Random Theological thoughts…
With all of the things going on in my life, it is easy for me to be blinded to the things that God is trying to show me through my day to day routine. With the arrival of Remmy Rozaland McNamara, I feel the need to slow down and look at the things around me. Remmy started things off with the pondering, did she take her first breath? or did she say the name of God? Next, I threw a polemic out on Facebook chastising all of us, for feel good (lead by Hollywood) giving to Haiti. I had to explain to ...
Why I am more libertarian…

My thoughts on Climategate
I was going to write something longer, but the video from Canadian Broadcasting Company sums up my ideas. My position has always been that the science, based on model predictions is not complete and that the physics incorporated in the models while always getting better will not emulate the world perfectly.

I also think that don't practice good stewardship, and when God said to ...
A New Blog to Read!
I stumbled upon this blog, after I friended this person on Facebook. I was puzzled at first, thinking don't I know this person? The writing style seems oddly familiar. Oh yeah, it's my dad. He actually started a couple of new blogs recently. This one is his recollection of stories that start when he was a junior in high school. This post was really cool, as he tells how he and Mom met. The summer of 1961 and how “we” met. « The secret thoughts of a country kid.
Fair Use What Does It Entail?
Earlier tonight, my wife began posting some videos of our daughter in a school play. In fact, I wanted to create a post of the play list to show here as well. However, someone from the school saw them and asked her if she would take them down so the school doesn't get into trouble with the Rogers and Hammerstein Organization who licenses the performances. My wife had gone to bed, and since they were on her Facebook account, I couldn't take them down. However, I thought this would fall under fair use for what we had done? Don't get me wrong, ...

Why Church? – Real World Parents
Youth Specialties has a web site that is meant to help parents of teenagers called Real World Parents. As a step parent of a couple of teens and a couple of young adults, I try to read up on these things. I also look into this, so that I can pass along information to other parents, since I am also a leader in our churches youth ministry. I think this... [Read more of this review]
