https://pinakidion.org/posts/2007-10-05-speaking-of-code/ <p>I&rsquo;m learning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK_%5C%28programming_language%5C%29" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">awk</a>. I know, I know, perl can do all the text extraction stuff, it&rsquo;s better, it&rsquo;s the 800 pound gorilla of text processing languages.</p> <p>But I understand awk better, I guess it&rsquo;s just me.</p> <p>Basically, along the lines of the football stuff I mentioned earlier, I have a program that generates entire seasons of football games. The player information and team information is pretty detailed. It takes some time to create a team, but only about 25 seconds to generate an entire season. Considering that I&rsquo;m rewriting history from 1985, that&rsquo;s 21 seasons in the fall league and the spring league, as well as some college stuff. Why? History, especially alternate history, has to be self-consistent. If I start talking about a USFL Hall of Fame in Trenton and the ongoing battle with the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, I need to have players and player stats to write a convincing story.</p> <p>Anyway, the issue I had was taking the stats of a given game in my alternate reality seasons and putting them in a database.</p> <p>The guy who wrote the computer game (GPL of course) tried to write a perl script, but it doesn&rsquo;t work. I tried to fix it, but it was quite difficult as it takes me a while to translate English to perl search routines.</p> <p>So, I figure, I can deal with a two step process of extracting data into comma separated files and loading a database from those files. So far, I can extract many of the statistics pretty well, but there&rsquo;s more to do. It sounds like a lot of work, but really, all I&rsquo;ve had to do is figure out how to create teams from statistics and now run data extraction scripts to place new stats into a database. The hardest part was giving up on perl, for now.</p> <p>So, yes, I am using a program originally written when I was 6.</p> <p>Here is an example output of a game: (It&rsquo;s really long)</p>

https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-09-14-draft-submitted-to-the-board/ <p>To the members of the Unity Committee:</p> <p>Composing a list of concerns for an entire church, even a small one of barely 100, is a daunting task. The only consensus that can be suggested is an ambivalence to the proposal and a focus on local concerns. In asking various members about their thoughts, it became clear that there are members that have little concern with the Unity Proposal as written. It would be unfair to them to present a list of concerns without presenting their list of accolades for the Unity Proposal. In short, it does not appear that there is one list of concerns or one list of accolades that can be written to represent the Omaha Church of Christ. In lieu of this, this document will attempt to express the range of concerns and accolades expressed by members and former members of our church in response to the Unity Proposal.</p>

what your book says about him, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean that it is true. Listen here, Mark, I know that you think everything in books is true, but that just idn&rsquo;t so. This guy writes about local history, but he weren&rsquo;t here to live it. He&rsquo;s from New Jersey. What does he know about us? Nothing. Not a dang thing. Take for instance what he says about Buffalo City, or what he don&rsquo;t say. They had a train stop that went to Atlanta and Charleston. He don&rsquo;t even mention that, but he sure goes to a lot of trouble to talk about all the stores they had and the electrical lights and all that modern stuff. Daddy told me all about Buffalo City. Your Grandma lived there. While your Grandpa was courting her, he would drive up there and try to sound all up-to-date by naming all the new stuff they had and bragging about how he knew how to work the new washing machines.</p> <p>But that&rsquo;s another story, and you idn&rsquo;t at all interested in stuff like that.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-06-13-fistful-of-diamonds/ Tue, 13 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-06-13-fistful-of-diamonds/ <p>Mark was sitting on the front porch of Matherson&rsquo;s store watching the town&rsquo;s most prominent men play cards. Mark wasn&rsquo;t playing today. In fact, it is said that the two surest ways to throw away money are to buy a boat and play cards with Mark Pritchett. Anyway, today he was not in the business of making money for his boat. Instead, he was trying to teach his grandson the art of playing cards. Mark had always considered the art of cards as the one good thing he could give to his children and to their children. (His son Matt made his own way through college.)</p> <p>&ldquo;Now Caleb, the first thing you do is play cards where there&rsquo;s a cat. Cats are instinctive. They know who&rsquo;s going to win the money and how long a person&rsquo;s going to play before he leaves.&rdquo;</p> <p>Caleb listened on with temporary devotion.</p> <p>&ldquo;Now you see Ol&rsquo; Numbers, there? He&rsquo;s been here about as long as I have. Now, he weren&rsquo;t raised no dummy, he knows what he&rsquo;s doing. &quot; Mark paused to catch his breath. &ldquo;Now see,&rdquo; he said pointing to the cat, &ldquo;he&rsquo;s sitting under Zach over there and a-wagging his tail. That means Zach&rsquo;s gonna win, but he ain&rsquo;t gonna play for more than twenty minutes or so. You got that?&rdquo; Mark pointed at Officer Zachary Taylor and Judge Tillett. &ldquo;Now listen very carefully to what they say.&rdquo;</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-06-13-stories-at-home/

before the details, here it is:</p> <p>I&rsquo;m staying for now. I better understand the perspective of the board and the minister - we actually want the same things and have a very similar line of thought on almost everything. It&rsquo;s funny that with the same thoughts and reservations, one side can conclude &ldquo;Sign it because it doesn&rsquo;t hurt us&rdquo; while the other side concludes &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t sign it because it can only hurt us&rdquo;. The real work of any kind of unity requires us to work together despite two different conclusions.</p> <p>I took a stand for something I strongly believe. I also committed myself to working it out until I got an answer - and that answer could have been that I leave the church I attend. I wanted a certain answer, but I was and still am willing to accept that an agreement cannot be reached (thus I leave). I feel like the minister did the same - he strongly believes in togetherness and family. He was committed to me as a friend and wanted to understand why I am outraged at the UP. He was hoping that I wouldn&rsquo;t leave, but would be my friend either way.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-20-seven-days/ Thu, 20 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-20-seven-days/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-17-we-werent-the-only-ones/ Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-17-we-werent-the-only-ones/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-13-catching-up/ Thu, 13 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-13-catching-up/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-10-one-reason-why-i-attend/ Mon, 10 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-10-one-reason-why-i-attend/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-09-chick-fil-a-chronicles/ Sun, 09 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-09-chick-fil-a-chronicles/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-07-ephesians-chapter-one/ Fri, 07 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-07-ephesians-chapter-one/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-07-gospel-of-judas/ Fri, 07 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-07-gospel-of-judas/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-07-recent-events/ Fri, 07 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-07-recent-events/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-05-authenticity-and-marketing/ Wed, 05 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-05-authenticity-and-marketing/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-04-4281991-432006/ Tue, 04 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-04-4281991-432006/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-04-african-lit-class/ Tue, 04 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-04-04-african-lit-class/ https://pinakidion.org/pages/2006-04-04-scoreboard/ Tue, 04 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/pages/2006-04-04-scoreboard/ <p><strong>UNITY PLAN SCORES:</strong> The Unity Plan for Cooperation has recorded the first list of churches to adopt the proposal.</p> <p><strong>2006 SCOREBOARD UPDATE:</strong> Here&rsquo;s where we stand this week (as of 4/18):</p> <ul> <li>Churches that have signed the Unity Plan: <strong>144</strong></li> <li>Churches currently deliberating the plan: <strong>411</strong></li> <li>Church that have presently declined the Plan: <strong>6</strong></li> </ul> <p>Latest yes votes**<em>8</em>**: ASIA/PACIFIC <em><strong>Korea:</strong></em> Seoul (West, East) Church of Christ</p> <p>NORTH AMERICA <em><strong>United States:</strong></em> Antelope Valley Church of Christ, Bloomington Church of Christ, Columbia Church of Christ, Bozeman Christian Church, Central Montana Christian Church (Great Falls), Missoula Christian Church, The Memphis Church</p> <p><strong>****************************************************************</strong></p> <p><strong>SURPRISE!</strong> A church affiliated with the Portland International Church of Christ has signed the agreement. Unlike the Salt Lake Christian Church that deliberated last Wed (4/12), the Greater Baltimore Church of Christ has signed on to the plan. It is tempting to find evidence of a conspriacy or of a split within the other ICC. If this editor were to offer a conjecture, it would be that leaders of Baltimore, like many other churches, simply did not think through the implications of the written document. Instead, they did not want to look like they were disunified, so they signed the document.</p> <p>As of April 14, 2006 Count of yes votes (<strong>6</strong>): AFRICA <em><strong>Nambia:</strong></em> Windhoek Church of Christ</p> <p>MIDDLE EAST <em><strong>Cyprus:</strong></em> Limassol Church of Christ</p> <p>NORTH AMERICA <em><strong>United States:</strong></em> Ft.

It usually means that I had a series of complete thoughts, but not a complete idea, or the time to develop the complete idea. Well, this time, I think I have the time to finish at least one of these more-later&rsquo;s. This one pertains to the theological issues in the Unity Proposal. It is long.</p> <p>The theological issues are:</p> <ul> <li>The inconsistency of our overall theology.</li> <li>Unresolved issues regarding Control and Obedience</li> </ul>

https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-21-1-thessalonians-background/ <p>Before looking at the text itself, a little background of Paul and company&rsquo;s visite to Thessalonika:</p> <p>In Acts 16, Paul and Silas are in Philippi. At the very end of the chapter, the jailer in their prison becomes a believer. When the city officials declare that Paul and company should be released, Paul demands a personal escort as a Roman citizen. When they are escorted from prison, they go to Lydia&rsquo;s house to encourage the brothers before leaving.</p> <p>Keep in mind that they had been flogged. Their visit to Lydia&rsquo;s house may have been a few days.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-20-google-reference/ Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-20-google-reference/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-20-they-come-today/ Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-20-they-come-today/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-14-system-of-measurement/ Sat, 14 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-14-system-of-measurement/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-12-preach-the-word/ Thu, 12 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-12-preach-the-word/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-11-keep-on-praying/ Wed, 11 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-11-keep-on-praying/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-11-um-yeah/ Wed, 11 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-11-um-yeah/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-10-grace/ Tue, 10 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-10-grace/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-10-kipism-on-the-rise/ Tue, 10 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-10-kipism-on-the-rise/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-10-of-discipling/ Tue, 10 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-10-of-discipling/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-09-35-day-itch/ Mon, 09 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-09-35-day-itch/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-08-salguodnet/ Sun, 08 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-08-salguodnet/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-07-iron-thoughts/ Sat, 07 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-07-iron-thoughts/ <p>There are certain thoughts rattling around in my head that I just cannot shake. Maybe it is me being unfair, maybe I am totally inflexible. Worse yet, maybe I expect people to conform to my standards of spirituality (which may be extra-biblical at best).</p> <p><strong>1. Some people simply have to be told what to do.</strong></p> <p>It seems to be true in my experience. You place someone in an environment where they are expected to be responsible for their own spirituality and they do nothing. They are waiting to be told what to do. So a minister or other person sits down with them and explains good things to do and encourages the strengthening of their own personal convictions and makes it clear that they need to &lsquo;go after&rsquo; their own spirituality.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-05-a-look-forward/ Thu, 05 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-05-a-look-forward/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-05-hard-times/ Thu, 05 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-05-hard-times/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-04-most-dangerous-idea/ Wed, 04 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-04-most-dangerous-idea/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-01-happy-new-year/ Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2006-01-01-happy-new-year/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-29-the-split-of-a-split/ Thu, 29 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-29-the-split-of-a-split/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-28-a-look-back/ Wed, 28 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-28-a-look-back/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-28-blogistan/ Wed, 28 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-28-blogistan/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-26-who-is-god/ Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-26-who-is-god/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-21-fun-stuff-during-off-time/ Wed, 21 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-21-fun-stuff-during-off-time/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-21-old-christmas/ Wed, 21 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-21-old-christmas/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-20-and-now-for-something-completely-the-same/ Tue, 20 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-20-and-now-for-something-completely-the-same/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-20-bone-conducting-hearing-aid/ Tue, 20 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-20-bone-conducting-hearing-aid/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-attack-of-the-clones/ Mon, 19 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-attack-of-the-clones/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-bolton-ipswich/ Mon, 19 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-bolton-ipswich/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-the-wait-is-over/ Mon, 19 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-the-wait-is-over/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-today-is-the-day/ Mon, 19 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-19-today-is-the-day/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-14-the-christmas-witch/ Wed, 14 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-14-the-christmas-witch/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-11-birthday/ Sun, 11 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-11-birthday/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-10-stepping-stones-week-two/ Sat, 10 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-10-stepping-stones-week-two/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-10-swords-arrows/ Sat, 10 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-10-swords-arrows/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-08-going-crazy/ Thu, 08 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-08-going-crazy/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-08-this-thing-on/ Thu, 08 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-08-this-thing-on/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-07-in-depth-exercise-for-week-one/ Wed, 07 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-07-in-depth-exercise-for-week-one/ https://pinakidion.org/pages/2005-12-05-good-news-responses-from-our-upsidedown21-website/ Mon, 05 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/pages/2005-12-05-good-news-responses-from-our-upsidedown21-website/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-05-not-surprised-2/ Mon, 05 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-05-not-surprised-2/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-01-how-to-argue-about-christianity/ Thu, 01 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-12-01-how-to-argue-about-christianity/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-30-how-to-argue/ Wed, 30 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-30-how-to-argue/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-29-upcoming-conference/ Tue, 29 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-29-upcoming-conference/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-19-on-loss-hearing-and-otherwise/ Sat, 19 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-19-on-loss-hearing-and-otherwise/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-19-stepping-stones-introduction/ Sat, 19 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-19-stepping-stones-introduction/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-18-kwemara-the-celestial-killers/ Fri, 18 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-18-kwemara-the-celestial-killers/ <p>The ancient Ikan poet Gajus tells of a land in the far east where they do not worship the Gods or the Titans. Instead they worship a Creator whom they regard as Father. They also live to serve the emissaries of the Father-Creator called the Kwemara. The Kwemara have another name, the God-Killers.</p> <p>As with all ken, in begins with their story of the creation of the universe.</p> <p>When the Celestial world was created, the children of the Creator soon rose to fight each other for control. Their hostility was so great, that they killed their father, the Great Creator. Upon his death, the two sides ended their conflict to finish the work of creation. The Titans, like their father, finished creating the wonders of the universe: planets, comets, stars. As they completed various sections of the sky, they set the heavenly bodies into motion. They created increasingly fanciful worlds trying to outdo each other. When they finished their work, they set themselves to indulge and enjoy the works they created.</p> <p>To keep the peace, the Gods created a precious few worlds preferring to avoid conflict with the Titans, at least for now. For thousands of years, it appeared that they would not create at all, but instead withdraw into their few worlds and prevent the celstial war from starting again. However, the Gods were creating, but they, like their father, were creating the ken of the universe.</p> <p>For a while, there was a tense peace in the universe.</p> <p>However, the Titans were not happy sharing the universe with ken. Most of their hatred came from the fact that the Gods created ken. The Titans then began to enslave all manner of ken and subjugate the creation of the Gods.</p> <p>This was exactly what the Gods predicted the Titans would do. Their secret was that they created ken to strive for something outside themselves. For most ken, that something was power. Some strove for knowledge, others strove for art, a few strove to understand the Father Creator. The Gods also created ken to embrace freedom and abhor being controlled.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-18-recently-2/ Fri, 18 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-18-recently-2/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-17-esbrus-the-capital-of-the-empire/ Thu, 17 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-11-17-esbrus-the-capital-of-the-empire/ <p>The center of the Hesberian Empire lies in its own province south of Tecia marked by gently rolling hills.

In part, it was a reaction to reading about efforts to &ldquo;balance out&rdquo; works-oriented theology with grace-oriented theology by leaders in the IC0C subculture. It struck me as odd that an unbiblical practice would require balance instead of elimination. It also struck me as strange that by implication, grace also needed to be balanced out. I certainly do not want grace to be &ldquo;balanced out&rdquo; for me as I have no righteousness of my own to use as counter-balance. I believe I know what was <em>meant</em>: there was a fear that teaching too much grace would demotivate people from acts of service, love, kindness, etc. Still, the bottom line is a concern about what a person does instead of who a person is.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-10-04-no-news-is-good-news/ Tue, 04 Oct 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-10-04-no-news-is-good-news/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-30-batmanr-handbook/ Fri, 30 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-30-batmanr-handbook/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-30-coolest-radio-ever/ Fri, 30 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-30-coolest-radio-ever/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-30-ilosian-remix-rough-draft/ Fri, 30 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-30-ilosian-remix-rough-draft/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-29-lingua-franca/ Thu, 29 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-29-lingua-franca/ <p>Waiting for the baby to arrive gives me some time to work on Dira in a bit of a different way. I work on it to keep myself occupied while my wife is asleep or a way to release from the day. My boss and I are trying to get a lot done for actuaries before I leave to spend time with mom and baby, so it&rsquo;s sometimes hard to get a break from my work life and not take it home.</p> <p>In Dira, I want to make sure that the various cultures are not two-dimensional. To that end, I figure that if their language is more detailed and fleshed out, more can be inferred about their culture. For now, I don&rsquo;t want to necessarily create a language from scratch, though I have some tools that would help me do that. I want the Hesberian to feel somewhat Roman. So I decided to use Latin as a base to make a language. I added a sound or two and eliminated some others, but the result is something I hope will vaguely sound Latin, thus feel a little Roman.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-28-oh-baby/ Wed, 28 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-28-oh-baby/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-23-left-handed-thoughts/ Fri, 23 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-23-left-handed-thoughts/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-23-update-on-computer-business/ Fri, 23 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-23-update-on-computer-business/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-22-guiding-hand-of-god/ Thu, 22 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-22-guiding-hand-of-god/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-21-interesting-book/ Wed, 21 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-21-interesting-book/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-19-unity-proposal/ Mon, 19 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-19-unity-proposal/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-15-fusion-the-5-bladed-wonder/ Thu, 15 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-15-fusion-the-5-bladed-wonder/ https://pinakidion.org/pages/2005-09-14-celebrating-50/ Wed, 14 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/pages/2005-09-14-celebrating-50/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-14-interesting-juxtaposition/ Wed, 14 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-14-interesting-juxtaposition/ <p>I&rsquo;m listening to the news and two stories came back to back. The first was an interview with Sen. Lieberman about Brown&rsquo;s rise to head of FEMA. The second was an interview with Kofi Annan about reform efforts of the United Nations.

He called this prime mover, the Brejnum. The Brejnum was known long before Eristotle, but only as the unknowable, inscrutable creator of all things. Although worship of the Old Gods is common, worship of Brejnum is uncommon. It is mentioned in the invocation of the Senate each year and in the election of the consul. It is traditional for the consuls (and before them, the em porers) to call on Brejnum to be the first cause of justice for the people and the preservation of the republic.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-08-encouraging-night/ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-08-encouraging-night/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-08-site-update/ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-08-site-update/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-07-magic-in-dira/ Wed, 07 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-07-magic-in-dira/ <p>To talk about current learning in regards to Magic, it is important to give a brief history of the thinkers and philosophers that make up a large part of Hesberian thought. Eristotle laid the groundwork for the physics of magic. Onhedius did much to frame the ideas behind curative magic. Despite the facr that both lived hundreds of years before the existence of magic, modern thinkers found that many of their concepts still hold true. Not everything about magic is understood. Despite the presentation of modern Hesberian thought presented here, there are exceptions to the rules that no one has been able to adequately explain. Since magic is a relatively new science, it is not as thought out as mathematics or physics.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-09-07-swings/ Wed, 07 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000

DisciplesToday called the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051227004514/http://www.disciplestoday.com:80/Login.aspx?goto=050715_NewFrontierIntro_RLamb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">New Frontier</a> asking for feedback. I am going to post what I wrote back, but before I do, I felt like some explanation is in order.</p> <p>You&rsquo;d probably expect that I would dive in guns blazing going after these folks like I do others. However, I did not do any such thing and I want to explain why.</p> <p>There is a difference between a threat and an invitation. A threat is our divisive brother in Portland <a href="http://www.portlandchurch.org/archives/archives.php?file=discipling.php&amp;dir=/2005/07/&amp;section=more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">demanding discipling</a>. It is his way or the highway. He has already sought to reconstruct other churches and create division between evangelists and elders in Atlanta. His writings are intended to show that God is on his side, but not on yours, so get in line.</p> <p>An invitation is something like what Roger wrote. It explains the problem as he sees it and asks for feedback in the way ahead. This is constructive and positive. We can be civil and talk about what we need to do. I think we need to do a lot, but there&rsquo;s no sense in blasting an invitation, even if I disagree with Roger in certain matters. This is the kind of invitation I have been longing to see because I still have hope that the former ICoC can be something good. As it is, there is not much good in the ICoC subculture at all, but I believe that can change.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-18-john-151-11/ Mon, 18 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-18-john-151-11/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-18-new-scroll-fragments-found/ Mon, 18 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-18-new-scroll-fragments-found/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-16-history-of-the-republic-iii-a-near-fall/ Sat, 16 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-16-history-of-the-republic-iii-a-near-fall/ <p>After the administration of Cajus Tigius, the senate named a new consul in late 5883. The economy was sluggish and Cajus&rsquo; military reforms caused some grumbling, but considering the cataclysm almost forty-six years before, Hesberia was considered stable.</p> <p>This stability gave them adavantage when the military pushed to reclaim eastern lands. Many of the former provinces fell into chaos. Some areas formed city-states while other areas were without both law and order. This chaos prevented some eastern warlords from taking advantage of magical aspects of warfare. Against a more trained and organized army, these warlords fell quickly. Military reforms begun by Awrelius and continued by Cajus transformed the Hesberian military from a plodding infantry heavy force, to a quick, mobile force capable of attacking airborne and ground troops.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-16-new-house/ Sat, 16 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-16-new-house/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-15-moac-2005/ Fri, 15 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-15-moac-2005/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-15-pituforrobotines/ Fri, 15 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-15-pituforrobotines/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-12-whatever-happened-to-henry-kriete/ Tue, 12 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-12-whatever-happened-to-henry-kriete/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-10-in-remembrance-of-me/ Sun, 10 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-10-in-remembrance-of-me/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-09-one-other-thing/ Sat, 09 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-09-one-other-thing/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-09-this-may-be-unfair/ Sat, 09 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-09-this-may-be-unfair/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-08-comments/ Fri, 08 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-08-comments/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-divisive-brother-in-portland/ Thu, 07 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-divisive-brother-in-portland/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-great-simplification-deux/ Thu, 07 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-great-simplification-deux/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-history-of-the-repiblic-ii/ Thu, 07 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-history-of-the-repiblic-ii/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-sulemus-budimis/ Thu, 07 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-07-sulemus-budimis/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-06-the-message-from-the-pulpit/ Wed, 06 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-06-the-message-from-the-pulpit/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-06-this-past-week/ Wed, 06 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-06-this-past-week/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-01-266/ Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-01-266/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-01-upgrade/ Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-01-upgrade/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-01-welcome-to-my-world-2/ Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-07-01-welcome-to-my-world-2/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-30-roman-history/ Thu, 30 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-30-roman-history/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-30-icoc-investigation-site/ Thu, 30 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-30-icoc-investigation-site/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-25-abnegation-of-reason/ Sat, 25 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-25-abnegation-of-reason/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-23-i-palindrome-i/ Thu, 23 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-23-i-palindrome-i/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-22-how-to-achieve-ugly/ Wed, 22 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-22-how-to-achieve-ugly/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-21-things-get-busy/ Tue, 21 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-21-things-get-busy/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-20-first-fathers-day/ Mon, 20 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-20-first-fathers-day/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-16-are-we-men/ Thu, 16 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-16-are-we-men/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-16-may-the-force-be-with-you-part-two/ Thu, 16 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-16-may-the-force-be-with-you-part-two/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-15-may-the-force-be-with-you-part-one/ Wed, 15 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-15-may-the-force-be-with-you-part-one/ <p>Forgive the irreverance, but everytime I heard that phrase, I always thought &ldquo;and also with you&rdquo;. It was something I learned in an Episcopal Church that has always stuck out in my mind. It was just so automatic. The priest would say to the church, &ldquo;the Lord be with you&rdquo; and instantly a crowd of 400 would reply in one voice, &ldquo;and also with you&rdquo;.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s a rhythm thing, I can&rsquo;t resist.</p> <p>On to serious matters, though, it seems that our brother in Portland has been to the movies lately. It seems that his rhetoric is racheting up and is only bound to increase as he works through a study of the book of Revelations. I&rsquo;ll give you a hint into those sermons - Thomas and his doctrine will be on the side of God. All others will be on the side of Satan. All symbolism that points to the Christian church will point to his specifically controlled, er, influenced congregations. The message intended to remind early Christians that God is sovereign and encourage them in their fight against Satan (and not the Romans) will be twisted into grow faster at all costs.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-14-staff-and-ethics/ Tue, 14 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-14-staff-and-ethics/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-14-who-am-i/ Tue, 14 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-14-who-am-i/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-13-a-tree-and-its-fruit/ Mon, 13 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-13-a-tree-and-its-fruit/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-13-camping/ Mon, 13 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-13-camping/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-09-recently/ Thu, 09 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-09-recently/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-03-emergent-response/ Fri, 03 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-03-emergent-response/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-01-medical-accounts-of-the-crucifixion/ Wed, 01 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-06-01-medical-accounts-of-the-crucifixion/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-30-before-and-after/ Mon, 30 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-30-before-and-after/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-30-the-emergent-order/ Mon, 30 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-30-the-emergent-order/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-24-research-verses-that-god-remembers-me/ Tue, 24 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-24-research-verses-that-god-remembers-me/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-20-site-reorg/ Fri, 20 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-20-site-reorg/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-19-good-news-from-my-workplace/ Thu, 19 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-19-good-news-from-my-workplace/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-19-good-reads/ Thu, 19 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-19-good-reads/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-19-the-picture-on-my-desk-draft/ Thu, 19 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-19-the-picture-on-my-desk-draft/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-18-religious-ozone/ Wed, 18 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-18-religious-ozone/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-17-set-theory-ii/ Tue, 17 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-17-set-theory-ii/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-16-set-theory/ Mon, 16 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-16-set-theory/ <p>I was reading an article on church as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070808172255/http://www.btinternet.com:80/~smallritual/section4/settheory.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">set theory</a> and I enjoyed it. I know it appeals to my visual side and my mathematical side, but I also like the idea that those that make up the members of the church are not always set, or necessarily known by any one person. I believe that many under the &rsquo;territorial&rsquo; model see the gates of Heaven and the doors to their fellowship of local churches as the same thing.</p> <p>I thought about it for awhile and decided that I wanted to expand on it a bit. I&rsquo;m not saying this is any better or worse, it is just what went through my mind as I thought about set theory.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-15-need-a-dose-of-reality/ Sun, 15 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-15-need-a-dose-of-reality/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-14-ultrasound/ Sat, 14 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-14-ultrasound/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-13-another-blog-to-read/ Fri, 13 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-13-another-blog-to-read/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-11-eferim-draft/ Wed, 11 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-11-eferim-draft/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-10-alternate-timeline-of-pauls-letters/ Tue, 10 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-10-alternate-timeline-of-pauls-letters/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-10-great-post-on-another-blog/ Tue, 10 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-10-great-post-on-another-blog/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-10-who-paying-for-this/ Tue, 10 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-10-who-paying-for-this/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-09-big-announcement/ Mon, 09 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-09-big-announcement/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-09-disciple-as-verb-iii/ Mon, 09 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-09-disciple-as-verb-iii/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-09-new-ufe-in-windows-longhorn/ Mon, 09 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-09-new-ufe-in-windows-longhorn/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-07-well-what-do-you-know/ Sat, 07 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-07-well-what-do-you-know/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-04-exhaustion/ Wed, 04 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-04-exhaustion/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-03-a-few-thoughts-while-not-sleeping/ Tue, 03 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-03-a-few-thoughts-while-not-sleeping/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-03-she-passed/ Tue, 03 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-03-she-passed/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-03-whatever-happened-to-cobind/ Tue, 03 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-03-whatever-happened-to-cobind/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-02-thank-you-for-the-prayers/ Mon, 02 May 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-05-02-thank-you-for-the-prayers/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-30-comments-now-working/ Sat, 30 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-30-comments-now-working/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-30-welcome-to-my-world/ Sat, 30 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-30-welcome-to-my-world/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-29-history-of-the-icoc-template/ Fri, 29 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-29-history-of-the-icoc-template/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-28-its-snowing/ Thu, 28 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-28-its-snowing/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-28-need-prayers/ Thu, 28 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-28-need-prayers/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-26-sunday-devotional/ Tue, 26 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-26-sunday-devotional/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-23-learning-about-god-through-creation/ Sat, 23 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-23-learning-about-god-through-creation/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-19-disciple-as-verb-part-two/ Tue, 19 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-04-19-disciple-as-verb-part-two/ <p>Note: This has now been finished.

A lot of this comes from the insight of my wife, to whom I want to give tons of credit. I&rsquo;ve been looking forward to this for two weeks. My intial reaction wasn&rsquo;t so positive, but after some time of prayer and reflection, I saw this as the potentially good idea that it turned out to be.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been thinking about how to present the &ldquo;Teaching Ministry&rdquo; in a way that will engage people. My biggest concern was that folks would think that they didn&rsquo;t want to stand up and teach the Bible to a large group. There&rsquo;s a difference between something called a &ldquo;Teaching Ministry&rdquo; and an &ldquo;Adult Education Ministry&rdquo;. The issue I had was trying to make it accessible to as many as possible. Why? Because this ministry needs others that can edit and organize. It needs folks to manage the church website and the church library. It needs perspectives from members of the church that can serve many people. In short, it needs more than just the teachers.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-03-17-in-search-of-the-historical-st-patrick/ Thu, 17 Mar 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-03-17-in-search-of-the-historical-st-patrick/ <p>It&rsquo;s the time of year when everyone tries to find a bit of Irish blood in their genealogy.

The Aldersgate Retreat center is run by the United Methodist Church in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220303191111/https://www.villisca.com/city_of_villisca_iowa.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Villisca, Iowa</a>. The advantage of it is that they provide food and shelter for up to 64 people and it is only a little over an hour away. That allows us to spend Saturday night and still attend church of Sunday.</p> <p>Although the theme was a good one, it was pointed out that if you had come to the retreat with your own agenda, feel free to do so. My agenda was pretty straightforward: Be Still and Know that He is God. All I wanted to do is find a place that was far away from anyone to pray, meditate and sing. Little did I know what the weather had in store for all of us.</p> <p>I was glad to hear a brief lesson on meditation Saturday morning. Joel requested that everyone to try and sit still for 20 minutes and just listen. It amazes me how hard this is to do. Thanks to the declared two hours of silence in our cabin, this was easier for most folks. It certainly helped me when I got back from my outside adventure.</p> <p>Now I had gone out Friday night to pray. The wind was blowing pretty hard, but the wind chill was still a little above zero. The main focus of my prayer was to stop seeing myself as the underdog in my day to day life. It was intense and the noise of the wind kept others from hearing my shouting.</p> <p>All in all, very good time spent.</p> <p>However, come Saturday, the tempature dropped to the single digits. This would have been fine except for the increased winds from last night. We now had windchills in the thirty and forty below zero region. Most people with some sense of sanity look at this and ponder their options:</p> <p>Option 1: Stay inside, enjoy all manner of coffees and hot teas. Option 2: Venture out as far as my car and sit in my car. Option 3: Venture outside and freeze the remaining braincell into silence.</p> <p>I think it&rsquo;s safe to say that Option 1 is the sane and normal choice of most people.</p> <p>There were a few folks that chose Option 2 due to the number of folks that chose Option 1. The cabins was a bit crowded with 32 guys trying to find &lsquo;personal space&rsquo; in the cabin. I know this because I was one of maybe three or four that chose Option 3; I saw the Option 2 guys running to their cars.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-01-24-yay/ Mon, 24 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-01-24-yay/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-01-19-why-i-go-to-church/ Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-01-19-why-i-go-to-church/ <p><strong>Introduction</strong> I&rsquo;ve been thinking about Portland, lately. A lot of critics are waiting for the Postmodern Day Movement of God(R) to implode, but it&rsquo;s doing the exact opposite. Granted, the way that numbers are being kept may be suspect, the fact is that the Portland International Church of Christ is growing fairly quickly, as far as can be told by outside observers. For the sake of argument, I&rsquo;m going to say that Thomas&rsquo;s reporting of his church&rsquo;s growth is accurate. Keep in mind that I&rsquo;m talking about the numbers, not the causes.</p> <p>Why is this happening? What draws so many people to this church?</p> <p>Looking at some new members&rsquo; comments, they seem to mention some common elements: energy, growth, commitment, vision, and family. These aren&rsquo;t bad things, in fact, most churches I&rsquo;ve been to would love to have energy and growth. Are these valid reasons for being a part of any church, not just Portland? I&rsquo;ll concede that these are desirable traits in any church, but I do not believe that any of these are valid for placing membership in a church. These things make the gospel attractive and naturally inviting, but these are not reasons. I can go to other places to find these things. Had I been alive at the time, I could&rsquo;ve gone to Woodstock. Stated in terms of churches, though, I can find all these things in the Toronto Blessing, the Latter-Day Saints, Saddleback, the UBF and various other churches.</p> <p>I went looking around to other places for reasons to join a church and I found a raft of possible answers including: accountability, fellowship, a place to use your gifts, and a place to share with like-minded believers. Again, there are other places for this: these are all reasons that the Marines give for enlisting. As far as churches go, then I can still be a part of LDS, Saddleback, the UBF, the Promise Keepers, etc.</p> <p>Let me take a step back to prevent a big assumption. Jesus said, &ldquo;Blessed are the pure of heart for they will see God.&rdquo; The pure in heart will see God in a variety of places. There is not just one place to find God, his people, or proper training in doctrine. My point is that any reason for going to church should be to point to faith in God and obedience to His word, not to some great feeling or modern sensibility.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-01-14-gnosceti/ Fri, 14 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2005-01-14-gnosceti/ <p><strong>The sons of knowledge</strong></p> <p>The Gnosceti are considered a myth by many intellectuals and orators in elite Hesberian circles.

I have found it true in my life and I hope it may help in yours:</p> <p>After summer, when the leaves fall and all prepares for a winter sleep, it is a natural time of reflection. The winter brings a time of rest - a time to pause and catch your breath. The springtime is a new birth and allows you to start fresh. It is a time of new ideas and planting. The summer is the time for harvest, a chance to reap the benefits of the work of spring. With the summer harvest taken in full, the Autumn allows for reflection, as previously stated.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-22-hope-shell-game/ Wed, 22 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-22-hope-shell-game/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-22-the-real-reason-for-no-changes-by-barry-mahfood/ Wed, 22 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-22-the-real-reason-for-no-changes-by-barry-mahfood/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-21-hesberian-city-markers/ Tue, 21 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-21-hesberian-city-markers/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-21-the-peanut-gallery/ Tue, 21 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-21-the-peanut-gallery/ <p>Recently, I went off on the ICC Discussion Forum (no link provided) on a thread about reformed ICC churches. In case you don&rsquo;t know, I&rsquo;m very proud of my church and how far we&rsquo;ve come and how bright the future appears. We&rsquo;re not better than anyone and we certainly haven&rsquo;t arrived - it&rsquo;s just that I feel safe going to church and have no problems inviting my friends and family to it. I thought I&rsquo;d never feel that way again.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-15-been-a-few-days/ Wed, 15 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-15-been-a-few-days/ <p>But I&rsquo;m still around. There&rsquo;s been some furious attempt to finalize the Study Series only to discover that now may not be the right time for it.</p> <p>I may still publish it, but there&rsquo;s little reason to now. I never thought that I&rsquo;d be ahead of the curve on letting go of some things in the past. Oh well.</p> <p>In the meantime, I hope to do more with my fantasy world and on a class about the Synoptic Gospels this winter.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-08-a-study-series/ Wed, 08 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-08-a-study-series/ <p>Those that are a part of the ICC subculture know what the phrase &lsquo;study series&rsquo; means. I use the term because it has some meaning, but I hope to discuss it in neutral terms. In other words, I hope to discuss its utility, purpose, and necessity. It seems particularly useful now because so many people want it. Its purpose seems self-evident, it is designed to equip the Christians to help someone else become a Christian. Its necessity is debatable. Maybe a new series is a stepping stone to a hope of a mature Christian confident and competent to use the Scriptures without the fear of teaching a &lsquo;different&rsquo; gospel from other Christians.</p> <p>In any case, a draft proposal to my church&rsquo;s governing board will be presented tomorrow night. As such, it will be on my blog tomorrow sometime during the day. It may change, but the outline so far is this:</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-06-its-not-a-scar-its-a-story-ii/ Mon, 06 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-12-06-its-not-a-scar-its-a-story-ii/ <p>I&rsquo;ve been around men telling their &lsquo;war stories&rsquo; a few times. The older I get, the more I tend to join in on these stories.

This one seems to be the most popular among the humans living in midcontinent, even in areas where there are no magics. When nonhuman species study humans in an academic approach, this is the story considered to be foundational in understanding the human way of thinking. This is likely because of the great Hesberian Empire that controlled most of the known continents before the discovery of the first magic. Traces of the Hesberian Empire are seen in most human lands through the existence of ancient temples dedicated to Luma, though few of these are in use.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-24-new-section-on-website/ Wed, 24 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-24-new-section-on-website/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-24-stop-the-madness/ Wed, 24 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-24-stop-the-madness/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-23-la-cosanostra-de-caff/ Tue, 23 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-23-la-cosanostra-de-caff/ <p>I pick on the women that run the communal coffee station near my office area. It seems that before my time, folks took advantage of the one or two people that actually paid for coffee and creamer, so a new system was instituted that works really well, even if the system feels like a protection racket.</p> <p>As an outsider, I definitely felt the pressure.</p> https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-22-reception-the-rest-of-the-weekend/ Mon, 22 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-22-reception-the-rest-of-the-weekend/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-22-sports-nation/ Mon, 22 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-22-sports-nation/ https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-19-40-theses/ Fri, 19 Nov 2004 00:00:00 +0000 https://pinakidion.org/posts/2004-11-19-40-theses/ <p>Three years ago there was a Unity meeting in Los Angelos to discuss the future of &ldquo;our churches&rdquo;. It&rsquo;s hard to believe that it was three years ago - it seems like an eternity of time and space from that day to this.</p> <p>Recently, I reread Henry&rsquo;s letter and thought about our Post-HKL-Renaissance(tm). Have we really come so far? Have we changed at all? Henry himself is no longer part of the ICC (if my information is correct), but still visits them from time to time. He even has speaking engagements in various places. The question I have is have we missed our best chance to change?</p> <p>Henry mentioned four fundamental issues in the ICC and then enumerated 40 specific areas of concern.</p>
