The Porter owns you!!!

I decided to drive around during lunch to clear my mind and pray. I needed to detox from ‘cube world’. Doing a good job, getting an excellent evaluation, and being a team player will get you dumped on, overloaded and overworked every time. Killing your star players makes perfect sense… Right…? [...]


Strictly Personal

I don’t want to be here.  I feel a higher calling and working an 8 to 5 in “cube world” is getting increasingly frustrating with every passing day.  There never seems to be enough time to read, study, write, minister, think, or pray.
There is something very “Epicurean and Stoic” (Acts 17) about the technology industry.  [...]

If you have lots of ideas floating around and need a way to quickly flesh [...]


How to study the Bible - Lesson One

Preeminence of God’s Word…
When we undertake any kind of bible study we are in some regard confessing that the bible is true and authoritative at some level. Otherwise we might as well have “bible study” with a local news paper of Victoria Secret catalog. What I want to present is this lesson is [...]


Down with the sickness - redux

I hate laying out of work.  It takes me a month the build up 10 hours worth of “vacation/sick” time.  Which is a good rate… however, I still hate to burn it on being sick.  Especially since the weather is <angels sing>GLORIOUS!!!</angels sing>  I should look on the bright side… more time to sleep and [...]
