Some piles of garbage are better than others. But if you asked me which one I’d like to lie down in, I’d say, “None of them.” The answer should be the same when answering about which sort of politics should influence Christianity.
If one is observant he gets used to spotting things that oughtn’t be there, even if they are fairly small. I guess I’m observant, because the other night, as I sat on the dark brown couch in the dimly lit living room I noticed an inch-long mostly very dark brown insect on the couch a few inches away from me.

My congregation got a preview of a new show set in Biblical times. By the look of the clips, it could be a spinoff of The Chosen. There’s just one peculiar difference that makes all the difference, for good or ill.
Nuclear war was invented 80 years ago today. It was tried again three days later. Perhaps unfortunately, it worked.

When we learned Sunday of the death of Tom Lehrer, my reaction was that I suspect was that of many: He was still alive?
What would happen if you took the classic layout and look of the Model M and rebuilt it with modern mechanical guts? Vortex decided to find out and the result is a unique keyboard with one foot in two different decades. Passed up the Legend itself because it lacks too many modern comforts? Then read on for the Remix.
Were a list compiled of my manifold sins and wickedness, near the top of that very long list would be my affection for gadgets that I imagined I needed and therefore purchased. Usually it turned out I didn’t actually need them at all. Sometimes they did end up being useful, though none of them will be mentioned here.
This year’s version of The Championships still had the shadow of The Big Three (Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic) lurking over it, though only Djokovic remains. Indeed, Djokovic made it all the way to a semifinal, before succumbing to his opponent, and an injury sustained in the previous round. The manner of his dismissal suggests the future of men’s tennis is now.
