yet another start

(originally posted on January 5, 2008)

After reviewing the blogspot page I setup, I realized that it offered some 'features' that I wasn't happy with. One, in particular. In the top left hand corner, there is this "Next Blog" link. I selected it and was greeted by a soft porn blog. Because it changes day-to-day, a later selection showed a very nice Christian woman offering her thoughts on a good number of good topics. In other words, I can't control that link. It could go to a good site or a not-so good site or a terrible site.

I want people to read this (for the purposes listed in another post). But, I don't want to lead anyone to a site that may cause them to "stumble" in their walk with Jesus - or their walk toward Jesus. So, I checked out a blog I enjoy reading and that led me to typepad. We'll see how it works as I blog through my first 14 days of a free-trial.

For now, my garage door opener isn't working and it appears that I have to replace the entire opener itself. Ah, the joys of home ownership...

Writer's block or the constipation of the pen?

Gentle Reader, I'm trying to figure out why I don't want to write. Seriously. It's been since June 9 - over a month!

No, I have something to say but I'm not quite sure I want to say it here. Ever feel that way? I want to talk about Jesus, my bride, my family, the church, government, weather, complex matter and anti-matter anti-aging compounds, and a host of other things important to me... But, I'm just not sure they should be placed here. Jesus talks about not throwing your pearls before swine . Of course, in the context of the Sermon on the Mount, He seems to be warning against placing God's Word before those who will not only t...

Trip to Ngoro in the Kumi District

After arriving from Kamuli, I had the opportunity to shop for some Ugandan gifts. This is something I don't do well. In fact, this is something my bride does really well - wisely choosing the right gifts is itself a gift that she has received. After getting an email list from Sherry, I made my purchases and, because some of the articles were made by widows, I was able to help others, too. When the team travels we go in two vans with our luggage, supplies, and tools on top. Our group, piloted by Moses Magoolo, left first and landed last. In the group were Jill, Grant, Joni, Jeannie, Twyla, Heather, Cassie, and me. When we left Kampala, the plan was to go to a guest house first because we would arrive so late. En route, plans change. We went directly to the church and was welcomed by singing, dancing, yodeling women, smiles, shaking hands, and cries of "You are welcome!" If I had to imagine what a believer's reception into heaven would be like, this picture would com...
