Day’s Verse:
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
1 Tim. 4:11
~~~
Things do not look good on the home front. Research for the IQP, which must be done ASAP—within the next couple of weeks, I guess—has stalled and refuses [...]

An Accounting

~~~
Day’s Verse:
Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.
1 Timothy 3:11
~~~
Today’s verse is something to work towards. We gossip way too much without even thinking of it as gossip—it’s “caching up on the news,” or “an update.” As if we need an update. Speaking of updates, Writing about Disease [...]

Why Animal Rights Activists Are Wrong

~~~
Day’s Verse:
Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in expanse of the heavens.” God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that [...]

The Seattle Times: Local News: Exes play tug-of-war for pets

Lawyers have sunk to a new low in their desperation: helping people gain custody of their pets from their exes. Several points: first, animals may seem human, and though we talk about their “personalities,” that doesn’t mean they are people. You may love your dog, but it isn’t your child. Second, why on eart would [...]

Killing the Current Culture

~~~
Day’s Verse:
…so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.
Esther 9:1b
~~~
Perhaps we could talk about this verse, not in terms of Jews slaughtering people who hated them, but in terms of gaining mastery over your sinful nature. The Book of Esther’s background is based in the fact that the Jews had [...]

The Bible, Classes, and Cervical Cancer

~~~
Day’s Verse:
Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced. For the Jews there was light and gladness and joy and honor.

I think that [...]

An Accounting Thus Far

~~~
Day’s Verse:
“Behold, indeed, the gallows standing at Haman’s house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!” And the king said, “Hang him on it.” So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

I wonder if I’m [...]
