While preparing for our VBS, a new concept in the creation story stood out to me: God infused His personality into His creation as he built our world. I think we should do the same.
If I were to teach a Bible lesson on July 4th, I think it would have to start with this verse: John 8:33-36 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered Read more…
I ran across this article yesterday on Engadget, and it made me think about all of the changes this year, this season: Engadget: NASA to study hurricanes with unmanned Global Hawk aircraft starting this year Robots Studying the Skies The first change is that NOAA is planning to use these Northrop Grumman Read more…
A friend sent this link to me today. The boy is an inspiration to not let your obstacles get you down. The dad is an inspiration to all dads. What amazing support for his son! To be honest, I don’t know if I could do that. If I could give Read more…
Since the end of school, I’ve been thinking of this verse, and I thought kids could use some encouragement to finish the race strong. When you come near the finish line, a good runner will push his body harder rather than ease up and coast across the line. The same should be true in life including nearing the end of a school year.
So, I think studying races and sports analogies in the Bible was very fitting and encouraging. A great place to start is Hebrews 12:1-2:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
These are some of the thoughts I had on this verse:
I came across this article about Google working on a self-driving car. Engadget: Google asks car makers ‘Ullo John, wanna self-driving motor?’ If you really sit down and think about what a driver-less car entails, you’ll realize that this is a huge project! The car has to do everything from determine Read more…
This probably caught my eye mostly because I just filled up my truck. Gas prices are climbing higher and higher, and any hope of relief looks good. This article describes a project that might help. Erik Koepf is designing a process that does not require fossil fuels to create the Read more…
I just ran across these two different articles from Engadget, and it struck me funny. First, you can play a more realistic Frogger using technology that can bring the real traffic into the game. “Real Cars. Real Time. Fake Frog.” Check it out: Engadget: Fifth Avenue Frogger brings everyone’s favorite roadkill Read more…
We’re getting closer to the Jetsons every day! Flying cars are something I only thought of as science fiction, but it looks like Terrafugia might be working toward making them a reality. I saw this article with some nice pictures of the Terrafugia Transition. They do a good job of Read more…
I ran across this new game online. Apparently, Mozilla is showing off new HTML5 technology, but it is still kind of fun to play. You can read about it here: Engadget: Mozilla releases BrowserQuest for HTML5 gamers and warriors (video) Or better yet, play it here: Browser Quest — Play Read more…
