Glass Doesn’t Flow?

Wow, I just unlearned something, glass actually doesn’t flow. See Does Glass Flow?, from the Corning Museum of Glass. Also, the Wikipedia discusses this at The Physics of Glass. 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

Walking Across Europe for CHARGE

Ruan and Tina de Flamingh are walking 8000km with their dog Akela across mainland Europe from the northernmost tip of Norway to the southernmost tip of Greece. The driving force behind this expedition is the awareness of the often occuring but little known disability called CHARGE syndrome. As they walk into Helsinki after 1700km on foot, Ruan explains what it is all about … 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

Re: Should We Miss Our Church Graveyards?

Michael Clark — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:11:35 +0000

Russell D. Moore asks Should We Miss Our Church Graveyards? I find the thought of being laid to rest on a church property a bit comforting. That seems “nicer” (more personal) than in some humongous cemetery, mixing with people I don’t know. I’d like to spend forever with people I’ve spent most Sundays with. 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

Bombing, Abortion, & Down Syndrome

People are nuts. Both situations in this story are sad. Bombing, Abortion, & Down Syndrome. Do to others as you would have them do to you. – Luke 6:31 (NIV) 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

Unclutter Your Life

Michael Clark — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 12:11:53 +0000

For a few months now, I’ve been reading the Unclutterer blog. Unclutterer is the blog about getting and staying organized. 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

I am using one of the unclutterer’s hints: doing it in small steps: After yesterday’s laundry (socks, underwear and t-shirts) was done, after sorting and folding, but before actually putting them away I opened each drawer and looked through the clothing that hadn’t been worn since the last washing. I tossed a huge pile of holy socks, ancient underwear, and torn shirts. I also found two broken belts (but I might fix them some day – yeah right, sure I will).

Last week while waiting for the oven to heat up, I tackled the kitchen junk drawer instead of sitting in front of the tube. I wish I had taken a before and after picture, I will on the next junk drawer. I found nearly 100 twisties from bread, 2 complete sets of measuring cups (we now have 4!), pencils and pens, half-burned birthday candles, expired coupons, etc…. You know, junk. I tossed a ton of stuff, moved other things to the place they belong, and now that drawer is 75% empty, it only has kitchen cooking stuff in it.

We are moving slowly and surely towards getting rid of a lot of junk in our home.
