New Disqus Comments plugin
In a nutshell I want people to be able to leave comments without me having to "approve" them - they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason was marking all comments - including my own - as spam. I have since added the Disqus plugin which hopefully will allow anyone with a free Disqus account to be able to leave comments that appear immediately. So far it appears to be working nicely.-

REVIEW – "Terminator Salvation"
In a nutshell – I thought it was much better than the mediocre or even negative reviews led me to expect. I read enjoy and respect Big Hollywood. John Nolte was not kind to “Terminator Salvation”. What a crushing and … Continue reading

Marketing versus(?) evangelism (or) Centripetal ecclesiology
Outreach. Churches agonize about it. Well at least this one does. But listen and observe carefully how people talk about it and attempt to engage in it. Spend thousands of dollars on slick postcards to the community. “There’s a place … Continue reading

Hoisted on their own petard (or) Democrats *prove* why they are irrelevant
Here is one I have never shared. Wright’s Third Generalization: Whenever someone is in error, he/she will not merely contradict himself/herself, but will refute himself/herself. This does not logically have to happen, but it is what happens consistently. (Once during … Continue reading

Political favoritism untrammelled by the rule of law (or) Tincture of Obamaism
George Will again nails it with his recent article on how the Obama Administration governs. The Obama administration is bold. It also is careless regarding constitutional values and is acquiring a tincture of lawlessness. He cites the Obama Administration’s efforts … Continue reading
President Obama is not really a liberal (or) The Alinsky Administration
Let us review Wright’s First Principle of Epistemology shall we? In any given set of data, the anamolous elements are the key to explaining the whole. In other words – to understand the pattern focus on what does not fit … Continue reading

Great moments in procedural subversion (or) Episcopal Church rolls ++Cantuar in Jamaica
Spellbinding. Apparently the Anglican Consultative Council (number 14 to be exact) finished meeting in Jamaica. The big issue on the table was an Anglican Covenant. Sign it and you are part of the Anglican Covenant and everything is groovy. Unfortunately … Continue reading

Invasion of the Obamatrons (or) Oh it could never happen here!
(Some people will read this and think Rick has really gone off the deep end. Paranoid alarmist and offensive. Fair enough.) There is a thought that troubles me. If (hypothetically of course) you have someone who is a hardcore Marxist … Continue reading
REVIEW – "Star Trek"
Wow. Personally I thought it was fantastic – primarily in terms of “when you sat there watching it did you enjoy it?” Exciting. Touching at times. (Got choked up in a couple spots – I refuse to show tears in … Continue reading

Easy to avoid hypocrisy when you have no standards (or) We have to be perfect but they do not
{ANYONE GOT A COOL/APPROPRIATE PICTURE?} I believe in getting good grades. Students should aim for straight A’s. I did not always get A’s in school. Does that make me a hypocrite? I believe in being kind patient and generous. Husbands … Continue reading
