Last Thursday I drove to Omaha, Nebraska to hear Frank Schaeffer, author of Crazy for God and lots of other really great books dealing with the crazier end of the Christianity spectrum, speak. He did not disappoint. You can hear his talk at this link. If you start at about eleven minutes you can skip the introductions, although the minister of the church where Frank talked does give a brief, but interesting account of his own visit to L’Abri, the [...]
I was introduced to the writing of Frank Schaeffer via his book Crazy For God several years ago. I loved the book and wrote about it here. On that post, a reader left a comment asking me if I had read any of Schaeffer’s fiction books. I had not and I tucked that comment away in my brain in hopes that someday it would resurface at just the exactly right moment when I was in need of a new book [...]
We hosted Thanksgiving this year. Twenty-seven of my husband’s closest relatives stayed at our house for four days. We went hiking and played board games and watched ballgames and went to the movies and The Oracle Known as Steve staged a coup and tried to take over my kitchen, but I bravely fended him off with a carving knife, a rusty old egg beater and a very pokey meat thermometer. And yet, even as he bled out from oozing puncture [...]
Because the Christmas tree photo was getting a wee bit tiresome.
With mincing alacrity, Dear Charles takes on Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ” and startling questions arise!!!
Dumb question…can you put a bunch of goldfish in there? In big spaces they grow huge. Nothing cuter than a massive goldfish.
That is very cool! I want to go fishing right now.
I don’t know – The bass would probably eat them – but they are pretty.
I sit here in amazement that you have to pay for pond fish. And that there is someone who rides around selling them.
It’s not something I ever thought about. When we want to fish we just go to the stream that runs thru town. I never thought that they got there via human help. See, this is why your site is so good – I learn new things.
That pond supplies truck thing is the craziest thing I’ve seen. All day, at least.
What is the blue liquid the fish are transported in? I suspect it’s not Scope.

That is amazing. And weird.
Yes, it is Scope. Evidently Scope is the perfect biohydrating environment for baby fish. And no, the off brands are not as good for the little fishies. It has to be Scope.

That looks like so much fun! Now you know I’ll have to bring our boys out next year for a mini fishing tourney. I’ve already told my dad that it is his duty as a grandparent to take us out to every fishing spot in Weber County, until they are heartily sick of Bonneville cutthroats. I do so miss fishing trips, especially to Flaming Gorge.
