We have been watching Star Trek again. This time we’re going through season two of the latest series, called “Enterprise”. It’s great. We’re big fans. We love the characters, and the stories, and the whole science fiction, space theme. Neato. But the worldview often leaves something to be desired. The world they have created is…

I mentioned in the previous post that Star Trek creates a universe that is not the creation of a wise and divine Creator, but one that evolved and continues to do so. They come across species all the time who are at a higher state of evolution than humans. 🙂 (Sorry, that one makes me…

Sorry for the absence from the blog here. That does happen from time to time, though I do not wish it to be so. I did predict this current lull, however, as we were entering the last few weeks of summer. We had a great trip to Ohio. A nice concert, a good visit with…

In the course of many converging events this week, my mind has been directed to the many facets of life as a parent. On the one hand, there are the joys of your children’s successes – doing what they are supposed to, and even surprising you by doing the unexpected. Then there are the pull-out-your-hair…

After watching a bit of the hurricane coverage tonight (which definitely overdoes the sensational aspect of the story…) I have just been wondering something. At what point do you consider moving somewhere else? Read this report from The Drudge Report detailing the potential threat of the storm: Urgent Weather Message from NWS New Orleans WWUS74…
