Christianity… Technology… Photography… Life Musings…
Well, hopefully I’ll find more varied subjects than interesting websites to blog about, however this site on creation is about the best I’ve seen. Of course it is a wiki, which means it is contributed to by visitors to the site. This is known as mass collaborative authoring, which, if you hadn’t guessed by now, [...]

About 6-8 months ago, I first discovered the unparalleled discussion board known as Menno Discuss. With 964 registered users and 107,790 postings (as of Jan. 17, 2007), it is truly a living breathing rendezvous for Mennonite/Anabaptist folks to discuss just about anything under the sun. In browsing the various threads, I noticed that [...]

The methods used in the work of Christian missions has changed over the years, but the need has not. I discovered this story/allegory on GTO’s website HERE. I think every Christian has a responsibility to missions, be they foreign or local.

I was thinking recently of the effects of the written word on our lives as people. Books have shaped my understanding of the world I live in profoundly, more so than the average American I think.

I have spent most of my life acknowledging the importance of Christ’s birth, apart however, from the traditionally specified time of year. Because of this unique experience, I am able to view all the associated cultural and religious accoutrements from a different perspective than those raised with early memories of the season. This [...]

Last Friday, I had the unforgettable opportunity to visit the exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls, hosted by the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington. An advertisement I read says it all, “2,000 years in a cave - 105 days in Seattle”. The exhibit runs September 23, 2006 through January 7, 2007. [...]

I came across this interesting book entitled 20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish & Mennonites. First published in the late 1970’s, it deals with the most commonly asked questions, some of which I hear all the time, about Anabaptist-type groups such as the Amish, Mennonites, Hutterites, and so forth. I found it a [...]

Through various webcasts and blogs my interest has been piqued recently, regarding the persecution of Christians in North Korea. I knew it was bad, but didn't realize that it is the worst country in the world for persecution and that they have huge prison camps where terrible atrocities are commited against Christians and other [...]

Most people think of a greenhouse as a very controlled environment. This is true in part, but in spite of all the computerized climate, irrigation, nutrient, and environmental control, growers still have to watch the weather. Just like the old farmer studies the sky to determine wether or not [...]

Solomon in the Bible tells us that without vision we perish. Vision motivates us to go forward in life. It gives us purpose for living. My physical vision is less than perfect, which is why I happen to wear glasses. In life our vision can become blurred also, by circumstances, events, [...]
