More church signs. These two were at the same church on two consecutive weeks: YOU HAVE NEVER FORGIVEN ANYONE AS MUCH AS GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOU PEOPLE ONLY LOOK AT YOUR OUTSIDE, BUT GOD LOOKS AT YOUR HEART I see some similarity between these – a common theme of labeling all people shallow and ascribing [...]

I can be against you
Time to mock another church sign. This one’s not technically a church sign – it’s outside a small engine repair shop. But this place always has religious messages on its sign. Which is one reason I drive to the next town if I need a small engine repair. But I digress. IF GOD IS FOR [...]
Are you crazy?
Today I was noticing bumper stickers as I was driving home from work. One guy had the Darwin Fish being swallowed by the Truth Fish. (Actually they’re not completely swallowed; it looks more like the Darwin Fish is caught in the Truth Fish’s throat. Which makes sense, really; the Jesus Fish crowd does kind of [...]
Customer service goes to pot
Friday I finally pulled the trigger on a purchase I’ve been wanting to make for a long time. I bought new cookware. Good stuff – Calphalon Tri-Ply, which is their competitive product to All-Clad’s professional products. Twelve-piece set, I think it came to about $300 after the outlet mall discount coupon was applied. The conversation [...]
Knowledge or virtue?
The discussion of the last post turned pretty quickly to the Genesis story, and it’s been making me think about that for a while. I went back and read the opening of Genesis to make sure I wasn’t mixing up what it actually says with what people tend to think it says. First thing I [...]
It’s magic
Howdy again, folks. I suppose I ought to change the name of the blog to something not containing the word “daily,” especially now that I have a new gig occupying a lot of my time. It’s been ten days since I posted. Sorry about that; I hope you’re all still out there. Today (well, yesterday, [...]
Everybody Draw Mohammed Day
Today is Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, wherein we strike a quixotic blow for free speech by drawing pictures of Mohammed in spite of muslims telling us we’re not allowed to. Here’s mine: I know, I know, an artistic endeavor worthy of Picasso. Or Art Frahm. And it only took three minutes to draw. Defending freedom [...]
Isn’t that special
I remember an embarrassing episode from years ago. I was at work, and I noticed a co-worker who seemed to have gotten a little bit of dirt on his face. So I pointed it out. “Hey Pete, you’ve got a smudge on your head. Right there.” He looked at me with that special expression reserved [...]
Baby philosophers
I recently had to attend the funeral of a child only 18 months old. (Yes, regular readers, it’s the same kid.) Funerals are always tough but it’s particularly hard to look at a tiny toddler in a tiny coffin and be able to hold it together. Little children are so helpless. This is probably why [...]
What a tool
Anyone who has ever read a handyman magazine, watched television, or shopped at a hardware or discount store knows about the amazing new multi-purpose tool. I don’t have any specific product in mind, just the category in general. You can find advertisements for such things going back a hundred years in back issues of magazines [...]
