Quilly is at her computer, completing the recap of her last twelve months as Quilldancer.com. There is little point to our trying to hold a conversation, for all around us, the barrage of heavy ordnance continues, [...]

Dear Friends,

… started at 11:00 a.m. I keep thinking the holiday is the 4th of July. That’s totally understandable given the smoke and sulfur hanging over the valley.
The other night one of Amoeba’s colleagues hosted a farewell party for us. At the party the talk turned to New Years Eve fireworks. [...]

I had a couple of hours to kill the other day and went to one of our many beach parks to hang out, take some photographs and enjoy the sunshine. While I was there I met someone tall, dark and handsome and spent quite a bit of time in his company.
He was very cooperative [...]

The world specializes in separation and losses. How comforting it is to know that nothing can separate us from Jesus’ love. Jesus Lives is Sarah Young’s follow up book to Jesus Calling. It is a devotional guide unlike most others.

Ever since I got my Ph.D., nigh onto 30 years ago, I have been engaged in what’s known as “public good” science. Research and education funded by taxpayers, the results of which were freely available to taxpayers. Work that has provided the essential foundation for most of the “miracles” of the modern era, [...]

They were at church. He was practicing with the praise band. His position in the praise band is very eclectic. He sings some, he plays a rhythm drum, occasionally blows on a trumpet, and has even been known to shake his hinny tambourine. Last night was no different.
