My blog

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at blogging, please be patient with me. I have always been passionately interested in science and always been a committed Christian who believes in the creative power of God, and I honestly believe that the two are not mutually exclusive. I would like to use this blog to explore this relationship.

Calvin and Hobbes discuss Heaven

This has always been a favourite comic of mine and miss it a lot.  I do get it sent to my e-mail every day.  Calvin is the boy and Hobbes is the tiger, real to no-one except Calvin.  To everyone else he's a stuffed animal.

Food Court Flash Mob: The Hallelujah Chorus

When something brings tears to my eyes, emotional wreck that I am at times, I want to share it.  This is good enough, definitely, to share.

Yea though I walk through the valley

Sometimes I feel like that cat.  I wonder who never feels like that at times.  Cheers everyone.  I hope your day is wonderful, or at least passable!  Just never forget that you who believe in a loving God are always protected.

More (yet more) on the Science-Religion debate

Trying to find the middle ground, if there is one.  Mr. Giberson wonders as I do whether one side is right and the other side is wrong.  That this should be is itself up for debate.  And if there is a middle ground, which "team" would those who stand there be on?

Just an awesome video, to celebrate the reign of Christ.

The Rainbow Bridge

We lost our little dog Sparky last night.  His soul left his body at about midnight and he's now free of whatever demons caused him pain and suffering in his last days.  He was only two and a half years old by the calendar and was a joy to have in our family.  He was very affectionate towards everyone and regularly tried to clean my toe-jam, my ears, what have you.  If he was left alone in the house for even 30 minutes while we went to do grocery shopping, he told us off loudly on our return.  BARK BARK BARK BARK at Karen, at me, until we were sufficiently chastised.  When the kids got home from school, big greetings.  When friends came by, big greetings.  He loved to play and would chase whatever toy we would throw for him, and if we threw another while he was coming back with the first one, he would drop toy 1 and go after toy 2.  He loved everyone and tolerated the Cats as they tolerated him.  Until they got too close to his toys.  Then BARK BARK BARK BARK!  We don't know why he got sick and died but at least he's out of pain now.  And we will forever remember him.
