I’m Back :-)
After an all-too-lengthy absence, I’m finally back in the saddle!
Well… sort of 
I’m actually not posting a very thought provoking article today, just some random thoughts and updates from the last couple weeks…
- I have a sore throat. Not sure why. Hot coffee on a sore throat feels good though
- My diet started a few days ago. I’m really not a happy camper.
- I got to meet and talk to some really cool people a few days ago. I felt a little bit like Wayne and Garth in front of Aerosmith. So much talent in one room.
- The redesign for this blog is coming along quite nicely. I expect to be finished this week. If you’re interested in beta-testing for me, leave me a comment.
- I’m organizing my life. Meredith and I are sharing our google calendars (that’s how you know it’s serious) and I bought a filing cabinet. It looks like I’m growing up after all.
- Filing cabinets are freakin’ heavy!
- I have a TON of work to do today!
- If you care to know what makes me happy, check out some of the articles I’ve written over at The Blog Herald and Performancing. Yeah, it’s pretty complicated stuff, but I’m a geek … so I’m allowed to be complicated.
- I’m REALLY gonna miss Chick-fil-A!!!
- If you’re a really good web designer or coder, I might be able to offer you some work for some extra cash. Non-experts need not apply. WordPress theme development is a plus.
- I’m really starting to get into this HGTV channel. I guess I really want to own a house. I’m just dreaming for now, though.
- I love spending time with m’lady. Speaking of … she started a blog … but it’s mainly for women. If you’re a woman, check it out, and be sure to leave her a comment and let her know I sent you
- Is it odd that I would have probably reacted in much the same way as this guy if I had visited the new Creation Museum? Hmmm….
- If you’re a pastor, and you happen to blog, everything you say if fair game to ridicule. Just look and see… Make a comment in favor of a hollywood movie, and you have “no fear of God” and have a “seared conscience, addicted to Hollywood and absent any belief in the authority of God’s commands in His Word”. Careful what you say … the police are out there just waiting for you to slip up.
That’s all I’ve got for today. See you tomorrow!

Two things …
1) Welcome back. Was actually starting to wonder what happened just about the time I saw this pop up. Of course, I’m a fine one to talk. Have a lot of stuff to blog myself, but having a very difficult time articulating anything much right now. Flood gates will likely break down soon.
2) On the Creation Museum. I think (not completely sure though, to be honest), I understand and appreciate your objections to it. But thought you might appreciate this perspective on it from a relatively new (to me) theologian hero of mine, Dr. Russell Moore: http://www.henryinstitute.org/commentary_read.php?cid=388.
Matthew,
Nice article! In all honesty, I can’t much comment on it because I haven’t been. I would say that the museum is much more hostile toward darwinism than the link you provided allowed for, but that would 2nd hand knowledge, which may not be reliable, considering the source.
Welcome back!
I’ll beta test for you.
I don’t have a filing cabinet.
Where’s Chic-Fil-A going? Is the world coming to an end?
Her blog looks great! I’ll send my wife over. I’ve been trying to talk her into starting one for a long time. Is your girlfriend getting some pro bono web design services…?
I’m a pastor and I blog. I look forward to the day that Slice throws some stones my way. I’ll know then that I have reached the pinnacle of pastor-blog success!
Ben,
Not quite the outcome they were hoping for I’m sure.
I’ll send you the details to check out the new design soon…
Naa, CFLA isn’t going anywhere. I’m just not allowed to have any for the next 5 weeks or more.
Unfortunately, since she’s using WP.com, there’s no custom themes involved. She has to work with what they give her. If she had her way, she’d be using RockinPink … she loves that one.
I think most pastors on their radar feel that way…bring it on! It’s honestly becoming a joke more and more lately. It’s almost as if being attacked by those folks is a right of passage or something
Welcome back!
I’d like to comment on something from Moore’s article:
We wouldn’t be at all angered by these exhibits if those behind them weren’t pushing for their personal beliefs to be taught in schools paid for by our tax dollars. ID and Creationism may be wonderful, radical new ideas that will change the way we approach science forever, but the schools aren’t the place for that. Most radical new ideas are wrong. We can’t teach all of them. And usually, the few new ideas that are good will become the accepted orthodoxy soon enough. I don’t see that we have any choice but to teach whatever happens to be the consensus of the scientific community at any given time. Who else would we have decide what science should be taught in schools?
Anyway, astrologers, New Agers, adherents to Eastern religions, none of them are attempting to have their traditions inserted into science classes. If they were, you can be assured we Darwinists would be just as hostile towards them.
