  1. Daniel, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I've always enjoyed how you shared your Mom and family with us. May God comfort you and all who knew and loved your Mom. You'll be in my prayers.Jim
  2. Daniel, Thanks for the updates about your Mom. You are all still in my prayers.Jim
  3. Daniel, So sorry to hear about your Mom. You both are in my prayers. May God comfort you both in this difficult time. 1 Pet 5:10Jim
  4. Daniel - Great post. Sen Obama is an inspiring man and appears to be a great leader, but I'm having a hard time seeing an honest approach in his campaign. Take his 95% tax claim issue for example. First of all, more than 5% of Americans pay no federal tax at all, some estimate 30-40%. So Sen Obama can't cut taxes on 95% of Americans because there aren't 95% who pay, even if he could get the Congress to vote with him. It's not a tax cut, it's a rebate check. The rebates will be paid for by a windfall profits tax on oil companies. I'm guessing the oil companies will then increase gas and oi
  5. DN, Great blog. Lee Strobel's books have also helped strengthen my faith. Great to see you discuss the topic in your blog. May God continue to bless you.Jim
  6. Huge Congrats Daniel. Good luck the rest of the way - more braclets on the way.Jim
  7. DN, I think your comments about many the religious right are spot on. It only takes a few "Christians" to send the wrong message. The Crusades and Inquisition come to mind - and we're all still paying for that. I'm sure Satan is more than happy for us to spend our time and energy chasing things that in the end won't really matter. Your comment about politics in first century and how Jesus dealt with it should give us all a better indication of where we ought to focus our energy. I also liked your comments on sin. In an age of relative truth - sin is what it is and we who claim to be Chris
  8. DN, I would recommend going to Butchart Gardens near Victoria, beautiful place and great resturant. Taking the ferry through the San Juan Islands is a great way to spend some time too. Enjoy.Jim
  9. DN, For one, I've been inspired by your expression of your Christian faith. I'm glad you talk about your life, your struggles, your goals, your successes, and your faith. You present yourself as a real person. I kinda miss you talking about Lori when you were dating and I'm glad you mentioned her in this blog. Our families are important to us. Thanks for sharng yourself with us. Jimshoen

  11. You mean we can't control our behavior - our brain chemistry runs the show and we can't do anything about it?

  13. Dawkins' notion of evolution comes from his mind. The logic goes like this: Dawkins has in his mind a model of how evolution should work. He can create a computer program that approximates how the model in his mind works. Therefore, we are to believe this is how evolution works in the real world. Dawkins states the argument himself in these words: "There is another mathematical space filled, not with nine-gened biomorphs but with flesh and blood animals made of billions of cells, each containing tens of thousands of genes. This is not biomorph space but real genetic space." The assumption is t
  14. If you found a watch on the street would you ask yourself - I wonder what this evolved from? Or would you think, I wonder who dropped this here and think it was created by a designer and craftsman.
  15. Thanks Daniel. I really appreciate these devotionals. We have a hard time seeing through all the "issues" to see the central message. God is love and if we love God with all our whole heart, soul, minds, and strength and our neighbors as ourselves it will turn our lives upside down - and in God's eyes - right side up. The greatest compliment I ever received was from a person who in a public place for no real reason other than I was acting patiently when other might not said - "are you a Christian?" I replyed "yes, why do you ask" she said "I could tell by how you act" You hit it on the hea
  16. YGBKM - DN get's knocked out by 72o with half the table all in. Thanks for playing DN - and thanks for all you do for FCP and poker
  17. I'm in and let me add my congrats. I watched the last several hours of the webcast. All the best with DN. I'm interested in hearing how the whole ride goes. GL at the tables.
  18. Nice run Kowboy. Two great weeks in a row. Well done.
  19. The #1 seeds are too tough this year. Gonzaga's got a good chance against UCLA, but I think UCLA's defense is too tough for Gonzaga. George Mason beat Wichita State late in the season in Wichita (one of the toughest places to play) and Mason's D is really tough. Mason will move on to meet UConn. Texas and Plorida will have their hands full, but will pull through.
  20. A friend of mine told me about it. I found this website - http://www.alphausa.org/ It looks like an introductory class on Christianity, non-denominational. I just wondered if anyone had gone to the 10 once per week class?Jim
