Christian. Female. Gamer. I have to be in the vast minority (anybody else out there?). I’ve been interested in, and played video games before the wonderful old atari system came out; on old (Apple) computers of course. So obviously I don’t think playing video games is wrong. What I would like to discuss, just because [...]

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Stepping Aside…
It’s just been anounced and reported that Olmert will resign when another PM is selected. The article on the Jerusalem Post can be found here: Olmert says he will resign after Kadima elects new leader. This is an interesting development to those of us who keep an eye on the Mideast, and all developments that [...]

Angels (pt. 2); Satan…
In part 1 I focused mainly on the holy Angels; those that serve God, and did not follow Satan. According to scripture 1/3 of all angels sided with Satan. Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his [...]

Cuil news…
A new search engine has made its debut on the ‘net: Cuil (yes, that’s pronounced “cool”). An article about it over on Breitbart.com says, “Finally, Cuil is hoping to attract traffic by promising not to retain information about its users’ search histories or surfing patterns—something that Google does, much to the consternation of privacy watchdogs.” [...]

X-Files; Movie Review
I Want to Believe is the subtitle of the new X-files movie, and has several meanings within the story. The first part of my review will be spoiler free, the second half will contain some spoilers, but I’ll let everyone know where the transition happens.
If you’ve never seen the X-files, I think you’ll be lost. [...]

Angels (pt. 1)…
God’s messengers, harbingers, and sometimes mode of destruction. One thing is for sure, humankind hasn’t done them any favors in the accurate representation department.
I do realize that the naked baby with wings depiction stemmed from an art form, a style…but really. they see us, and hear us if they are around…what must they think? In [...]

Doctor Who; The Stolen Earth (pt. 1) Review
This episode was written by Russell T. Davies (RTD), and is the first of a two-part season finale. Season finales are always exciting…and the first part is usually a setup of the second, The Stolen Earth, part 1 is no exception. First, as this was only the first part, it’s hard to say how the [...]

A call for calm…
One of the central teachings of the Bible, and especially of Jesus is a call for calm, or a call for peace. When we live in a world such as ours it is far easier to worry and to fret than to be content in whatever position we find ourselves in. I also firmly believe [...]

We perceive design…
Can we humans perceive design? Can we know, for example, that when we see a car that it was designed by someone with intelligence? How about other objects? The post, A Simple Perceptual Test and Intelligent Design, brings up some of these issues over on an Intelligent Design blog. Sometimes it does seem like naturalistic [...]

Biblical food metaphors…
Have you ever noticed how many times a food metaphor is used in the Bible? Many times, it isn’t “cream puff” ideas being put forth either…Jesus Himself employed them about various subjects, including Himself. Why do you think that is?
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh [...]
