“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Irrational and Angry Atheists

As I indicated in my very first post, I used to be an atheist. While I do not subscribe to any religion in particular per se, I have over the last several years come to accept Christianity’s approach to the Word of God to be by far the best approach there is out...

Be a Man: Learn to Cook

Good Lord, what an insane week it’s been. I’m glad it’s over, yet my work still is not done. Regardless, I still had a little time to do some thinking about certain topics that are near and dear to me. One of them is, of course, food. Like most...
