To Megan, From Aron February 2007 Go, my blue beauties, bring sweet sentiments of daydreamings and endless clock-watchings; Bend all your splendor to serve me, a creature, and lend me your voice for a while: “The heavens declare the [bright] glory of God,” as well as each tender blue petal: But once, just this once, [...]

Guy at work: “Check this out; homemade pot roast and gravy. I even said, ‘No, no honey–I’ll be home before lunch today,’ but she just smiled, said ‘ok, just in case then,’ and handed me the lunch bag. Yeah, she loves me. Marriage is awesome–don’t ever listen to anyone who would oppose that. You’ve just [...]

When a person is in danger, what is the stategy to bring them back to safety? If, for example, a person is standing at the precipice of a tall building, do we come with force and the local authorities–or with one of their closest and most respected friends? I went back to the OPC church [...]

In my new position, I’m in Microsoft Project almost 10H a day. The backbone of any project is what’s called the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is basically just an outline consisting of the top-level task and all the related, subordinate sub-tasks.

Awhile back I’d shared the idea that all of creation serves to reveal God. Today I’m struck by how God does this within the context of the family. (All of the following must be understood, of course, as the ideal–as an “ought” rather than an “is.”) Here’s what I mean: A child‘s parents function as [...]

I’ve just come across a new blog written by Carolyn McCulley, author of Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? and a staff member of Sovereign Grace Ministries. Her blog is called Solo Femininity, and I cannot recommend it too highly. She writes from the perspective of a single adult female, and offers great biblical insight into [...]

All (actually, the vast majority) of my books are now cataloged over at LibraryThing. As I was doing so, I kept remembering where certain books came from, what I was doing, who I was with, what was going on in my life. Many of them, I remembered, had been gifts. So, I thought a good [...]

A friend of mine once made the excellent point that we cannot systematize our faith. I agree. But faith is not in isolation; as Van Til wrote, “faith is never alone: it requires an object.” That is, faith is a response to truth–truth which (or who) is revealed in Scripture. God has revealed so much [...]
