofold grace in baptism, for therein both remission of sins and regeneration are offered to [...]

Or maybe I just have ODD and need to be medicated.

I’ve done well enough at my business to keep going at it. But it has been weird. Of my regular work, there was a hiatus in January that meant I haven’t even been used yet by one client. My local part-time job cut my hours in half.
Yet all this could be good [...]

Here is what Geerhardus Vos said:
It is plain, then, that law-keeping did not figure at that juncture as the meritorious ground of [...]

In the pilot episode the show has a Robot head make it through the time shift even as it leaves the travelers without any clothes left.
How can I respect a show that has no respect for its fundamental premise?

I don’t think I can discount this as an accidental slip because I’ve read the same thing from theologians writing for official publication.
Machen meant that in the hour of our death it won’t be the dirty sins of commission that will haunt us. It will be the sins of omission. All the good [...]

This is fine, but any claims to inconsistency or surprise simply don’t make sense.
Entrepreneurs are looking for huge payoffs.  They want locked-in mass markets.  Microsoft will make exponentially more money convincing the UN that poor people need computers and should subsidize their distribution than they will selling their product to free people in a market [...]

Thankfully, my youngest daughter now wants to watch it. So I get to.
All the lessons I learned in a dark way from Frank Miller (and more) are taught with bright optimism (that doesn’t come across as escapist).
The world exiles its heroes and hates them.
The world will use the sins of heroes against them to [...]

I may be teaching a Sunday School class on politics and want to hammer home the importance of not dividing into different parties (whether associated with national politics or not).  So I’m bookmarking this.

Pretty good piece.

Unlike this blogger I do have a gripe about FOXNews, which I consider to be a condensation exclusively of all of Rush Limbaugh’s worst features, minus his talent.
But I still would have trusted the description of the game if she hadn’t set the record straight.
It always horrifies when I realize how shows I like are [...]

Paul writes this way three times.
First Corinthians 1.10
I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
Philippians 1.27-28a
Only let your manner of life be worthy of [...]

Proverbs 18.8; 26.22
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;

How do you react to fresh brownies coming out of the oven? Does your mouth water as your nose inhales the aroma of warm baking chocolate?
God’s wisdom says that passing on gossip is every bit [...]
