What I Want for Christmas 2015
I initially wanted to title this post, Hey, It Worked Last Time! (Grins.) Anyway, below are two amazing figures from NECA, the company that seems to never go wrong in producing the most excellent toys and figures. The first one is Adam West’s Batman from 1966 (Bam! Pow!) and the second is Michael Keaton’s version…

Random Thoughts this December 23, 2013
Officially, it’s two days before Christmas. There have been so many things going on lately, in the personal sphere, in the social sphere, and everywhere else. With so many things going on, the following thoughts have crept into my head. Some are “Christmassy” in nature, some are just developing musings, but all are rather random,…

My Preaching Wish List
I got this little gem from http://www.ligonier.org/blog/10-distinguishing-marks-john-calvins-preaching/, in an article that was a summary of one chapter from Steve Lawson’s John Calvin: A Heart for Devotion, Doctrine, and Doxology.

Was Winnie the Pooh a Good Muslim? (Monday Musings 043012)
Here’s another good read: http://www.tektonics.org/guest/pooh.html The opening paragraph reads: “In recent years a growing trend among many Muslims has been to make the claim that Jesus was a ‘good Muslim’. Others have described him as ‘a prophet of Islam’. Their method has been simple: by mining the New Testament Gospels they have sought to show that Jesus…

My Pet Peeves (Monday Musings 042312)
First, what is a pet peeve? Wikipedia defines a pet peeve as a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying, to a greater degree as others may find it. In other words, these are actions that I may find annoying but may be perfectly appropriate for others. Here’s a list of my pet…
