Here are some recent photos of Jezzy, our Yorkie, who is now sporting a new summer haircut. The first photo (the best of the lot) was taken by Emmy. (This is also a nice tutorial on camera angles; the first shot is best because Emmy got down on the ground to take the shot from Jezzy's eye level.)
Will trade email for phone
Recently we needed a couple new Gmail accounts. So we went to Google to create them, and that's when we discovered something interesting: Google won't give you an email account until you give them a phone number. Don't believe me? Take a look at this screen capture, a part of the account activation process that I could not get around:
Why computers shouldn't talk to themselves
At Cornell, they connected a couple of chat bots together and let them talk to each other. It's...disconcerting.

New iMac Ordered
I ordered a new iMac earlier today. Since the kids each need a computer for school, we needed another computer for Ann and I to use. We got the 27" iMac with the standard keyboard and magic trackpad. Can't wait!

Donkey
When we went to Ray Farms (near Bunn NC) we found a couple donkeys. They were curious and friendly and wanted to be petted.

Hobbs on Sovereignty and Free Will
"The Bible does not try to harmonize God's sovereignty and man's free will with respect to his foreknowledge. It assumes them both to be true. This is a mystery to our finite minds but not to the infinite mind of an omniscient God."

Baptist Faith and Message Resources
I'm planning to teach parts of the BFM 2000 at my church, so I thought I'd share some of the resources that I've found:
* Articles from some profs at Southern
* Some sermons from the Baptist College of Florida
* Some manuscripts from Dr. Akin
In addition, there's a book by Charles Kelley, Richard Land, and Al Mohler entitled The Baptist Faith and Message. Talk about some heavy hitters! I bought a copy at my local Lifeway for $8.

Biblical Inerrancy
I still affirm the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. What a great document this is!
Genesis 4
I finished my study of the first section (toledoth) in the book of Genesis, which is the basis of the expositional storytelling that I am doing at our church. This morning I posted my notes from Genesis 4.
BFM - 1963 vs 2000
Ever wonder what the differences are between the 1963 and 2000 versions of the Baptist Faith and Message? While preparing to teach on the BFM 2000, I found this wonderful comparison.

Strange Finds
The last of the Farmer's Market photos: Here are two strange items we found. The first is a canary melon, which kinda tasted like a cross between a honeydew melon and lychee:
The second is an easter egg plant, which looks like a joke, but isn't.
