I am still here. First, let me get some business stuff out of the way.

I cannot check email at work except for my work address. My work email cannot accept email from outside of the company – nobody’s email can at the moment. It has been this way for a few days. We don’t use Outlook or any of the *nix products, it’s unique.

So, I love all of you, but you’ve had no way to contact me short of calling me, and I haven’t been well enough to answer the phone if you have. Not sick, just tired. Imagine staying awake for 72 hours, that is the equivalent of what it’s been like the past few days.

So, you can email me at a pinakidion address, but I can’t answer until nighttime. When my work email works again, I’ll let you know.

**************************
Outside of that, I have spent the last three weeks finishing Lenga. The world is complete with some descriptive bits needing some attention. I’ve also come close to getting a prototype for the computer project I mentioned earlier. I say prototype because it is a *nix solution.

As mrtool pointed out to me, now I need a story to take place in this world of Lenga. Maybe this summer…

What I hope to talk about soon are:

We talked with one of the churches of christ in town and failed the test of fellowship. We are instrumental (though in theology only, the last time we actually *had* an instrument was long ago) and so we can attend their church as guests, not brothers. It’s okay, in building unity, these things will happen.

Alan did a great series on CENI, Command, Example, Necessary Inference. It is the hermenutic of most conservative churches of Christ. Discussing it and a model of spirituality at the church I attend gave me some food for thought that I’d like to share. They are related, really.

We had a heat wave here of 38 degrees yesterday. It is short lived as the snow and 10 below temperatures will return. For those that like the cold, all I will say is that you are welcome to pay my heating bill.

More later, just letting everyone know that I am, indeed, alive.
