No Perfect Witnesses
•
In my denomination, there has been a lot of conversation regarding the Last Supper/The Feast of the Gods vignette 2024 Olympics Paris Opening Ceremonies. Perhaps conversation might be overstating it. There have been a lot of words, and I’ve shared the words of others. What is prompting this particular post is It’s Not What…

Touchy VR
•
I shared this article a number of years ago. Virtual reality objects you can FEEL just like on Star Trek’s holodeck move a step closer thanks to new ‘universal law of touch’ I shared it to a Discord group I’m part of again today. I’ve searched for this article so many times on my…

The DARVO Christian
•
In my social media circles, there is enough commentary, revelation, condemnation, accusation, pain, abuse being revealed and reported, that I really didn’t want to add to it.

A Little Bit of Happiness

Father A.I.
•
I’m an advocate of tech (shocking, I know). Yet, I’m wary of how AI has been used. The latest use I’ve run across (even with my better than minimal understanding of the Roman Catholic church) is the former Father Justin (now, “just” Justin). In her article, The real lesson behind the ‘Father Justin’ AI…

ZCal for Deputation
•
Our District Deputation Manager asked me to setup a way for churches to better directly schedule a missionary speaker. Being the nerd and cheapskate that I am, I decided to use ZCal.co for this project. Having already made enough mistakes myself getting this setup, I decided to make some quick and dirty videos covering…

Rule of Life
•
I’ve long been interested in the monastic life. Not sure I could handle it, honestly, but then again, God’s not calling me to it, either. That is normally a prerequisite. However, there are certain aspects of it that entice many of us, because we understand that there is indeed something very different about such…
