World Record Base Jump
I have mixed feelings about this video of some guys jumping off the tallest building in the world.
One one hand, it’s against the law. On the other, I wish I had the guts to do something like this (I can’t get on top of the quantum leap.) Watching this is like watching Ocean’s Eleven. What [...]
All Alone On The Potty
I’ve been known to stay on the pot for quite a while. I’m not sure how God feels about it, but many of my best quiet times take place there. I’m an adult, though. I can get up whenever I want. Not so with my daughter.
Today after all my 11 little ones had gone home [...]
Newsweek Cover Story “Our Mutual Joy”
Newsweek’s cover story Our Mutual Joy by Lisa Miller is just plain stupid. She makes the ridiculous claim that since the Bible doesn’t show any perfect marriages, those of us who believe gay marriage is wrong couldn’t possibly use the Bible to back up our views.
Good grief, they just don’t get it. The Bible is God’s [...]
Arm Amputated By Text Message

A British doctor volunteering in DR Congo used text [...]
Friday Links
These things just keep getting more wierd. But it’s nothing new.
Self-embedding, a disorder where people wound themselves and then place objects in the wound, is an increasing problem among American teens, especially girls, researchers say.
You’re strange, but you’re not the only one out there.
A great lesson in capitalism. You mean we don’t have to rely on [...]
God’s Streams Through Our Boxes
I love short posts with good lessons. Such is Jonathan Brink’s thoughts in Things You Notice At 10,000 Feet.
I took a peak out the window during my flight to Memphis and we were passing over a large section of crop land. Each section was carefully landmarked by a square. We humans like squares don’t we. [...]
There Is No Santa Claus. Now Go Tell All Your Friends.
Here it is folks. The annual Santa is really just Satan spelled differently post. I wouldn’t go that far, but I do have some serious misgivings about Santa. (WARNING – I’m feeling a little feisty this morning.)Â
We don’t do Santa at my house. Actually, that’s not completely true. We “pretend” there’s a Santa Claus, but everyone [...]
