Hmm, my bad. I missed today’s post. In my defense, I spent the entire day at museums or on brewery tours. More on that hopefully next week. Here’s a great story of a Christian missionary who was deconverted by his experience ministering to a non-literate, non-believing tribe. It’s amazing what can happen when you strip …

Fair warning
Hey everyone, just want to give you a heads up that I am on the road this week and next week, so blogging may be a bit spotty. I will do my best, but this is a work trip which means that I will be dividing my time between work things and trying to get …

A personal appeal

Happy Birthday to me!
Well ladies and gentlemen, one year ago I began this blog in earnest. While the official first post went up a couple months before that, it wasn’t until March that I really hit my stride and began running this blog in more or less its present form. I am inordinately proud to say that in …

Mubarak steps down
Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle… Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as president of Egypt, after weeks of protest in Cairo and other cities. The news was greeted with a huge outburst of joy and celebration by thousands in Cairo’s Tahrir Square – the heart of the demonstrations. It’s not over yet. There still remains to …
