God’s Sovereignty Over Evangelism, and How To Pray For A Few People

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Every Tuesday night, people from church go out into downtown Minneapolis to do contact evangelism.  Daniel and I have been going with them for the last month. Tonight, God's hand and God's plan were clear. The car we were in was rather delayed... leaving church, for a few reasons, about 15 minutes ...

What Should I Blog About?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Back in the day I used to blog a lot.  Not earlier this year - that didn't count.  Sophomore year I had a often-updated blog that actually spawned some rather interesting discussion (and arguments) - usually about politics or theology. So... what should I write about?  How can I be helpful? I ...

Desiring God

Friday, June 13th, 2008

So people keep telling me I should blog, and that I should blog about being in MN, so here it goes... I get to go to Bethlehem Baptist Church and hear John Piper preach every Sunday. My walk to church is shorter than the walk down Ho Plaza. I get to hang out ...

Cyclops Smileys

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Google Talk needs to add new graphical cyclops smileys.  They're discriminating against one-eyed creatures everywhere. In the meantime, we're stuck with text smileys.  I suggest an "o" for the eye.  Some have proposed a "-".  I think the "o" looks better.  I also think the smiley needs a nose... o-) o-P o-| `-)     <--- Winking ...

Trust Promises, Not Providences

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

From the DG blog (I added the bolding): This morning my assistant, Bryan DeWire, found out his father, who 24 hours ago seemed in fine health, didn’t make it through emergency heart surgery. This afternoon, my wife called me in tears to update me on a very difficult day trying to ...

I’m Back!

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I functionally disappeared the last few weeks. Why? Two final projects (building a robot and a microprocessor and staying up ~60hrs straight at the end to do it), then two weeks of studying/finals. And now I'm home in CT, with no school for 5 weeks (!) and ...

Sons of Thunder

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

A bunch of us have begun following the praise bands out at Mars Hill Church in Seattle.  There are a lot of them, and they like to write a lot of their own music.  It's very different from the CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) many of us have grown up with/grown ...
