National Geographic’s International Photography Contest 2009
A few pictures that caught my attention:
On the final leg of a six-week United States of America road trip, I was driving east across Interstate 40 when a spot storm with golf ball-sized hail struck. A sign near Groom, Texas, announcing the “largest cross in the western hemisphere” explained the large crucifix I’d been wondering about for miles on the highway; it seemed like an OK place to wait out the storm. On my way to getting stuck in the mud and a giant double rainbow, I saw this silhouetted view of the cross, splitting the sunny sky from the stormy plains. (Photo and caption by Brad Maule)

Bag of Randomness
- Hey, whatdoyouknow, it’s December.
- It’s also sonogram day for WifeGeeding. To say she is excited is an understatement.
- For the longest time when it came to my faith, I felt that I always had to have an answer, not necessarily a yes or a no, but some sort of firm answer. Now, I’m OK with not knowing and enjoy the journey of research, discovery, and appreciating several different points of view, even if I disagree with them. But I have a feeling several people in my past would be disappointed in me. With that said, I really appreciate those of you that took the time to answer my Paul question yesterday.
- If you read the comments on that Paul post yesterday, you’ll understand why I call George, BibleScholarGeorge. I’m lucky to have him in my life. The same goes with Brent, whose insight I always find valuable, I just need to think of a nickname for him.
- Sometimes when I throw out a faith or theological question, I really ponder what some of my friends/readers think, but most of the time they just hold back.
- I use to fear what people would think of me when I throw out a faith or theological question or observation.
- Much like everyone else, I think Tiger and his wife got in a fight. She freaked out, Tiger tried to drive away, and as he drove out, his wife in a fit of rage smashed a window in his SUV which distracted him, which caused him to crash his vehicle at a low rate of speed. Those facial lacerations could be him hitting the steering wheel or a plate flying at him.
- Speaking of Tiger’s wife, is it just me, or does she have very large hands?
- The Secret Service and the White House Social Secretary both deserve equal blame for letting that fame seeking couple in the State Dinner. With that said, that Social Secretary seems like she’s not really taking her job very seriously, as if she was more focused on the glitz and glamor of event rather than doing her job.
- I’m not sure how I feel about President Obama sending more troops to Afghanistan, I guess I’ll have a better understanding once he addresses the nation. However, I do like he wasn’t rushed to a decision no matter how pressured he was to do so. Those decisions aren’t easy. Heck, I work in project management and it’s amazing how much planning and resources goes into a three month project, I can only imagine what it’s like to send an additional 35,000 more troops.
- The Bush administration was labeled stubborn for not changing course or being influenced by public opinion. I think the same can be said for the Obama administration in a lot of ways, such as the time it took Obama to make this decision. That decision is going to shake up his base of supporters, but I wonder what his critics think.
- It seems weird that Bobby Bowden doesn’t get a “final season,” but college football is a bid’ness.
- It’s funny how some people just end up on the right team. Pierre Thomas – that name just fits a player in New Orleans.
- In my lifetime I bet I will see the elimination of chains and field measurements in the NFL. Eventually a laser grid will cover the field and they will be able to detect the position of the ball, which won’t have a chip, but have some kind of special coating.
- It’s interesting to watch old highlights of the NFL and not seed graphics on the field such as the yellow first down marker or down or distance.
- I have a lack of faith in my Cowboys, but it sure is fun to watch the Vikings and Saints play. And it’s always fun to see New England lose.
- The more Bill Belichick goes for it on fourth down and doesn’t convert, the more he will lose the confidence in his team.
- My favorite coach as of late is Sean Payton.
- I love being an adult so much more than a teen.
- Whoever wrote the Budweiser Christmas music that has been playing for as long as I can remember sure did a good job.
- I use to force myself not to like or laugh at beer commercials because I viewed that industry as nothing more than sin.
- I actually like these video game paintings.
- Cost of 12 Days of Christmas up 1.8%
- I’m starting to have more fun with Twitter.
- Who would have thought at this time in the NFL season the Cowboys (8-3) would have a better record than the Patriots (7-4).
- The Cowboys will lose to the Giants mainly because the Giants don’t fear the Cowboys.
- I hope you like this new theme, I think I’m going to stick with it for a while, changing the header image of course.

Random Theological Question
At least I think it’s a theological question.
A lot of books in the Bible are letters written by Paul.
Do you think Paul knew as he was writing these letters that they would later become scripture?
I’m quite interested to see what kind of responses I get.
