The DaVader Code
The Da Vinci Code if it were written a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…. See here.

World Trade Center – The Movie
One of my favorite Shakespeare tragedies is Othello. I thought the movie version a few years ago with Kenneth Branagh and Laurence Fishburne was awesome. But one of the major weaknesses of the play, in my opinion, is the character Iago. He is a classic villain. A delicious role for any [...]

Name Contest
Based on the responses I’ve gotten both on this blog and via e-mail, I do not intend to change the name of my blog even though I no longer live in Pittsburgh. My reasons have to do with branding, recognition, etc. Plus, Rev. McCain made a good point (twice) about indexing on Google. [...]
New Name for the Blog??
Since I am no longer in the “Burgh,” a number of people have asked about changing the name of the blog. I have thought I’d just leave it as it is. However, if you have a decent suggestion for a new name, please comment. In fact, I’ll take suggestions for the next [...]
Pr. Petersen’s Views on the Pastor’s Family
Every day, I read through all the blogs on my blogroll. The reason I put them on my blogroll is because they are blogs I like to read. There are other good blogs out there that I read as time allows, but these definitely get reviewed daily. Well, almost daily. On [...]
A House, A Home
The Stiegemeyer moving saga continues. I know you will all be relieved to know that we FINALLY located Jacob’s Playstation games and equipment. Again, if you don’t have an 11 year old boy around, you may not quite understand how grave that problem was.
Yesterday, Julie and I went out and bought a bunch [...]
The Religion of Peace??
Kim Riddlebarger’s blog has this interesting post on the growing threat of Islamic Fascism.
Here is a snippet:
The irony is that twenty years ago this threat was not even on the radar. Who would have thought that American evangelicalism would become so doctrinally wimpy as to be helpless against Islamic growth and ideology? Seeker-centered [...]
Looking for Stuff
Stuff. It’s not like we had enough stuff already. Now we’re trying to acquire more stuff to add to the stuff we already possessed.
Today, Julie and I began our venture to acquire furniture for the master bedroom. Isn’t there a reality show we could be on where someone does this for us? [...]
Piles of Stuff
The movers arrived yesterday and unloaded our stuff. Very few casualties to report. A couple of nicks and scratches. They lost the screw-on legs to the loveseat so it’s about 3 inches shorter. Also, my big wide wooden desk didn’t fit, so that has to be resolved somehow. After 16 [...]
