    Dog Days

    Here is the 10 day forecast for Tupelo, MS. Ugh...it's been miserable for the last 2 weeks and no letup in sight, though the last couple of days, the humidity has been low enough for it be bearable. If the humidity stays low, it might not be so bad but if it goes back to normal, folks around...

    So, who have you been?

    No, it's not a typo. EC's name change thread got me to thinking about all the name changes we've had over the years. Personally, I think it can be a good thing because I've bumped heads with people before and always associated some memory of that with their user name, though I'd usually forget...

    A Rumour of War: Christ's Millennial Reign and the Rapture of His Church

    Has anyone else read this book? I'm almost finished and a lot of what I've read has left me kind of stunned. I come from the Lindsey/LaHaye school of eschatology and have had a tough time shedding a lot of those preconceptions when thinking about the end times. I'm not a scholar by any...

    Who am I?

    Well, according to my son, I am now Da da! I was just standing in the door watching my wife playing with him and as he stood there holding her hands, he looked right at me and said, "Da da." I know it might be kinda silly but I'm ecstatic right now. :clap: Next thing you know, he'll be...

    OK, who's minding the troll pen over here?

    They should be reprimanded for letting one escape. :P I know things have been kinda crazy with all the changes but still... *Gently deposits the troll back in the OBOB troll pen.* There ya go, little fella. ;)

    Baptism question

    My cousin who was raised CoC said that he was baptized by triple immersion and I was wondering if that was the standard form used in CoC. He said he was immersed in the name of the Father, then in the name of the Son, then again, in the name of the Holy Spirit. This piqued my interest as that...

    Clubhouse Games for DS

    I just picked this up today and it is a lot of fun. :thumbsup: http://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=v5BmjGGGvsi5oZDvxoihyDG5Pmt_s6Pz I like how they have utilized the touchpad for billiards, bowling and darts. More games than I can mention. I would recommend it to anyone who like card...

    Closing day!!!

    God is so good to us. We've been looking at houses for a few months now and we finally found one that we both liked. It wasn't at the top of my list but I liked it fine. Then, imagine our surprise when we found out that our town had a program to help first time home buyers as part of a...

    Assassin's Creed on the DS!?!

    It's on the release list at Gamestop and I think they might be able to do it justice. I played a little bit of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on DS and it handled very similarly to the console version so it might work. I hope they release some more info about it soon. I'm also looking forward to...

    Language software for the Nintendo DS!!!

    I know we have lots of folks from all over the world here and several who teach so I thought I'd post this here. The Japanese have been using the Nintendo DS for educational softare since it released and it is a common (if not required) sight in many Japanese classrooms. I have to admit that...

    Forgive me

    No one particular thing has brought this about but I feel the need to ask all your forgiveness. I have held dark feelings towards some people and let stress and other things bring me to say things that weren't loving. If I've written anything that has caused anyone offense or caused anyone to...

    Rebaptism?

    I didn't want to further derail the denominations thread but it did get me to thinking. What if, hypothetically, someone is received by chrismation and attends a parish for several years, receiving the Eucharist then moves to a very traditional parish and the priest insists that their baptism...

    A whole decade. Ten looooong years...

    Well, today is our 10th anniversary. I can't believe it's been 10 years already. Not much planned but I did get a day off :clap: like the 6th one in the last 4 months. We are planning to go see Shrek the Third while my mom keeps James. It's hard to believe I've been married for more than...

    VtM: Bloodlines

    I just got this in today. I installed and patched to 1.2 and started a new game. I'm doing the tutorial right now and so far I really like it. Is there anything else I should do as far as patching before I go farther?

    Our chapel

    Here is a picture of our chapel. We've been praying there for months but now it's starting to look like a Church. God has blessed us so much.

    Baby talk?

    I started to add this to the Pet Peeves thread but figured I'd give it its own. I don't have anything against talking "cutesy" to babies or babbling and making nonsensical noises but when talking, I try to speak as correctly as I can. I understand that the vernacular is going to vary from one...

    I need some advice...

    My cousin was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. They said there's nothing they can do and chemo would just ruin the quality of life that he has left. He isn't a Christian, though he was raised in CoC. He spent a lot of time in prison for non-violent offenses and he's not a bad guy...

    Defining moments in gaming. For YOU.

    I'm not asking for defining moments in gaming in general but those moments when gaming went to a different level for you personally and changed your view of gaming or even changed you as a person. One such moment for me took place when I wasn't even playing. I had been playing System Shock 2...
