I found this article at Ed Bott's blog, where it shows some screenshots from a spam control client-server piece of software.  It looks pretty neat -- if you're into that sort of thing.

I was at a small conference last weekend, which I suppose deserves another post entirely, but in summary, God used that conference to stir up and provoke me to love and seek him more.

On these two days, Mr. Alcorn has strayed away from at least what I know as traditional views of Heaven, though granted, I am not a particularly studied scholar on the matter.  I haven't ever heard of an intermediate Heaven, which is different from the future Heaven.  His definition of Heaven, at least for these two chapters is, "The place where God dwells", and he speaks particularly of a "central" dwelling place, given that God is omnipresent.

I sort of got discouraged on days 2 and 3, where I didn't find much that was edifying. But day 4 had a couple interesting things.

I put Noah down on his stomach while I swept the kitchen floor.  I heard a little surprised squeak and when I looked over, there he was on his back!  He even managed to hold onto his stuffed Eeyore as he went.

I haven't managed to get home yet tonight - started at a link from Worship Matters, Bob Kauflin's blog, and managed to meander around to a number of blogs, which after I get through the list, will probably add to the list of blogs that I read, but wanted to post a link to this one in particular.  I suppose the "right way", if I were a true blogger, would be to put my favorites in a post or something, like so many else do.

Jonathan borrowed a playdough pliers from the Kuhns and discovered that it makes nice little barrels.  Since his dough is now all colors mixed up, it is brown.  Lisa thought they looked like Tootsie Rolls.  A few days later when he was telling another friend about the things he borrowed, he said, "You know, the thing that makes sushi rolls."  That's Aunt Janet's nephew to know what sushi rolls are and not Tootsie Rolls

I guess I will need to read the book - I have not liked a fair amount of what John Piper has to say (which is unfortunate, since my church loves everything he says). But I happened across Slice of Laodicea and read the following quote today, which is exactly how I have been thinking recently:

I have a couple cds of Keith Green, but hadn't ever actually seen him.  I happened across For Such A Time As This and watched this video of Asleep In The Light:

Who would have guessed that back when I started writing back in November of 2002 that I was starting what would eventually become a blog, and fairly regular posts?  Certainly not me.

Somehow the appliance spies informed our dryer that we were at Sears looking at a new dryer.  Heather wanted to get a new one, since this one doesn't have a low heat setting - but the dryer has worked fine for years. The next time we used our dryer, it refused to start a couple times, and then grudgingly gave in, but made more noise than it used to.  Jonathan and I took it apart on Saturday, cleaned out old gunk, oiled the bearings, put it back together, and it still sounded the same.  It just stopped working tonight.  I think it overheard the Sears salesperson call today to say that the dryer is ready for pickup.  The Calvettis are loaning us their mini-van on Sunday in order to bring it home.

Our church is reading 50 Days of Heaven, by Randy Alcorn.  It is a shortened version of Heaven, specifically written as a devotional book.  It is part of a sermon series entitled, An Eye on Eternity. I thought I would write a couple quotes and thoughts for my care group, in order to encourage them to read.  No promises about 50 days worth, but perhaps as I find interesting things.

It might be hard to tell, but can you see the things waving/crawling around?  Dig in...

Jonathan was rolling out fondant and playing with cookie cutters and talking to himself about them when I heard him say, "cross" correctly!  He also said, "green" correctly so I asked him to say "Grammy" and he did!  They do sound slightly like "caross" or "Gerammy" but they're getting better and better.

Noah is very interested in his new teeth - he sticks his tongue in and out over them a lot and then goes "bbbbb" and makes bubbles.
