Category: Misc Stuff

I met a guy at work a few weeks ago named Erich Bridges. Turns out he is a big writer for the International Mission Board (and other publications too). Here is a link to a good article of his that was recently published in Baptist Press about the size of houses in America.

Here is a link to another blog with some good discussion on the topic.

My sister sent me this link today. It looks cool. At first, I thought it was Cooking Foreigners, Anyway, enjoy!

Have an analytical mind? Like to cook? This is the site to read!

Our trip to the Outer Banks got me thinking about GTMO and what the beaches were like there. Anyway, it has been almost 20 years since my dad was stationed in GTMO. I was in the 3rd grade then. I’m sure I have lots of good pics. Once I find them, I’ll post them. If you were in GTMO 85-86, drop me a line. My contact information can be found here.

Regular readers will notice I added a new category–Verses. I started it as a place to store and share verses (or chapters) that just hit me. I hope you enjoy them too.

Are labs the most popular breed of dog? I don't know. I do know that I had a Lab/German Sheperd growing up, and she was a great dog. Anyway, here is a link to the article:

Why Americans love Labrador retrievers

Not too long ago, Labrador retrievers were considered a tad exotic. In the 1950s, the sporty mid-size breed was a suburban rarity, popular mainly among upper-crust Anglophiles who liked the idea of owning a dignified hunting dog. Today, however, Labs are the Levi's jeans of purebred dogs. They've topped the American Kennel Club's list of registered canines for 12 years straight. And not just topped, but dominated: The number of registered Labs is nearly three times the number of golden retrievers, the second most popular dog on the list.

 

Blogging the Fifth Nail is claimed by many to be the blog of Joseph Edward Duncan III (the guy who kidnapped the kids in Utah). Anyway, I was drawn to it just to see for myself. I read then first post and saw that there were TONS of comments. I decided to take a look.

The comments were full of hate. Yes, what he did was wrong. We shouldn't condone it. But God still loves this man. God knew 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000, 2000, 5000 years ago what was going to happen. He still sent His Son to die on the cross because He loved this man. We need to figure out how to convey love without condoning what people do. God loves people and so should we.

Sorry for getting lax in my blogging lately. Cyndi and I just moved, and I've been busy with that and a few other things. Hopefully, over the next few weeks it will get better. I know it's no fun reading a blog that never changes.

Ok…what do you call that sweet brown (or other color) carbonated beverage? I call it pop. Other people call it soda. Yet others call it all coke.

I thought this was neat and thought I would pass it along.
