Just discovered in a WordPress plugin the most popular words on my blog. I'm not sure if I'm proud of this list or not. Jesus ought to be higher...

Thank You, Stephen Jones
I had a unique vantage point for today's announcement from Stephen Jones that he would step down due to his ongoing health trials (see official word from BJU here). I was sitting on the FMA platform behind him waiting to receive my ten-year service award (a cool Seiko...

Google Reader Replacements
I've been using Google Reader since before Al Gore was born, but now that it's nearing its death (Monday), it's time to switch. I've tried a few alternatives over the past few months, and I'd like to make two recommendations: The Old Reader Feedly Each is nicely...

If you're an RSS subscriber,check out my new blog design. The crown symbol is meant to represent the ultimate object of our faith, Jesus Christ the King. If you're an e-mail subscriber, I hope you like the new format. I'm now using a fantastic service called...

Black Friday Deal for Bloggers

Vote for Me!
I've just seen one of those rare birds, an Internet discussion that seems civil. And I'm in the rare bird! It's over at Quora, a pretty neat site I've not spent much time on but attracts higher-than-average-quality user-submitted answers to a wide range of...
