My uncle went home to see Jesus 13 years ago and I still remember the funeral sermon. These notes were collected at the time, and I thought it best to share now since I have recently uncovered a lost blog post. Most of what you read here was written at…

Supernatural
I’ve been reading through Supernatural by Michael Heiser and it is incorporating into my Macro Theology, which is my term used in partnership with the concept of worldview. I have read about 2/3 of the book so far and have enjoyed it immensely! My wife read it first, and has…
Looper was a Molinist’s Action Movie
I watched the movie Looper on Netflix the other day. It was my first time seeing the 2012 film, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, and Emily Blunt. The premise is that in the near future there are hitmen working for the mob who kill people who don’t exist. In the…
Archeological Blog Posts
My Christianity and my blogging are intertwined. In 2002, I had an interest in web development and started a website of my own to house my HTML hacking and learning. Trying to come up with a name was the hardest part of it, and I sat with a cup of…
The Grief of Knowing
I’m still coming to terms with just how evil these last two years have been, based on the Project Veritas information among others. It’s like I can’t handle it all at once so I contemplate different aspects at different times. I suppose it is a lot like going through the…
Gab is the ONLY Free Speech Network
That may be, but GabTV is not poised to replace Rumble, let alone YouTube. At least not yet. Right now Gab is focused on growing and adding in GabPay and the Marketplace. Once that is in place, and local buying and selling is included, video needs to be the next…
Pick Your Battles

Social Media Year in Review
Back when I was on Facebook, I had been getting tired of the whole thing. You know, people defining whether you liked one another based on whether you were connected through FB. People showing only their best side and not being authentic. It all seemed so superficial, and I posted…
Oh, Holy Night
Imagine with me, if you will, what it was like when Christ was born. It had been over 400 years since any prophet from God had been heard, reminding some of the length of time their ancestors had labored in the slavery of Egypt. God had not been present among…
Churches, it is (past) time to begin or expand your support of homeschooling
In every church I’ve ever been a part of, there is a ceremony where a young child is presented before the Lord. Some churches baptize babies, some have dedications. I’m not here to debate that one. Either way, the children are presented, the parents vow to raise the children in…
