“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Poasting is going to be light to non-existent (which is to say, only slightly less frequent than my usual barely-phoning-it-in level of output) over the next two weeks or so. My family is in town, and I have been very happily spending the last couple of days in their...
Despite – or perhaps because of – the fact that it was a short week, it has been an extremely busy one, for reasons that rather defy explanation. My last project wrapped up a few days ago, so by rights, things should have calmed down, but they have not. I...
After the Easter long weekend, Monday drops on us like a dog parking its breakfast on the lawn of our heads. Of course, if you happen to live in PommieBastardLande, where Easter Monday is a holiday – or if you work in the equity markets in the FUSA – then...
24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed...
Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) – Birmingham. And that picture is a summation of everything that is wrong...
Pondering through the Scriptures this morning, I was much struck by the passages in all four canonical Gospels concerning Judas Iscariot, the one who ultimately betrayed Jesus. The grand sweep of the greatest story ever told contains many rich details, and it is...
So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between...
Mondays are horrible enough to begin with, until you realise this is the week when you have to file your tax returns (if you live in the FUSA). And that means you have to scramble to justify your existence to the bloody IRS – an organisation evidently designed...
I am rather too exhausted after a long week to write anything particularly deep or meaningful, but I think we probably all feel that way after watching the inexplicably weird tariff wars this week. What started out as a good, if over-hyped, idea, has turned into a...
I am not a big hockey fan, simply because I do not watch sports, in general, unless it involves two men standing in a ring or octagon, beating the snot out of each other. However, given our Canuckistani friends like to say that hockey is basically MMA on ice –...
