At present we are doing a few things differently from standard. Firstly, we are not going to the box. At all. We are still members, and I still believe that a crossfit box is the safest place to lift heavy because a good coach keeps you within limits, but we are stressing our bodies in Continue Reading

I need some motivation. Nothing like a few wormtounges and heretics trying to redefine biblical and the Bible. Gunner Q notes this among the Baptists. To Mark Dever, “Biblical” does not mean “pertaining to God’s Word”. “Biblical” means “I tricked you into taking me seriously”. “MY theology, MY understanding of the Gospel, but first, I Continue Reading

There are those who preach prosperity. The author of Hebrews did not. He preached persecution, referring to the former days — the sufferings and persecution that the Jews who were of Christ had suffered from almost the beginning. They had lost their property and possessions. Some had been killed. And they did not shrink away Continue Reading
Pound, Frustrating Cantos.
You simply cannot find a series of the Cantos on the internet. They are not online: they are published, the books hard to find (yes I have some of them) and there are legal scriveners examining for the text. Perhaps it his fascism: perhaps it is that he’s difficult (not mad): perhaps it is because Continue Reading

I do have advanced degrees, and work, and do advocacy within that — but this blog is anonymous, so I don’t talk about such. I do quote, with this observation: all three sons are finalizing (last papers) their degrees, and all three, though bright, have no intention of gaining advanced diplomas. University is a waste Continue Reading

One of the attacks we face, continually, is that our errors and our sins will damn us. This is not the case. Though we find ourselves falling into weaknesses under temptation, this is not what will damn us. The preacher said on Sunday “if temptation was ugly it would not work. Temptatinn looks beautiful”. We Continue Reading

41 Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?” 42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds Continue Reading
Stay away from crowds.
I do have the temptation of Roosh. I would like to find about two acres of land somewhere rural — and I know where to find such — and build a library with living quarters attached and be off the grid. Come into town about once a week, if that. But Adam is correct: the Continue Reading
Patristics: Polycarp IV.
I have missed doing this on a regular basis, and need to get back to posting the texts from the early writers. Continuing with Polycarp’s letter. But the love of money is the root of all evils. Knowing, therefore, that as we brought nothing into the world, so we can carry nothing out, let us Continue Reading

Josiah the King wanted to reform the quite corrupt and idolatrous practices of the royal court. He had survived the assassination of his father Amon, who is described as corrupt. But he found more than he bargained for. This is not the lectionary text, but it is the verses preceding it. 8 Now in the eighteenth Continue Reading
