Notice anything different about BON? I changed the font to Verdana from Ariel and increased the size from 75% to 77% for the text that is inside a post. I think it makes things a bit easier to read, especially when I italicize something. Thoughts, suggestions on other fonts or if you like the change?

I’m starting to use Firefox as my browser more and more, and I found out they have these things called Add-ons. Yeah, I know, I’m behind the times. The one I love the most thus far is the one from Answers. Basically, if you don’t know a word or a subject, just hold down your Alt key and click the word and a small pop-up window appears and gives you a definition and links to resources. You can download it here.
The day before Halloween my wife was helping me dye my hair when the doorbell rang. It was a father who was on an evening stroll with is wife and daughters. He told WifeGeeding that his little girl ran up to our house and thinking the clay pottery jack-o-lantern we had outside our door was real picked it up and dropped it. The father express his sympathy and offered to buy us a new one, but WifeGeeding declined since the value was less then $5, if even that. A few days later to our surprise three small but cooler looking and better quality fake jack-o-lanterns appeared on our doorstep.
It gets one my nerves when I hear technically savy people confuse screensaver and wallpaper.
I feel like over the past month God has been teaching me tolerance, but in the last few days I feel like he’s teaching me acceptance.
I just naturally sad and think I’m the most depressed person I know. I may have mentioned this before, but I can be at the happiest place on Earth and just can’t stop thinking about stuff that saddens me. Don’t go freaking out on my or anything, but I don’t think I’ve gone a day since elementary school that I haven’t thought about the concept and ramifications of suicide.
A grad student at Baylor blogs about the election night incident, racism on college campuses, and his thoughts on the school’s leadership regarding this matter. You can read his thoughts here. It seems that story is picking up steam in our local news, it’s been one of the lead stories for two days in a row. College students will be college students, and every college has very immature students, but when stuff like this happens on a Christian campus, particularly the largest Baptist university in the world, it gets in the headlines.
That Baylor grad student also has a pre-election post about what SBC pastors had to say about voting for Obama. As you can guess, what those pastors blogged about wasn’t favorable, and I find the divisiveness in their tone very saddening. Baptist folk are great people at the core and mean well, but it’s the divisiveness that stems from their leadership that breaks my heart. With that said, I’m thankful I’m a recovering Baptist.
My faith isn’t in the Democratic party, but in Christ. In case you were wondering.
I often hear of people from out of town rent a car and complain about the tolls, that because they are in a rental they have to avoid them. Some of the tolls here in North Texas don’t have booths, you have to have an electronic Toll Tag, if not, then a bill is mailed to the ownerr of the registered vehicle. I wonder why the car rental folks don’t simply make a Toll Tag an option when renting a car and bill any tolls taken to the renters credit card.
I have never willingly read a fiction book. All books of fiction that I have read were assigned to me in school. I guess this is because I was once told that instead of reading fiction I should be reading something to enrich my mind. So to avoid the guilt trip, it’s been non-fiction ever since. I also feel guilty when I’m reading something other than the Bible at times.
I wonder if I’ll ever see a black pope in my lifetime.
The New York Post actually has a story on Obama’s mole near his nose. Link
The Italian Prime Minister calls Obama young, handsome and tanned. Link
Joe the Plumber’s lifespan can’t last too long. He will forever live in the same thoughts as the parachute guy at the boxing match years ago. Famous, and a part of pop culture, but not exactly for the right reasons. I wonder how many plumbers saw a boost in business if their name was Joe though?
As for Firefox, I loved it, but now I use Flock, which is great for my social media interaction and blogging purposes!
I love 30 Rock, but How I Met Your Mother would be the other best comedy on TV.
I am a Christian and a Democrat. Sadly, I have heard other Christians say the same thing as 3:57 comment. Correction: the Democratic party does NOT endorse abortion. Anyone who says this is greatly misinformed.
Conservative Christians have been vocal about abortion & gays while supporting a government who has recklessly taken us into a war where many lives have been lost and where human torture was supported. They have denied environmental concerns and ignored social injustice, poverty and the suffering of many all in the name of greed.
Many would-be Christians find these views hypocritical and turn away from God and the church.
Someone once said mixing politics and religion is like mixing ice cream and manure. It doesn't hurt the manure, but it sure messes up the ice cream.
We should strive to keep politics out of our religion.
if you voted for obama (aka democratic) then you checked your faith at the curtain… there’s no other way a Christian can rationalize voting for a party that endorses gay marriage and abortion among others…
I am totally on board with freaking out about backgrounds and screensavers. How hard is it???
Like Kevin, I switched to Flock because I keep up with Facebook and Twitter regularly. It also checks my Yahoo and Gmail accounts and notifies me on new email. Flock.com
I’m a Republican Christian and I’ve noticed that the Democratic Christians that lurk around this website are usually very very gracious to people who post opinions that differ from their own. Thanks!
