Theology That Bites Back
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 we got the results of the pathology report back, and we are most grateful to God. Many thanks to all of you who supported us with your prayers. We really appreciated the kindness shown by all of you. Now tumors can be entirely benign, which this one wasn’t. But in the genus of cancerous …
So I am sitting in a hotel across the street from the hospital, typing with my forefinger on my trusty iPad. The fact that I am doing so means that the surgery turned out to be an outpatient procedure, which is what we in our household call “ fun beans.” I didn’t have to stay …
I want to thank all of you for the outpouring of support since I announced that I needed to have a small cancerous tumor removed from my left jaw. We really appreciate your kindness. The tumor is back near the ear, and its removal won’t affect the beard, or so the doctor says. Our next …
Introduction: If God governs the world—as He does—then this means that all things must be obedient to Him. But there is another side to this, leaving us with an antimony. We know for a fact that we live in a sinful world, which means that there are entities and individuals that are disobedient to God. …
