October Update
October 29, 2008

so… random thoughts:
a. I reminded myself of the extent of free podcasts that are out there… so I’m in search of good one for design.
b. Contemplating taking the leap and try a (or couple of) freelance jobs.

Tom & Jerry as Abusive Relationship??
October 24, 2008

Hm.. so I just finished my lunch break, watching tom and Jerry. GREAT cartoon, btw, I love it.
The first clip today was ‘Mouse Into Space’
The premise:

John 8:31-32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Above Reproach: Re-Post + Thoughts
October 4, 2008

A re-post from March 31:
Live So As To Not Discredit God
from Titus, Chapter 2.
encourage the young women to be self-controlled (live wisely), chaste (pure), good managers of their household, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.
…for the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training [...]

Of Fairness and Stubbornness

Malachi.
just touching on some thought-points, briefly, that I hadn’t realized tonight, or in general, just connecting the dots. I didn’t know Edom = Esau. Interesting. The descendents of Esau are called “Edomites”. Interesting. The first chapter of Malachi has always bothered me. A just God loving the crooked and deceiving Jacob? A Loving God [...]
