    Easter Weekend In Brief

    Saturday was an unseasonably warm day, with the highs reaching into the 80’s. There was nary a cloud in the sky for most of the day and a light, pleasant breeze served to keep things from getting too stifling. All in all, it was the kind of a day that one relishes spending out-of-doors, occupying…

    Happy Easter

    Up from the grave He arose, With a mighty triumph o’er His foes, He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever, with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

    Excellent news. Aron and Heather welcomed “Spud” into the world today at around 12:30PM EST. He weighed 9 lbs. 2 oz. and measured a hale 22″ long. Name withheld due to Double Secret Probation – I’d imagine Aron will post it to his blog when the time is right. Keep on the lookout for pictures…

My wife, son and I arose relatively early on Saturday morning, assembled ourselves and headed over to Aron and Heather’s house.

    Snakes, Stones And The Efficacy Of Paedobaptism

    Brad recently pointed out a post on Skippy’s Stack discussing paedobaptism (the baptism of children) which spawned a few comments from Skippy’s readers. Much was said about personal preference and opinion, but there was little Scriptural reference employed in order to back those preferences up. I thought it might be worth delving a bit into…

    Tag, I’m It

    Zoinks, I’ve been tagged by Ryan, my Philly-area compatriot (sorry I haven’t been to a Meetup recently. Next one, I promise…). Yeah, I know it’s the blogging equivalent of a non-anonymous chain letter, but hey, it’s fun. As such, my Fours follow: Four jobs I’ve had UNIX Systems administrator Java/C coder Sporting goods megastore employee…
