This is a Case stationary engine that we've been working on over the winter. It needed to be rebuilt becuase we spun the #2 main bearing years ago running our sawmill. So with some engine work, minor carb tune-up and new paint, it's a nice reward to hear it run.

Good-bye OPEC!! 

Hello MPGs! 

*&#@$ (why even bother)

Put bluntly, a Christian worldview is not an excuse for compromised sinning. A Christian worldview is not an all-purpose disinfectant.

My babbling frustrates even me, so I enlist someone who writes better than myself. Like most people who haven't been trained in the art of writing, there exist a great gulf fixed between the brain and the right write hand. Any of you who get the Veritas Press magazine, read the article on page 50 to understand my position (the article is called 'A shield and a sword' by D.Wilson). Notice the word 'limit'. I'd post that here too, but I can't find where it lives in cyberspace.
I've probably put way too much thought into this whole discussion, a common side-effect when talking to pot-stirring Buffalonians, but I offer an anology. Words are like tools in the garden of life (deep, I know). Most people use rakes, hoes, and shovels. Some uppercrust affluent individuals use rottotillers, tractors, and other people's sweat. Others use only sharp steely knives, which are unfit for gardening, that glissen in the sunlight anoying all onlookers. I suppose everbody uses knives from 'temp de temp'. It reminds us of where and what we don't want to be.

I've got to hand it to Mr. Pedlar, he got me laughing good. I'm a little despacio from time to time, but this is worth the investigation. When you figure it out, let me know. Visit his website and the rest is up to you.

Ah, simple pleasures.

Have you ever had a discussion with someone and used term 'illogical'? Or heard a biased speech and summed it up as horse manure? Well, I have. Until recently, though I've been weaponless.

This was all spurred by the book The Well Trained Mind. I was reviewing some stuff to get ready for our wee-one. Long story short, I got distracted. Sure enough I was in the Logic section. While learning scads of info and some cool latin terms, I also will never read Snow White the same way (read: cute story).

I'm also one chapter short of being done with Tearing Down Strongholds by R.C. Jr. This book is a good primer on apologetics and logic too. To those of you who equate Logic with God, it's a must read. I'm pretty devoid of any logical (as in subject) training. So when R.C. said logic was amoral and void of content, I was picking up stones. Little did I know, little did I know.

So the only thing I have to offer is links. One to Canon Press and the other to Logical Fallacies. After reading and studying just a little bit, I offer my magnus opus:

People today are illogical
Today I'm a person
Today is illogical.
