A Beggar At The Table

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

No, not to you, the readers, but to my beloved Ottawa Senators, who have sadly bowed out of the playoffs. They put up a valiant effort but were repelled at the last minute by a Penguins team who simply wanted it more.

Can’t wait for training camp in September…

Congrats Kelly!

My beautiful, intelligent, and talented wife had two of her posts picked as “Blog of the Week” simultaneously by Jeff and Todd of Issues Etc—go check her blog out to see what she’s been doing lately.

Anti-heretic posts

April 20th, 2010

It’s been a *really* long time since I posted one, but I have one in the works. Hopefully it’ll be done soon. Lots of other irons in the fire, but I’ve got a nasty headcold at the moment (I know it’s not just allergies because I’m on my meds for those) and I don’t feel much up to visiting around.

So maybe, just maybe, I’ll add content here soon. Maybe. Once my taxes are done, that is.

On Michael Spencer’s passing

April 7th, 2010

I must admit, I am not the biggest Internet Monk fan in the interwebs, but I did enjoy reading his site from time to time (and no offense meant to Chaplain Mike, but he’s not the same).

It is sad to consider death, but that too is the reality of a world busted by sin. Death wins, or so it seems. Regardless how rich or poor, wise or foolish, young or old, famous or anonymous you may be or may consider yourself to be, all die.

Death is not the end, though, for those in Christ, and from what I knew of Mr. Spencer through his writings, I have full confidence that he is now with his Lord Jesus enjoying eternity. That’s all we really need to know. Death might look like it wins, but because Jesus is raised from the dead we too shall be raised. Death doesn’t win. Death will lose, and, in fact, death itself will be destroyed at the end. That’s good news to consider in a time of mourning.
