I sometimes feel that some people believe an argument from scripture is more likely to be true if the result is, well, ugly. Within the reformed tradition, this approach seems to find particular resonance in discussions of worship. We know that God desires true worshippers, those who will worship him in spirit and in truth. But I feel some are biased toward reading spirit and truth as antithetical to beauty.
Mavs 5 and 1
Five and One. I suppose if you haven’t lived in Dallas for the past 8 years it doesn’t make your jaw drop…
Harry Potter
Is ‘Harry Potter’ by the book? I’ll admit I’m planning to see the Harry Potter movie at some point, but I haven’t read any of the books and am curious if folks thought they were a worthwhile read.
All systems go
Okay, everything seems to be in good working order. Comments, archives, it’s all up and running.
Switching to dotcomments
I am switching to dotcomments for my feedback. It stores the comments locally, so even if it doesn’t provide an elegant interface, at least I will have some control over the comments. Seems prudent. However, it will probably be a short time until I work out the kinks. Right now, it insists on claiming their are 22 comments against any post that has no comments.
Reblogger is down
Reblogger seems to be down… send me an email if it you know it is working and I’ve simply goofed up the code on my page.
Dallas Mavs 3 and 1
Only four games in and Dirk delivers the third win of the season. Go back to 1998 and the Mavs only won 20 out of 82 games… it’s a turn-around reminiscent of the Cowboys in the early 90’s.
Thoughts on blogs
What strange creatures, these blogs. Out of the impersonal medium of the web comes this weirdly revealing format of exposing one’s thoughts to the public. Perhaps its no different than the games played all along in the chat rooms (“hi. i’m skeletor, pay me homage!”). The blog captures a reflection of that which one wants to reflect, a revealing display in and of itself.
