My Trek 7000 Bicycle and the first ride of 2008
Such a glorious day deserved a bike ride. It was great out, sunny, warm with a slight breeze. The weather in Omaha has been so crappy lately that I looked forward to today so I could take my bike out.
It was a good ride and I covered 10 miles round trip on the [...]
Iran and the War On Porn…
Absolutely amazing. Our friendly Iranians have decided that being part of the porn industry warrants a death sentence. Now, I have to agree that the prevalence of pornography has definitely had an impact on society and the world-at-large. The sheer volume of publications, television shows and Internet sites related to sex is [...]
Psalm 35:1-3
I randomly flipped open my Bible to Psalm 35:1-3 intending to blog about whichever Godly-inspired word my eyes saw first.
Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.

Good Friday
To everyone, I wish you a Good Friday of remembrance. I hope that I can truly embrace Good Friday for what the day truly means. The day that the Son of God was punished for the sins of mankind. The day that hope was given to those who believe in their heart [...]

Romans 8:31(ESV) What then shall we say to these [...]
Update To Lent…
Getting up at 530 is hard after not having done it regularly in the last several years. I felt that I’ve accomplished more, but I do get tired earlier, which I had not predicted as being significant. Staying up past 10:00pm so far has made me fatigued, and getting up the next day was a [...]
How To Look Religiously Ignorant…
I was reading through Digg today and came across the following image.
Now coming from a military home, as well as a Christian home, I tried to look at this editorial letter as open-minded as possible. There are several ways to look at the letter, and reading between the lines there are many interpretations or [...]
Systematic Theology…
Tonight I attended my first Systematic Theology class at Coram Deo. I enjoy learning and Biblical study is enjoyable to me. I like learning about the Old Testament and how it applies to Christ and the New Testament. The history of the Bible really appeals to me and makes religion more rich [...]
Bible Translations
There’s been a lot of talk over the years, to this today, about errancy in the Bible as well as which is the best translation to use. Logically one can assume that numerous translations of the Bible detract from it’s accuracy and from the true meaning of the verses.
Mark Driscoll, leader pastor [...]
