Ask Me Anything! (Well… almost)

Yeah yeah, it’s not your regularly scheduled dose of Emeth’s Home Brewed Esoteric Lexicology, but it’s close. I get a lot of questions while I’m dancing through the cyber-sphere. I don’t always get the time to answer them all. Often as not I refer people to my blog and say I’ll get a post up [...]

Christ in Pain

When the chips are down. When the rubber meets the road. When all hell breaks loose, literally. When “things don’t quite turn out.” When your life is wrecked, devastated, turned upside down. When your heart is torn into shreds and fed to the dogs. When the worst thing you could imagine… happens. How is God [...]

Eccentricity, Mathematics, and Peculiar People

I am eccentric. Quite so. In fact, almost invariably so. And I quite like it. Now, when most people notice my eccentricity (and they do), they generally comment on how weird it is, and then make some comment about fitting in or having to still be able to communicate with people or something along those [...]

Is chivalry slavery?

This time we’re going to do something a tad bit different, although I’ve done it once before I think on this blog. Instead of me posting a long article on something, I want to get your ideas on a difficult topic. I’ll be in the comments (am I ever not?) talking with you all, but I [...]

Eleven tips to stop your handshake miscommunications

I shake hands. I am a handshaker. It’s my favorite element of a greeting, and it’s a key element of how I communicate who I am and the nature of my relationship with someone to them. That’s right, shaking hands is a form of communication. It’s an integral part of body language. And it falls [...]

* Bounce Bounce Bounce *

Okay, so that title was a bit misleading. This is a deep post. Very deep. * nod nod * Well maybe not that deep. But it was life-changing for me, and I wanted to share it with you. See, I am a collector. I don’t collect Hotwheels or stamps though, I collect principles. Life principles [...]

A New Kind of Modesty

I walked down the high street of Cork, my head down, my ears dulled, and my heart aching. The atmosphere of the world washed over me like a warm wind laced with acid. I felt miserable. Every view my eyes beheld had an immodest diva as the centerpiece, framed by sensual suggestions. My stomach churned. [...]

Rebellion and You

Image via Wikipedia What is rebellion? First, why do we care? That question is easily dealt with: 1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king. Proverbs 17:11 An [...]

I Am In Love!

I like to put riddles in my statuses, and yesterday was no exception. I posted a short, 42 character message to twitter, buzz, and facebook, and sparked an explosion of responses like none other. The status was this: “I have a girlfriend; I am in love; she is perfect.” Some who knew me very well [...]

How Immature of You!

Welcome to my second guest post! This one is done by one of my other closest friends on the internet, a man of many names. I know him best as Neil of Erk, because that is what I first met him as (on Holy Worlds). He is also known as Jordan Wright, and as the [...]
