Thanks for the link and for your thoughts on homeschooled children, which are an encouragement to us as we prepare to home school our children!

I know a number of home schooled children as well. They, in general, appear more respectful of adults and, also, tend to act more like adults, than their public schooled peers. There are always exceptions, of course, but we believe, for a number of reasons, that home schooling is the right choice for us.

Yes, this is sad. It would truly be a miracle to see true religious liberty in Iraq, so that the Gospel might be spread. We need to continue to pray for that miracle.

Interesting list. I agree with most of your priorities.

Decency: needs to be a decent human being that treats others (i.e. ex-wives) with civility and integrity ... also would like someone who can control their tongue in public [H]

This is also high on my list. Though I would go further and say that I would prefer a candidate with no ex-wives.

I think I've read before that Thompson and McCain were friends in the Senate. I'm not sure there's much policy difference between the two. The difference, I suppose, is in charisma and tact, with Thompson having the advantage.

Jason — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:37:00 -0000

As I said on my blog: The candidates paid for the tickets. It is one of the criticisms of the Straw Poll. But it does still demonstrate how well candidates are able to organize voters, which is important in a caucus state like Iowa, where you have to spend 3 or 4 hours at the caucus to vote.

I’m sure many people were like me. I obtained my ticket from the Huckabee campaign, but then made a donation for the ticket price.

I don't believe there is Biblical support for a distinction between local church and some universal church. A church is a called out assembly. The so-called universal church has never assembled together.

There is room to improve local churches, without doubt, but nowhere does the Bible call us to forsake the assembling together in order to somehow grow closer to God. In fact, it is just the opposite. Heb. 10:24-25: "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

I appreciate his pro-life and pro-homeschooling stands, as well as his disdain for international organizations. Too bad he doesn't support the Federal Marriage Amendment; does not, in my estimation, take seriously enough the jihadists' war against us and Israel; and always seems so angry. I'd vote for him over a number of the other GOP candidates, but he ranks below, at least, Huckabee, Hunter, Tancredo, Brownback, and Romney for me.

Does President Bush "flaunt 'evangelical'"? I'm not so sure. I can't recall him doing that.

And if he did flaunt it, do Christians really give him a pass?

Anonymous, we do not "all acknowledge we come from Abraham." I did not come from Abraham, though I worship the God that he worshiped. Nowhere does the Bible call Abraham the "father of Christianity." He is the father of "many nations." He is most certainly not the father of Islam, for many of Islam's teachings are contrary to Biblical doctrine.

Finally, even if all of us said that we worship the God that Abraham worshiped, that does not make it so.

I was at a YWAM Bible school for 9 months in Canberra. The second thought in your quote I definitely picked up on over there. Aussies and Yanks come at things from different mindsets, and I think God can use the national identity/character for His purposes if we let him.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2008/11/four-commitments-to-barack-obama.html

Jason — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:25:00 -0000

The first and fourth commitments are good.

I need to think about the second commitment. Offhand, it seems inconsequential. How will making that commitment affect my behavior? It does no good to have the right motive if you are horribly wrong in substance. It is substance that we will all be concerned about.

The third commitment is not one I can make. There may come a time (perhaps soon) where it will become necessary to speak ill of Barack Obama in order to stand up for Truth. Making that commitment may conflict with what the Bible commands us to do in a particular situation.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2008/11/four-commitments-to-barack-obama.html

Jason — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:07:00 -0000

Bob -- On what basis do we separate the views of a person from the person? Are not a person's views a part of them? To the extent they are, how could we speak ill of views without also impliedly saying something about the person?

In any event, Jesus spoke ill of people quite a bit. See, e.g., Matt. 12:34; Matt. 15:7; Matt. 16:3-4.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2008/11/four-commitments-to-barack-obama.html

Jason — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 13:31:00 -0000

it is interesting that Jesus never really said those things about governmental officials

I don't see how the distinction matters. Additionally, among the Jews at the time, civil and religious authority overlapped. Moreover, to find examples of speaking ill of government officials, all we have to do is read I and II Kings and I and II Chronicles. It's on just about every page.

What ever happened to the idea of hating the sin (or their views) and loving the sinner?

That's a different question than the 3rd commitment. I can love a person and speak ill of that person.

Do we really love a person when we speak ill of them?

Sometimes, yes. An obvious example is presenting God's plan of salvation. The very first thing a person must understand to be saved is their sinful nature and thus their need to be saved. I must tell them that they are a sinner. That is speaking ill of them.

We should not confuse love with tolerance or nonjudgmentalism.

I choose to believe the best about people that I disagree with

That really goes to commitment #2, not #3. Moreover, sometimes people do not leave it open to us to think that their best is any good.

Jason — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:53:00 -0000

I do think they look nice on women, but I'm about practicality too, and I can't see that very well. I read that one of the actresses for "Twilight" was put in really high heels to support the fact she was supposed to be so beautiful, but the cast all laughed because she couldn't walk in them. They had to carry her to the set, then she did her 1-2 steps. Lots of takes, I guess.

Glad guys don't have things like that. Oh wait, neckties...

Re: Does anyone else suffer extreme anxiety attacks?

Today, I got evaluated for my anxiety problem, I'm taking zoloft, and yeah, I don't really know how to deal w/ it, I cut myself, my wrist, when I want to relieve my anxiety, that does it, but you shouldn't, you should give your son a kiss on the forehead, and think that he needs his mom, if you love him, be strong, if you want him to have a good future, and to keep him out of trouble, do it for him, if you wanna talk to me, just email me, and tell me bout your problem, I bet I can help since I suffer from anxiety myself!

Re: Recipe for the best sauce in the world

Jason — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:14:59 -0000

I thought hollandaise was simpler, just using lemon juice? I do remember (I think) that if you add tarragon to your recipe it would be a bearnaise, right? French sauces can be fun! My favorite mother sauce is bechamel; so easy and versatile.

I really should take the time to clarify my butter. I always made my hollandaise with whole butter. Maybe it's not as refined, but it still tastes good!

Re: Cookbooks in the kitchen: The last place they belong

Jason — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 13:25:00 -0000

Supposedly, the word "recipe" comes from something like "receipt", when books were terribly expensive and the recipe was hand-copied to another sheet of paper before being sent off to the kitchen.

As for me, I mostly buy cookbooks that aren't full of pretty pictures, so many of my cookbooks were just workhorses and have been abused mercilessly. Most of my oldest ones, from when I was first learning how to cook, are in pretty tragic shape, but I considered cookbooks as something meant to be used.

These days, though, I tend to be able to translate most cookbook recipes into a set of idioms and patterns that I can follow from memory, unless some extreme degree of precision would be necessary for the dish to be successful. So I mostly don't need the cookbook in the kitchen. Sometimes my baking books make their way to the dining room table when I'm preparing something I haven't made for a while, but most of the savory items are safe from harm's way...

Jason — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:28:18 -0000

I second the Elanna suggestion, including Kelemvor's reasoning. Here's another advantage of Elanna over Grumph: she's a lot less squishy. You get a 2/2/7 instead of a 2/1/6 and Elanna gets an automatic defensive reroll.

I'm also curious why you think Arcane Shot on Grumpherys would be beneficial to the team? The overall theme is to take advantage of Hemorrhage and there's no synergy there. But combining Expose Armor with a physical attack is helpful, even if the ranged attack doesn't benefit from Hemorrhage.

I enjoy reading your articles, thanks for posting them!

I played in a blind tourney a few weeks ago where I pulled Christia, Harnum and Beren Embersbane. That. Was. Miserable. Leeroy would've been a slight upgrade, but I'm not sure you can do anything with those two priests together. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts.

"Hellfire seems poo poo from the outset, but Attack of Opportunity could have potential.."

Really? I was thinking just the opposite. How often do all of your minis get attacked on a single tick? I don't see AoO ever being worthwhile.

Hellfire, on the other hand, at least has the potential of finishing off low health characters. And I like it on warlocks who already have high health totals to begin with. Not that it will supplant all other great lock cards... or any of them necessarily...

Ditto the above. When you're ready, you'll do it. It took years for me to come out to my dad, and I finally did it last year, but I couldn't push it. You can get ready, sure, but don't rush yourself.

The best way to help yourself get to the point of readiness is to ask yourself what it is that could happen you're so afraid of, and what the consequences would be in the worse-case scenario. Could you live with those consequences? How would they affect you? Would things be better now, withholding the truth, or aftewards, maybe not ideal but being honest about who you are? And how much is what you're afraid of based in what's going on, and how much is it coming from not knowing what would happen? In other words, are you making a mountain out of a molehill?

One other thing: your folks probably aren't stupid (I mean, they raised you up right, right? :) ). They may have some idea. When I finally told Dad after years of not being candid, all he said was, "Yeah, I kinda figured." Me coming out just made it formal. Granted, your parents sound more conservative than mine are, but they still may surprise you. (If it helps any, try and take stock of what they've said in the past regarding queer people... have they used any slurs? Have they complained about the "gay agenda"? It made it easier for me to come out to Dad once I realized that not once have I ever heard him use "faggot" as a slur, or complain about gays, or make snide remarks when the news had footage from the gay pride parade, et cetera.)

Much luck, dearheart. *hugs*

Ugh. My dad started his engineering stint at Monsanto, I think. Glad he wasn't there long.

The MD thread is still going on? Hahahahahahaha!!! That's my favorite. :)

Of course, with this post, you're going to draw even more attention to it, and will get more comments!

Btw, I love the redesign, with the Price is Right. It's one of my favorite game shows too! I didn't comment to the post with the link to that one page with all the video clips because I was too busy enjoying the bloopers. :)

Well, you know, we had to go and rebuild dlevy so he'd be better, faster, stronger -- and now we have to live with it. :)

Uh, yeah, as someone who hasn't seen 160 since junior high, I'd say not to fret it.

So what you're saying is that it's been a busy couple of weeks.

Hang in there, tiger.

Oh come on come *on!* It's not supposed to be high drama, it's a reality game show. The key words here are "game show." Is Bob Barker some kind of thespian? Did the Press Your Luck Whammies go to Juliard? C'mon. The most gripping I've ever found a game show was when I was four years old and scared of the dragon on Tic-Tac-Dough.

Except for maybe this show. I disagree about the elimination of contestants being "needlessly" acted out. The producers of the show are going out of their way to make the experience as real (or at least as much as a simulation) for the contestants as possible, and they've concocted a neat way of letting them know when they're out of the game. I was totally engaged by the end of the show and how Kristen and Shirley had to investigate different locations, by themselves, in the dark, with the murderer waiting for one of them. If I were running a police investigation, I would never send my people out without back-up, sure, but it's a game show, so I'm willing to make certain concessions. Plus, it's so much better than "the tribe has spoken, now go walk over there in the most anticlimactic of manners."

You're right though, Matt... it's so typical that the one black contestant got the boot first. (And as typical for the American Survivor series, it was a woman.) And I agree with you, Mike... what did Shirley do to appear weak? I mean, she stopped everyone from guessing wrong on the killer's question by bringing up the bed linens.

So, as you can see, I'm totally into this show and am going to leave work in time to catch it tonight. My only worry is that they lead the contestants around the investigation by their noses instead of letting them track down leads once the game has started. If they keep getting told where they need to go, then they're just performing stunts.
