Baptism

Well. Once again I haven't been here in awhile. I need to post more often...

Will got baptized today. In the river. Pics:

Where have I been????

Holy hand grenades Batman, it's been nearly 3 months since I last posted!

I don't have much fiber related stuff to share. The socks from 3 months ago are pretty much my last FO's. I got sidetracked last week and bought some Noro Silk Garden and a Noro pattern book and started in on a cardigan. I have so many UF socks it's not even funny. I think I'm a little socked out for the time being.

I wish the weather would warm up. It's been chilly, cloudy and rainy the past week. The sun is finally trying to come out today. I have been so tired and sluggish from the yucky weather.

Oh well, summer will be here soon... In a few days, I'm off to Colorado Springs and Denver for 4 days or so. It's time to get out of town and do something fun.

New socks

Go Tony Stewart!



Sense and Sensibility (and Zombies!)

Slacker Truth

I love Fred Clark. Srsly. If he weren't already married, I'd propose to him. In his latest Left Behind (ok, Trib Force) deconstruction, he totally pwns LaHaye and Jenkins and RTC theology:

This reimagining or repackaging of the TF's mission seems to show that the authors recognize, on some level, that their normal concept of the Christian life isn't very exciting. ... LaHaye and Jenkins' version of life, mission and ministry is neither difficult nor adventurous.

It's pretty dull, actually, consisting mainly of sitting around praying and abstaining from a long list of things until finally Jesus comes back to get us before we die.

Even Jerry Jenkins seems to realize that prayer, compulsive abstention and lots of sitting around and waiting would make a lousy plot for a series of novels. I'm not sure he appreciates that it also makes a lousy plot for anyone's life story. As such, it also makes a lousy basis for evangelism. "Want to join us?" "Join you doing what?" "Um, well, not much of anything, actually." Not a compelling invitation.

In earlier posts this week, Fred addresses Young Earth Creationism. YEC is one of my personal peeves. Fred's peeved too. And dismayed. All I can say is, Fred articulates what's wrong with YEC far better than I ever could.

Posting this just because I can.

I knew that new Pepsi logo was lame...

... and apparently someone else thinks so too...
