[First a note: I meant to say yesterday that I am going to reevaluate all my web use in 30 days (Oct 15). Hopefully by then I will be over the withdrawal symptoms and be in a new habit of web usage. ] Since posting my manifesto yesterday, I’ve checked my email 4 times. Once [...]
The speed of light may be a constant, but the speed of life is not. I am in front of a computer for eight hours Monday through Friday. When work is busy, I take short breaks to read blog posts, check personal mail, peruse my favorite message boards. When it’s not, most of my day [...]
The so-called tool box is not a collection of things to help me be more spiritual. No! these “things” are nothing less than the fullness of Faith in Christ.

After graduating High School, he sailed his square-rigged barque “Hrothgar” on a continuous circumnavigation for six years. When not on board Hrothgar, Ryan could be found trakking [...]
We watched most of Larry King’s coverage of the Katrina devastation. I simply cannot fathom what those people are facing. One of the experts pointed believed they would be setting up what amounts to a refugee camp north of New Orleans as there are about 1,000,000 homeless people as a result of the destruction.

According to their press release, God is punishing America for being a “rich fag nation.” I try to tell myself that the first amendment was written for these idiots.
