In a podcast interview, a professor about my age referred to himself as a “digital immigrant.” You may have run across this hierarchy before: digital natives being those my bonus sons’ ages or younger, digital immigrants those who learned their tech in adulthood. Digital immigrants seem to see themselves as those who can manage mostly […]
My friend J has two new puppies. She found them through a dachshund rescue group; I think she’s worked with them for her previous two as well. (One of whom recently died of very old age… sad, even if not unexpected.) It occurred to me that the four most recent computers installed chez Soques are […]
I thought I would go out tonight, but I thought wrong… instead of being this close to finishing my move to my NEW PC!!! I am instead scrubbing out this: Sigh.
On Sunday, my small group talked through 1 John, chapters 4 & 5. We particularly spent time poking at The Elder’s instructions on prayer: I write these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son so that you can know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence that we have […]
Arthur Clarke’s Three Laws of Technology When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right.

Three different blog-post ideas bubbled up as I drove to and from a movie this afternoon. Clearly, the stifling effect of wrassling with seven authors’ essays mapped into two papers has passed. (They were due Friday at 4pm.) As I’m driving and mulling this sentence, I think: it’s like facilitating Girl Scout Brownie meeting. All […]
And one paper to go!
You know I struggle when I try to discern what’s regeneration time and what’s straight-up procrastination. Each. Time. I had thought that, after thirty-some years of paying attention, I would be better at this discernment by now. At least so that I could rest in my resting-! Sigh. Two school-papers remain to be written. There […]
…with a side order of “the errand-runner” (not pictured) (Last week it was The Internet Researcher. I shift around.)
There’s a super-catchy tune on the Austin airwaves these days titled, “No Roots.” A line from the refrain keeps sticking in my ear, “I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground.” It’s the end of the term. I’m chugging a bunch of theologians and my brain leaks words like “eschaton” and […]
