Ponderfications: Christmas Bells
http://ponderfications.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-bells.html
Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Christmas Bells was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Christmas Day, 1863. We sing it today as a Christmas carol usually titled as “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” We sang it this past Sunday at church. Our hymn book, however, omits a couple of verses without which the carol loses much of its meaning. Here it is in its entirety:. 160; I Heard the bells on Christmas Day. 160; Their old, familiar carols play,. 160; The belfries of all Christendom. 160; ...

Ponderfications: November 2008
http://ponderfications.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. I'm the Pied Piper. I had concluded quite some time before election day that Barack Obama would win the election and that McCain did not have a snowball's chance. The President-elect did a grand job of rallying people behind him. I just can't understand why. Ah, you say, but he offered change and hope. What kind of change? Looking at his record, will the change he speaks of repeat the disastrous Jimmy Carter administration? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Seabeck, WA weather. I am ...

Ponderfications: September 2008
http://ponderfications.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 4, 2008. Photo courtesy of Chiara Angelini. I pulled into a parking spot right in front of the grocery store. In the adjacent spot was an older Z-model Datsun (Nissan). The windows were down and a beautiful labrador retriever was stretched out across the passenger seat. It seemed to be comfortably sleeping, like the one pictured above. The car was filled with the driver's stuff and appeared to be a home for someone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Seabeck, WA weather. I am retired with wo...

Ponderfications: December 2008
http://ponderfications.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Every once-in-a-while I receive an anonymous comment. I read and consider all the comments I receive, whether signed or anonymous. Some of the anonymous comments are favorable, some are not. So far, none have been nasty. I try to consider the merits of each comment, especially those from people that disagree with me. Anonymous posters are less likely to end up with their e-mail address added to spam lists. That's a good reason to not reveal who you are. Seabeck, WA weather.

Ponderfications: May 2008
http://ponderfications.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 16, 2008. How do they stay in business — Pt. 1. This is an advertisement in the Kitsap Sun for McGavins Bakery in Bremerton, Washington. Bremerton has a bad reputation, rightly earned, of poor customer service from its businesses. What once was a lively, productive city is now a moribund municipality gasping for its last breath as it applies cosmetic fixes that make it more appealing to the eye but do nothing to attract shoppers.

Tuesday, December 1, 2009. You Might Be From California if …. So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, somebody had to come up with this. You might be from California if:. 1 Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible. 2 You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house. 3 You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English. 4 Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Flower. 18 Both you AND your...

The Theologue: January 2011
http://thetheologue.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Discussions and opinions of items of theological interest from the perspective of a (very) conservative former Southern Baptist preacher. Wednesday, January 5, 2011. Sun, Jan. 2 Adult Bible Study: You Must Be Born Again, Pt. 2. Birth used to illustrate salvation. You did not will yourself born. Not of the will of man (John 1:12,13). Life precedes birth‡. Does not come into the world against his will. Does not enter the Kingdom of God against his will. Infant struggles to enter the world (labor).
