Amish Country



My dad took this picture. If you look closely you can see the web URL and phone number on the sign.


The equation cracked me up the most.

Interesting Bible Study Topics

This is a list of Bible Study topics I'd like to learn and possibly teach. This is going to be a blog entry I continually update.
  1. How to Study the Bible - I think there is a need for Christians to know how to use the Bible as a resource to solving many of their day to day problems. How to find what they are looking for, how to accurately research a topic, and how not to take verses of of context. A bible study like this would be very useful if it had homework, where each participant chose a topic and came back to lead it. If they felt unconfortable or where new Christians they could work with a more more mature christian to look over their homework before presenting it to the group.
  2. Christian Love and Christian responses
  3. Self Esteem vs Christian Self Worth

Eat whale and save the planet

Funny article.

OSLO (Reuters) - Eat a whale and save the planet, a Norwegian pro-whaling lobby said on Monday of a study showing that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the climate than farming livestock.

"Basically it turns out that the best thing you can do for the planet is to eat whale meat compared to other types of meat," said Rune Froevik of the High North Alliance, which represents the interests of coastal communities in the Arctic.

"Greenhouse gas emissions caused by one meal of beef are the equivalent of eight meals of whale meat," the study said.

Sci-fi fan site

Ever wanted to compare the size of the star ship enterprise (NCC 1071-D) to the size of the Death Star from Star wars? Me neither. But just in case this site has the dimensions for a huge number of sci-fi ships.
