The Big Bang
Posted by: Kathy on: March 31, 2008
Previously, I mentioned Fred Heeren’s book Show Me God, in which he discusses the Big Bang Theory of the beginning of the universe. The good side of the book demonstrates that the world’s top scientists in their fields have no explanation for the origin of the universe other than a creator of some sort — [...]
Oh, darn!

I just wrote about my new home-made laundry soap. Now there’s a problem. It’s just as cheap as I thought, and just as easy to make — all that is fine. The problem is that my younger son appears to be irritated by it! His back has little bumps all over it. You can’t see [...]
Food Budget — Update
Posted by: Kathy on: March 29, 2008
In a previous post, I wrote about our food budget, and working to spend less on food. I’ve since found the USDA food budgets for every month (not just for the year 2007), which will help keep track of changing prices.
This month, I’ve written down all of our food purchases, and I’m doing this more [...]

I’ve heard about home-made laundry detergent for a while, but it took me a long time to finally decide to do it. (Oh, and I know there’s a difference between soap and detergent, but don’t really feel like looking it up to figure out if what I’ve made is soap or detergent. If it’s really [...]
My sweet boys
Posted by: Kathy on: March 27, 2008
My two boys are 19 months apart in age. My older son (Keith) is nearly 3&1/2, and my younger son (Seth) will be two at the end of May. They have their share of squabbles. Several times a day I have had to “rescue” Seth from Keith, because Seth had the audacity to actually want [...]
This is amazing!

Story of a man pronounced brain-dead who recovered! Makes me wonder about the accuracy of these tests–how can they be sure of no recovery? Maybe they don’t know quite as much as they think they do.
I’m flabbergasted

I read a really great post on abortion today, but the first comment just totally flummoxed me. The woman said that she considers that abortion is a sign of the End Times, and to fight against abortion is to fight against the Rapture. Do WHAT?! Is this kind of unbiblical nonsense actually being preached in so-called [...]
Home Energy Usage
Posted by: Kathy on: March 24, 2008
On a frugal blog, I found a link to a government website where you could do a do-it-yourself energy audit on your house, to see what you can do to lower your usage of electricity, gas, etc. Sounds great, so I did it. I answered every question to the best of my ability, which took [...]
Does the Bible say I have to get married?
Posted by: Kathy on: March 23, 2008
(This post was inspired by a search term that someone used to find my blog.)
Answer: It depends. There were many individuals listed in the Bible who were not married, but most were. Paul apparently was not married, but Peter was. In the Old Testament as well as the New, it is crystal-clear that sexual relations [...]
This is pretty cool

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist (brain scientist), suffered a stroke and talks about what it was like to lose half of her brain function. While strokes are terrible things to happen, they do happen, and it’s a bit of a mystery to people like me what happens when a person has a stroke, so [...]
