How to Be an Obessive Fan

I found this essay on an old Tripod site (i didn’t even know they were still around, much less than my account was still intact). It was for English 1A at RCC. I don’t remember my grade, or what I got overall in that class. I just remember that my 1B teacher probably fit this [...]

Praise Him

I’ve been a little brat. The economy is spiraling and here we are, still doing fine. Yet we read Scriptures together for the first time in months the other day, and we already missed last night! I’ve never been good about a personal daily devotion, but i used to have a little morning routine. Then [...]

Making My Home a Haven

First, I forgot to post this follow-up to the post “Bye-bye Hanukkah“ Thanks for the post about the camera on your blog.  We found it!  It was in my duffel bag…which I looked in twice and Fred once…found it on the fourth search after asking St. Anthony for help.  By the way, it was Uncle Ken and [...]

Americans: You Are Michael Scott

On the latest episode of The Office (Spoiler Alert?), Michael was being really subordinate, immature, and completely ignoring the chain of command. You don’t do that in the real world. You report to your superior, who reports to theirs, etc. I learned that firsthand once at Knott’s. I was upset with my shift leader when [...]

The Gospel Call

The Gospel, or Outward, Call is the outward proclamation of the Gospel. It is for all, regardless of nationality, gender, class, etc. It is not to be confused with the Effectual, or Inward, Call, which we will talk about on Day 4. A person can hear the gospel call, yet never hear the effectual call. [...]

(Happy Hanukkah!) Election/Predestination

I’m going to try my hand at potato latkes tonight.  I saw a box mix at the store and might just end up going that route.  I don’t really have the time required to make them from scratch.  >.<  Cheaper this way.  Even easier, but definitely not cheaper OR healthier and probably not kosher, would [...]

Hanukkah:Fulfilled! 2008 – Ordo Salutis

Wow, Hanukkah and Christmas are really creeping up on me.  The month has been flying by so fast.  At the same time, it seems like such a long time since Thanksgiving.  Yet, here we are five days away from Hanukkah and nine days away from Christmas.  I decided that each year I am going to [...]
