I’ve never sold anything on eBay before, but I’m trying it now. I just upgraded my cell phone, having traded the enormous (though highly functional) Nokia 9300 for the small, music-playing Sony Ericsson W300i.
After previous upgrades, I’ve just tossed the old phone in the drawer, or disabled it and made it a toy for the [...]

Do I Hear Fifteen? [UPDATED]
Banjo Music and Polyester
What could these two things possibly have in common, you ask? Why, Family Feud, of course!
I haven’t done a weekend fun post in a while, so I thought I would share this beauty of a clip I came across. When I was a kid, our family participated in the surveys that gave this show its [...]

Conflicting Convocations?
I hope the organizers of this event will coordinate with President Carter so as not to schedule a conflict with a potential 2009 Celebration of a New Baptist Covenant. I doubt both events could occur simultaneously, for want of participants…

Every so often I feel the need to remind you of the great work being done by Joel Bezaire on his blog, Crummy Church Signs. It’s not easy being subjected to so much bad theology and so many lame attempts to be cute, but Joel does it so you don’t have to.

Lessons Learned
It appears from the events of the past several days that there are plenty of lessons to be learned and plenty of opportunities to apologize.

Ends and Means
On October 23, 1998, Barnett Slepian was preparing soup in his kitchen when he was shot in the shoulder through a window. He died a few hours later.
