Theology That Bites Back
My father was born October 6, 1927, and he entered into glory last night, May 25, 2022. As we remember his life and legacy in the days to come, I will obviously have more to say, but I wanted to register one central thing at the outset. I wanted to thank God for giving me …
Introduction: I first subscribed to National Review when I was still in high school. This was probably around 1969, which means that I have been a dutiful subscriber for around 53 years now. I bring this up because I am about to let my subscription lapse, a reality which should come to pass any day …
I want to take just a moment to recount the Lord’s goodness to me. Just as unexpressed honor is dishonor, so also unexpressed gratitude is ingratitude. One of the things that the psalmist knew how to do was itemize (e.g Ps. 136). The only reference I will make to the tumultuous times in which we …
Introduction: Allow me to write, if I may, a little bit about some of the doings in our little town. This is my artistic interpretation of this irony-ridden event. It may not be evident from this work, just a sketch really, but I once took some courses from the Juilliard School of Cartooning Arts and …
I wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for my younger sister Heather and her family, the Torosyans. It is with grief that I have to inform you that she passed away yesterday, but in resurrection hope we know she is now with the Lord. To be absent from the body is …
Introduction: This will be one of those posts that will necessarily be a bit self-referential from time to time, but I will keep all that to a minimum, at least as much as possible. As edifying as it might be for me to write at length about myself, I have a nagging feeling somewhere in …
Sorry to break it to you all like this, but I am going off on vacation. During this said vacation, who will be blogging away here like usual? Not I, said the little black duck. At the same time, since we know that at least some of you have a worrisome dependency problem, we have …
So one small postscript from my “No Quarter November” remains necessary. I did want to share with you all that my month-long adventure in blogging without brakes did garner me a visit from the FBI. It was not as exciting as it sounds, but it was noteworthy, and worthy of a few follow-up observations. dav …
I got married on this day, New Year’s Eve, in 1975. Doing the quick math, that adds up to 43 years together now, and I have to say that God’s hand for blessing has been heavy upon me. Let me give you one snapshot from the early years that does not sum it all up, …
So I think that the time has come to talk a little bit about an open secret. The secret is that liberals (and the moderates who admire them) don’t like dialog very much. They talk about it incessantly, sure, but they like all the questions aspiring to a place in the dialog to be cleared …
