Sunday, April 27. 2008My Performance
I couldn't count on all my fingers and toes how many times I've heard the term "independent fundamental baptist" pounded on a podium. And I have to admit, I've never really cared for it. It always had an air of arrogance to it. But that's just my opinion.
Fundamentalism is rigid, uncompromising teaching and practice about the absolute necessity of being in the right place, at the right time, wearing the right clothing, singing the right songs, and saying the right prayers. Fundamentalism is the fanatical pursuit and exaltation of human performance, insisting that everyone else perform the same religious rituals and rules while arbitrarily and irrationally giving blind loyalty to religious authority... From a Christian perspective, it is necessary to understand that fundamentalism within Christendom is not one and the same as the fundamentals of our faith.

 Some of you know that Ray ordered new appliances for me. Last year, we were able to buy a new refrigerator, and this year we bought new washer/dryer, microwave (the kind that sits on the wall above the stove), dishwasher, and oven. Today, the last of my new appliances arrived...my stove. Continue reading "My New Kitchen" More Notecards
 This morning I made another set of note cards. I love how simple these cards are to make, and I love that they use scraps! No scrap is too small for making note cards.Continue reading "More Notecards" Sunday, April 20. 2008The Well and the Water: an Allegory
By Kevin T. Bauder
Once upon a time, a band of vigorous tribesmen occupied a high and arid plain. They were surrounded by snow-covered peaks, and what little water they had trickled down from the glaciers and snowfields above. Water was precious to them, for their lives depended upon it. They took care not to waste a drop. Continue reading "The Well and the Water: an Allegory" Thursday, April 17. 2008Blue and Gold Apron
I made my mom an apron! She works at a school whose colors are blue and gold, and whose mascot is a shark. She had to decorate a bunch of cookies at the school, and wanted a cute apron to wear. I, of course, was happy to oblige. Especially since it required a special trip to the fabric store.

The church has lost her testimony. She has no longer anything to say to the world. Her once robust shout of assurance has faded away to an apologetic whisper. She who one time went out to declare now goes out to inquire. Her dogmatic declaration has become a respectful suggestion, a word of religious advice, given with the understanding that it is after all only an opinion and not meant to sound bigoted. - A.W. Tozer (1897-1963)
Sunday, April 13. 2008Finally! From the time she arrived into this world bald-headed, I've been waiting for the day when I could finally braid Megan's hair. Well, the day was today.Click through for pictures. Continue reading "Finally!" Saturday, April 12. 2008Affair Proofing
I am above no sin. There are many things I could never see myself doing, but I'm not stupid enough to think I couldn't fall into any temptation. God is faithful and always provides an escape route from temptation and trials (1 Cor. 10:13). I just don't want to speed past my exit.
