Crop Circles

It seems appropriate to revive "CT" with this interesting note on Crop Circles. Hmmm. You mean like in the movie "Signs"? Perhaps. Or on today's Google home page. It's interesting. Eye-catching. But my thought has always been, "How do they do that?" Not how does Google do that, but how do "they" create cc? And it seems that there are a preponderance of them in England. Well, it is after all, "Copious Thoughts." Welcome back.

Nora Continues Laughing at Her Parents

In the continuing saga of Nora laughing at her mommy and daddy (see posts of Jan 30 & Feb 16), here is Part One of her laughing at mommy on the swing set, with Part Two not far behind.

Larry Norman Was Only Visiting This Planet

He was called the father of contemporary Christian music. Larry Norman died this past Sunday, February 24th at the age of 61. Just before his passing, Larry said, "I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God's hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home." Larry's influence in my life was huge. As a young (25) just-beginning radio host, I was playing his music Saturday afternoons on KNIS, when CCM was just in it's youth. With so much more to say, I'll let Larry say it himself.

Blogging is Good Weight Loss Secret

I am increasingly empathetic to people who have difficulty losing weight. I believe it takes more than just will-power, desire or whatever. It really is a combination of factors. This story of Lynn Bering is a good example of someone who acknowledged some of the elements ("you're eating bad food for a reason"), found success through the struggle, and used her blog as part of the process.

What is Wrong with Heaven?

Well, nothing is wrong with heaven. In fact the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:20, that "our citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." But in an interview with Time Magazine, Biblical scholar and theologian N.T. Wright says our understanding about heaven is all wrong. He even says Arnold's wife is wrong! Take a read of what Tom has to say, and give us your thoughts. I'd love to read your comments!
