You Might be a Baptist If ...
Another repost, but this time it's timely. David over at Jollyblogger has posted You
Might be a Presbyterian If ... and has challenged the rest of the blogosphere (or at least our part of it) to follow suit. I like his take on Baptists in that post (he used to be onw, after all), but a while back I added these:

I grew up baptist, and you def. hit the nail on the head. The one about not singing the third verse is so true.
Posted by: Rick Creech at June 09, 2005 06:40 PM (pPFAm)

Yeah, what's up with that? Why not sing the third verse?
I go to a Reformed Baptist congregation and we sing all the verses.

Odd thing is, the Southern Baptist church I go to now sings EVERY verse of EVERY song, no matter how long it is.

Wow!
I passed 10,000 hits the other day. Unfortunately, it was on my old blog.
Many of those hits are because of Google searches that turn up things in the archives. I'm going to change my title banner a little bit so that it lets people know that the page has moved here, so that should help.
A LOT of the traffic to the old blog is because people haven't changed their blogrolls. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change the link on your blogrolls, aggregators, whatever else I'm on, to http://pewview.mu.nu. That way, I'll actually get the traffic that you are so kindly sending my way. Thank you!!

Hey Mr. Kelly,
I good way of redirecting traffic is by using an URL redirect option in the template of your old blog. Check out this resource for doing so:
http://www.seocompany.ca/seo/url-redirect.html
Also, what you may want to do is contact the operators of the aggregators or blogrolls and let them know of the new blog address.
Take care!

There is a petition to ban the Internet.
Online.
Savor the irony of that for just a moment.

wow- that is crazy. Excersise some self control people. Almost anything can be used as a vehicle for good or for evil. It's about choice and accountability. Having the internet in your house isn't going to make you hooked on porn.

New Feature
Yes, I have succumbed. If you haven't noticed yet, there is a flickr box on the right sidebar. Right now, you can see pictures of my daughter's first dance recital, my daughter and me playing the guitar together, and my wife and daughter on the way to this year's prom (we chaperoned).
You won't see many shots of me, because I take most of the pictures. You WILL see lots of pictures of my daughter, because ... I take most of the pictures.
I'll add to it as I feel inclined.

Thank you thank you!
I take absolutely no credit for my daughter's good looks -- but all the credit in the world for her onery attitude!! She doesn't look like Daddy, but she has my personality.
Sometimes that might not be such a good thing ...

LOL! I think she looks a lot like you, actually.
Both Doc and I are ornery, so our boys never stood a chance! They also have the infamous "Miller Persistance", which isn't always a wonderful trait.

How then shall we Blog?
This is one of those posts that is hard to categorize, so I've dumped it into everything else. It's a little bit Intolerant Tolerance, but it's also a little bit Theology, but it doesn't really fit into those categories at all.
A bunch of us from Mind and Media have joined Blogcritics. Seems to be a perfect fit -- they review books, so do we. Match made in Heaven, right?

For what it's worth, Warren, I think you're taking the right approach. Obviously engaging in a flame-war is going to be a bad witness, and just leaving accomplishes nothing. Staying, and hopefully becoming a member of the community and allowing them to see other facets of your personality, looks like the best course of action, if you can develop a thick enough skin to take the insults that will surely still find you every so often.

I've heard that at least one person left because of the mistreatment -- and I don't want to knock that person's decision. It's a personal choice, and I'm sure they didn't do it lightly, or without a lot of thought. But whatever the reason for leaving, it gives "the other side" a victory, at least in theor perception.
In reading some of the reaction to some other folks' offerings at the site, I wonder if I would have stuck around if my post had been similarly attacked. At least most of my commentors were targeting specific issues, and not just insulting my intelligence (or lack thereof). Ad hominem is tough to combat, and I have seen a lot of that exhibited.
I'll probably post a review of Total Truth there when I finish it, just to irritate some people (lol). But I'll probably do some other reviews first.

Great, I can type ad hominem with no problem, but I mistype things like their (in my comment) and high (in the post).
Sad thing is, two years ago I taught keyboarding to junior high school kids. How's THAT for "those who can't do, teach?"

Total Truth!! Now that WILL be interesting! Love that book. Thanks for the experiential advice. I am new at this. Hopefully, God helps us to be gracious. You say yelling doesn't change minds but truthfully, I have never witnessed s changing of minds. I'd love to hear about a bending of the minds, rather than blending. Let us know if some lightbulbs go on, k?

I do think there are times to respond in kind. After all, there are two parts to the double proverb:
Answer not a fool according to his folly,
lest you be like him yourself.
Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own eyes.
(Proverbs 26:4-5, ESV)
Some people need to be put in their place, and only sarcasm or telling it like it is about downright awful reasoning will do it. Other people need to experience other kinds of responses. The trick is knowing when each is appropriate.

I agree, Jeremy. The problem is that I don't always know when each is appropriate. I tend to shy away from nailing people to the wall until it's the last resort -- which is probably not the best way to do things.

One Year Ago Today ...
I have no idea what to write today, other than to let you know that I've got
another review (actually
two) at Blogcritics. And the KJVO review has generated a little bit of discussion (more than most of my posts at my own blog -- hmmm). So go over there and read -- and respond!
The real reason for this post is to take a trip back in time. One year ago today, what was I writing about? I was trying to refute the whole "all evangelicals are Reconstructionists" insanity (and probably doing a bad job of it), and I was confounded by the insanity of Christian secessionists who wanted to spark secession by one or two states. I had made a minor change to the blog template (not many people noticed...). But I was also busy wishing Nick Queen a happy birthday. Hmmm. If that was a year ago today -- that means it's Nick's birthday again!!!
Head over to his blog and wish him a happy birthday. Tell him I sent you!

What's on YOUR Desk?
From
Rebecca Writes, via
Challies.com.
What books are on my desk? Well, my desk is almost too small for the computer I have on it, so I'm including what's stacked up next to it:
- The Historical Evidence for the Virgin Birth by Vincent Taylor
- Honor, Patronage, Kinship and Purity by David de Silva
(both now overdue from the library at Southern)
- At the Pure Fountain of Thy Word: Andrew Fuller as an Apologist edited by Michael A.G. Haykin
- The Holy Bible: New American Standard Version
- The Holy Bible: English Standard Version
- Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey
- God's Bestsellerby Bryan Moynahan
So what books are on YOUR desk?

My desk is too small for books, too, so I'll mention what's on the small bookcase next to my desk.
On the top shelf, I have a couple of expand-a-folders, my Bible, the phone book, a complete book of Robert Frost's works (he's my favorite poet), a Roget's thesaurus, a dictionary, and a French dictionary.
On the bottom shelf, I have a few Food and Family magazines by Kraft (some great stuff in there!), a selection of Shakespeare, a few works by Mark Twain, a couple of Jane Austen novels, my crocheting books, two books on parakeets and cockatiels, and one or two odd magazines--usually Ladies' Home Journal.
Not interesting to most younger folks nowadays. I'm long past the angst stage. I like some of the classics!

Most of mine are left over from the last papers I wrote for school or they're Mind and Media books I'm reviewing -- though I REALLY need to finish God's Bestseller -- I've only got 20 pages or so to go.

The Crimson Sword, by Eldon Thompson.
The Hot Kid, by Elmore Leonard
Digital Audio Essentials
Directing Feature Films, by Mark Travis
Fast Food Nation
The Christian Imagination
That's what is on the desk right now. That doesn't include the stack next to the bookcase, or the bookcase itself.

Hey Warren,
I already did that meme here:

Although, I must say I find the "If I could be a three-year-old" one intriguing....

OK -- Rebecca gets a bye on this one, because I didn't check her blog close enough. I'll figure out another person to tag, and post it later.

Blogroll
I'm changing the blogroll. Some entries are going to be leaving -- NOT because I don't read the blog anymore, not because I don't like them, but because my blogroll is too darn big. The only blogs that will stay on there are blogs that I read every single day, either through RSS feed or by visiting the site itself.
Some blogs that aren't there may show up. I'm going to TRY to limit myself to ten to twenty blogs that are listed there -- right now, there are 51 blogs in my blogroll.

Good idea. I've got quite a large blogroll myself.
On a related note, how do I get back on the SBC blog aggregator?

You're still on it -- there have been some problems, but I THINK they're worked out. I'll double check and make sure -- if you've been deleted (for whatever reason) I'll put you back.

New Logo Graphic Header Thingy
BIG thank yous going out to Amy from
Prochein Amy for her work on the new graphics for the new site. She sent me a bunch of potential title graphics, and I picked the one you now see at the top of the page.
She's also working on some sidebar graphics that will replace the titles that are there right now -- I'll be getting those up later on. So head over to her blog and tell her how much these new graphics rock!

Update
I've been given some GREAT looking graphics for use on the site. I'm going to start testing them out tomorrow. I was GOING to do it tonight, but I have a boatload of reading to do for Friday.
Regular blogging will begin here this weekend, once I'm done my finals. Mark study, the ecumenical councils study, and more. So stick around! It will be worth it -- promise.
{edit} I'm trying to decide whether to move the archives over or leave them at the old site. There are some posts I will move regardless -- the Mark study and the councils of the church posts for starters, plus a few of the old ones. There are some that I'd sooner forget ....

It's the end of the semester at school, and I have a LOT of work to do in the next two weeks. AND I'm setting up a new template to celebrate my new home. I expect to be all moved in by mid-May.

A Call for Help
Not for me, this time!
Mind and Media is looking for some bloggers who want to read and write about what they read.
It's really a great gig -- closest thing many of us will ever come to getting paid to blog. You volunteer to read a book, and blog about it. In exchange, you get a free book -- and rumor has it there may be other incentives down the road.
Crossway is using M&M, as is
Baker, so you won't be getting self-published books from people you've never heard of. Check out the Mind and Media site to see what books are available.
If you're interested, head
here and take the survey -- and tell them I sent you!
I got my first book today (as you can see over on the left side of the page), and I'll be doing a blog entry after each chapter, and one when I'm finished giving my overall impression of the book. I'm looking forward to this one!
