I witnessed a beautiful act of charity
I have not taken the time to write much on Sunday, but today I saw something truly beautiful and noteworthy that to me represents the essence of what Sunday worship should mean and be.
In our church we have a family who’s husband has just left on active duty military service. His wife is now [...]
Make your own food – lose weight – guarenteed.
According to eDiets.com the average American eats at a restaurant 159 times a year!
That is an amazing statistic if it is accurate. I looked up how many calories it takes to cook a meal and for me it is about 140 cal, for 1 hours worth of food preparation. If I made just one complex [...]
Holiday Update
This last week with Thanksgiving was quite nice. We had some family over. Took a nice break from work, and enjoyed a lot of really good food. I worked out every day, sometimes 2-3 times a day just to keep up with the calories I was going to eat. Now, I hope you [...]
Politics for a day: The prudence and constitutionality of the bailout
In bad times we grasp at straws. The question is – is this one of them? I would like to consider from both a constitutional perspective and a moral perspective what rights and obligations our national government has during this financial crisis.
Constitutional Arguments.
I think there has been a whole lot of hullabaloo over [...]
The Rubik’s Cube Theory
I had a few really weird dreams last night. One of them was about solving Rubik’s cubes. I was watching a competition where people were solving the mind bending puzzle in just a few seconds. After the competition the competitors were showing the audience how they did it. The problem most people had solving the [...]
Mr incredible.
I so relate to Bob Incredible! I remember back in the good old days when I used to take on the evil forces in the universe and stop their sinister plans to take over the earth. Those were the days. /sigh.
I guess I’ll just have to move on:)
I can relate to Bob and his [...]
What’s Your Gene Pool Like? A really strong fat man
I just found a neat tool online that will tell you on average, how long your family lives. Based on genealogical archives the database automatically calculates the average life expectancy of your family compared to all others and then graphs it over a 30 year time frame.
Over the last 30 years my family has about [...]
I can understand wanting to avoid a little pain – but this is ridiculous!
When surgery becomes the preferred method of weight loss we are in trouble. In this article from the New York Times doctors are suggesting that those with a Body Mass Index over 40 should have this elective surgery. I personal know what it feels like to have a BMI over 40. That is what [...]
Getting Myself Into Trouble
I knew I was going to get it over posting anything let alone joining. The main point was one of caution to the marriage amendment groups. Because I think we can swing too far to the other side as well. My statement “how do we justify laws that discriminate against someone’s freedom of choiceâ€, was [...]
feedback loops
I’ve been thinking about feedback loops. I know, its kind of a random topic, but hear me out. I think that it is very important. In our body we have neurological feedback loops. If you touch a hot stove – you do not think, ‘wow, that was hot, I should remove my hand now.’ Before [...]
