It's not a permanent settlement as I'm soon to be moving out of the location I'm currently at, but after years of being housebound as a caretaker, it's really thrilling to be able to interact with "Real Life" as an MMO again rather than as a single-player game.

Now available from the "8-Bit Summer" tab in the e-shop for 4.99. Not sure if this is a limited promotion or not (still a fairly new user and figuring things out), but it seemed worthwhile to pass along.

This story from Elmer Bendiner's The Fall of Fortresses reminded me of Moses' question to the Lord of what is he supposed to be able to do with what he's got to work with and the Lord's response of "Well what do you have in your hand?" (Exodus chapters 3-4) "Our B-17 (the Tondelayo) was...

Sacramento's Comic, Toy & Anime Show (with lots of gaming stuff, too) Sunday June 3, 2012, 10am to 5pm http://www.sac-con.com/ I'll be there, so if anyone else is going too, maybe we can do lunch. :)

John 11:43-44 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. In addition to being a...

Substitute Death and Hell in for the lion and the bear and any other issue of opposition that may come up for the part of Goliath and you have man's part in the Easter story -- that our end is to simply believe in what the Lord Himself has done and will do regardless of other people's opinions...

Today I put my full confidence in the Lord -- ALL of it -- with no backup plan. Not presumptuously as in expecting Him to do something in particular for me in return, but to do the right thing even if I get nothing out of it or it costs me. He says in Matthew 6 we can't serve multiple masters...

Last month I lost my main source of employment when the business I was working with closed down. I don't particularly like losing my job, especially one I enjoyed as much as I did this last one, but I've been living on faith long enough that I wasn't really worried about it as I'm pretty used to...

Luke 9:51-56 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because...

Job 6:6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? Maybe Job was meaning some kind of profound spiritual statement with this, but usually when I read it, for some reason it comes across to me like in the middle of all this really terrible stuff going on, he's taking the opportunity...

1 Chronicles 12:1-22 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself in hiding because of Saul, and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out...

I have been reading "Grace Happens: Stories of Everyday Encounters with Grace" by Bob Libby, and came across the following quote within it which I thought was so encouraging and applicable to Christian life that it should be shared: "As we pass from experience to some experiment, from a tried...

James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Not just the bad people, but all people have to be aware of this danger. But what I most want to draw attention to here is the phrase, "when he is drawn away." You don't get drawn away by being tempted...

Ephesian 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. A lot of times when we read this verse we focus on the armor part, but this time I want to focus on the phrase "having done all" instead. "Having...

Exodus 18:18-23 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward...

Sorry for my long absence. I have been having to spend a lot of time and hard work refortifying some areas of life that have been seeing heavy battle lately. Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his...

1 Samuel 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. It’s not your own strength that matters, but the Lord’s.

Exodus 3:16-17 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: And I have said, I will bring you up out...

Job 2:11-13 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. And...

Ezekiel 34:8-16 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Therefore, O ye...
