On Making Tea...

I don't time my tea when I make it, so I occasionally forget to quit steeping it... I have found that sometimes steeping it for a very long time will make the bitterness that appears after 3 or so minutes go away... I haven't been having much luck lately, I keep forgetting to take the tea out.

"bounces" are really spam

Spammers have a new tactic... sending spam so that it looks like a bounce... most filters ignore "mail delivery subsystem" message, so the spam gets through... I hope spamcop lets me report these as spam soon...

What I learned at Urbana Part 2 of...

Howdy... Some more of what I learned at Urbana:

Spiritual Gifts are not limited to spiritual application... If, for example you have the gift of teaching, you can use that to teach Math, not just sunday school. Didn't know that...

There are two new religions started every day. College students spend 3 billion annually on soft drinks, and 1 billion on bottled water. Wow...

As my brother has said before, knowledge is not sufficient. We can't know and trust a creed for our salvation. Salvation comes from Jesus, not from our proper knowledge and understanding of the bible.

At Kinkos

Hey... just got my computer back from Apple... new 60GB hard drive put in to replace the crashed one... realized I didn't have as complete a backup as I thought... Kinkos has free wired internet, so I am updating the system software to try and solve a problem I have had... when I close the lid on my PB, it never wakes up... If I cant solve the problem by updating I will take it back to the service center

What I learned at Urbana Part 1 of...

Urbana '03
There was an emphasis on culture. The western church has been focusing too much on creating new christians in their own image. For example a Lutheran Church in the United States sends out missionaries to Africa, and wants that missionary to plant churches that will, eventually, look just like the american church, just with africans instead of german americans. The western church has been guilty of spreading the gospel of medicine and money instead of the Gospel of Jesus. Comfort is not the ultimate goal of Christianity.

That is what I can think of for now... Any comments?

Scripture

Christ is the Master; the Scriptures are only the servant. The true way to test all the Books is to see whether they work the will of Christ or not. No Book which does not preach Christ can be apostolic, though Peter or Paul were its author. And no Book which does preach Christ can fail to be apostolic, although Judas, Ananias, Pilate, or Herod were its author...
Martin Luther (1483-1546),
Introduction to the New Testament
