  • SMASH: I was in a car accident

    As I gingerly pulled a shard of glass from my forearm this morning, I thought I might blog about the car accident I had this past Wednesday. Following is an excerpt of a message I emailed to my coworkers on Thursday morning. I was in a 2-car collision last night while I was driving my…

  • Pistol practice, Apr 25, 2009

    I hit the range again this morning for a practice 900 bullseye match. What a beautiful morning! I started just after 8 AM and was facing East, and the sunshine played a nice highlighting on my iron sights. Gun: .22 caliber Ruger Mk II Ammo: Winchester Super-X .22 long rifle standard velocity Slow fires were…

  • First pistol practice of the season!

    I made it to the range today! The afternoon was sunny and seemed like it was in the high 30s. My fingers were stiff on the cold pistol, but the lighting was beautiful and the wind was light. This was the first time I’ve shot at the Saginaw Field & Stream club. It has an…

  • Switching to WordPress

    In 2003, I started this blog on the then young Blogger.com service, linked in with my web space at MSU. Shortly thereafter I switched to MovableType and stayed with MT for a few versions. In a recent MT upgrade, I wasn’t pleased with the process. So, I’ve just switched to WordPress, which I had used…

  • Faith, as from Hebrews and Tozer

    Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 I’ve been reading A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” again, and have spent time considering a way he describes faith. Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God. A.W. Tozer in…
