Okay, so 61% of GM is now owned by the US government. The news also reports this morning that GM hopes to streamline its bureaucratic management structure. Okay. Good luck with that! Didn’t you get the news that the fed now owns you? They specialize in bureaucracy. Indeed, they may have invented it. They’re also [...]
Give the folks at Lucky Bamboo a break next Sunday. Every time that child screamed you could see everyone in the restaurant wince. We’re willing to put up with quite a bit but come on! …an hour of yelling and screaming!? Why is it that some parents think making the “shhhhhhsh” sound really loud will [...]
I did some brick work at the new house today. I’ve never done something like that or even watched it done by someone else. Still, it came out okay and was satisfying work too. It was a patch job where a coal shute door had been—roughly 3 x 4 and two bricks thick. Next time [...]

A Character Study of Gideon Gideon follows Deborah (Jdg 4:1-5:31) in the list of Judges. Our first encounter with Gideon (Jdg 6:11-8:35) has him involved in an agricultural pursuit that shows the need for “judgment” in Israel. He is covertly threshing wheat so the Midianite oppressors will not notice there is produce to confiscate. One [...]
I am always intrigued by biblical references that talk about being in the presence of the Lord—and wanting to stay there. Ps 23:6b leaps to mind. Not only did David want to dwell in the house of the Lord but he wanted to dwell there “forever.” The imagery of the sheep dwelling with the shepherd [...]
