Partly due to doing things with my family and partly due to catching up at work after last week of very little work, I haven't read much lately, and then when I did read, it was late at night, and figured I'd wait until I was in front of a computer to blog about it, rather than using the phone...

Jonathan Notes

Jonathan has been wanting our family to put on a Star Wars play ever since he started reading his Syar Wars book. I keep telling him, "You write the script first, and then we can figure out more details." So he finally decided to write the script, based on the movie Star... (More)

Faith Notes

3/19 - Mommy asks, "Where are all those hiccups coming from?" Faith responds by opening her mouth wide and pointing down her throat. 2/23 - Faith said "I love you" to me! It sounds rather like "hello" with three syllables. She also tries... (More)

Total Church: Evangelism

"Francis of Assisi is alleged to have said, 'Preach the gospel always; if necessary use words.' That may be a great medieval sound bite, but it falls short of what the Bible teaches about evangelism." I used to like that quote, and the evangelism models it leads... (More)

Total Church: Why Gospel? Why Community?

It's definitely a telling commentary on my life that the first chapter of Total Church , "Why Gospel?" was less exciting to me than the following chapter, "Why Community?". I think the former is in my head only, where the latter is in my head and heart.... (More)

Total Church: Introduction

I've just started reading a book I ordered from the library. I don't remember who recommended it - probably either someone at Jubilee, or else a blog I read. Based on the number of things I've liked so far, and I'm only through the introduction, I suspect I'm going to really like this... (More)

Notes and a Taste of Spring

2/23 - Faith repeated the Church of the Ascension doorbell, singing exactly on pitch. 2/24 - Noah was working with Jon on pronouncing "sure" correctly, having trouble with the "sh" sound at the beginning. Finally, he said to Jon, "How 'bout I just say... (More)

It's All Relative

I was telling my mom the other day about how strange it was that Pittsburgh is all but closed down after the snowstorm on Saturday. Even the major roads (5th, Forbes, Negley, Penn) are not plowed, or rather, seem to have been plowed after one foot of snow fell, but then they didn't come... (More)

Taxes Are Done For Another Year

Taxes weren't too bad to calculate this year, though last year we paid TaxAct, so apparently, they decided we aren't ever allowed to go back to the free version again, unless I sign up with a new username. So, we ended up just doing them on paper, and discovered that in some ways, TaxAct... (More)

Quotes, etc.

2/1 - Jonathan, munching on dried cranberries, "I would have a happy life with air, cranberries, a Bible, and chips." 2/2 - Faith followed two-step directions: go get her shoes (from the other room) and put them in the shoe rack. 2/4 - Jonathan, "Life is so... (More)

AT&T HTC Tilt2 Tethering via USB

There is a bizarre issue with AT&T and their latest phone - the tech support folks (even the second level) haven't ever seen one, and the scripts they have are made for the original Tilt, and AT&T somehow hasn't realized that while it probably is possible to do it the "old"... (More)

AT&T Coverage and Service?

In continuing my tv watching and catching up on the news from the last year, I see that Verizon has been doing lots of ads about network speeds and comparing them to AT&T. And I found out that AT&T rates lowest on consumer satisfaction surveys, etc. My brother said he has... (More)

Cost of Health Care?

Since I am in the category of people who is expected to see my health insurance double or triple, I wonder why people are spending so much on their health insurance. I do see that since we are "poor", we'll likely get free or heavily discounted health insurance under Obama's... (More)
