Basement Reorganized

The New Office

We switched the rooms around in the basement. We put my office back in the southwest corner, and moved the PC/Playstation stuff to the southeast corner. Now my office is about half the size it used to be, but the PC/Playstation area is nice and big (about 18' x 12'). I'll see if I can dig up some comparison photos. In the meantime, here's what my office looks like:

Past, Stab, etc.

We cleaned out and reorganized the basement over the weekend. A lot of ugly stuff turned up, including this ID card from when I was a junior in high school in California. I like how it says it's not a student body card.

I must not have met the requirements for one of those.

Religious Radio Message

A person must live "an uncompromising life" to be a "person of character" or a "person of integrity" -- as God intended.

That was today's message on Grace To You, a radio show I sometimes listen to on 93.9 FM (KPDQ). They told about Daniel in the lion's den, and how important it is to do "whatever it takes" for the God you believe in. That's what makes a godly person, they said.

(Ironic that a program with the word "grace" in the title would emphasize good works as a way to get to god, but that's theology, that troublesome interloper with whom sermonizing holds no truck.)

Like so many of those shows on KPDQ, Grace To You makes me wonder if they ever listen to themselves. They condemn people of other faiths for doing weird things in the name of that god, then turn right around and preach about an "uncompromising" life to please this god.

I know, I know, they'd say "it's different... we mean the one true God and they mean that fakey god."
