Over the last two days, I’ve been learning (through trial and error) to crate train Scout. She’s a mixed breed, but part of that mix seems to be border collie, which means she’s smart and learns quickly, and that helps, as I’m not much of a dog trainer at this point. But it’s interesting to read on the dog psychology behind kennel training and how it works.

I bring this up because I am concerned as a worship leader and designer that our congregations, and even more specifically the congregation...

I just exported all my old postings from the old site; it took only a matter of seconds, and I have no idea if any of it is worth salvaging. For the 2.3 people who follow this site, if there are old posts you’d like to see reappear here, just give me a vague description of the post and I’ll re-print them.
After all, I own the rights. Hahaha.

World Without End: Eschatology For the Rest of Us →
My friend Chad loves Revelation. And not in the same way Tim LaHaye does, either. I’d pick Chad in a fight over Kirk Camron any day.
