The scenes showing on the news of the tornado in Oklahoma are just heart breaking. As a child growing up in Texas, I only experienced one tornado while I was at school, and it was nothing like these poor little ones have gone through. We got a commentary up on tomorrowsworld.org and lcg.org on the … Continue reading
I’m still working to make up time and tasks after being gone for the (uplifting!) COE meetings last week, but this bit of news caught my eye. ForeignPolicy.com included in their daily Middle East briefing an excerpt from The Cairo Review of Global Affairs article “Salafism’s March through North Africa” including this excerpt from the … Continue reading
I’m not even going to pretend that I will be able to blog every day this week about the Council of Elders meetings. With my Living University Final Paper and Final Exam still to be completed by 3AM Friday morning, a sermonette to prep for this Sabbath, and an article to write and submit for the Tomorrow’s … Continue reading
Well, being home lasted a little while! Currently, Beautiful Wife and I are on our way to Charlotte for the spring Council of Elders meeting. (Don’t worry, she’s driving right now, so I can thumb-type safely to my heart’s content…) I really enjoy Council meetings, and while I don’t know how long I will be … Continue reading

Well, time to eat some crow… I sit here in a hotel in Akron, looking forward to the Spokesman Club Ladies Event tomorrow morning, and typing this blog post on my new iPad using a wireless keyboard. My negative feelings about the iPad (I quote my first review in full: “Bleh. It’s just a giant … Continue reading
I know it’s odd for me to post twice in one day, and I wouldn’t want to divert anyone from the theological musings in “Married Bachelors and Instant Character” but this comment I read in an WSJ opinion piece really struck me as a fantastic summary of the current state of the American military: “History … Continue reading
During my walking routine these days as I work on Wally v.3.0, I enjoy an occasional podcast from reasonablefaith.org which often discusses apologetics issues of the day. I may not always agree with everything Dr. Craig says, but it is still an interesting resource and has provoked some interesting discussion with my wife on long trips. One … Continue reading
What a wonderful time I had taping a new Tomorrow’s World program today! I’m not sure when it will air, though I know there is a lag of a few months, and I have three “in the can” now that have not yet been completed in post-processing for broadcasting. Actually, it feels wonderfully strange for … Continue reading
