An Amateur Film Review -- Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ
Almost ten years ago, I turned a college research paper into an article and submitted it to a national alarm dealer's magazine for publication. The editor was interested, but not after the Powers that Be read it. I received a call from a total stranger asking me if I believed what I had written in this article. I said, "Yes, I did..." and suddenly the editor wasn't interested any more.
The magazine did list it in their Reader Service section, and I did get a few requests for a mail out, but that isn't the same.
So, here it is: the unpublishable Reliability, Computers, and Your Central Station
Yes, indeed! And I make house calls! Is your computer sick with a virus from the Internet? Need more hard drive space?

I believe the following deserves enshrinement on the World Wide Web. It is too good to allow to rot on a bookshelf. Please read it slowly, reverently, and often...

Here are my contributions to Christian Apologetics on the subject of Origins. The first was written to Dr. Laura:
And this one is addressed to Neal Boortz:
Here is my lame attempt at poetic verse. Go ahead, laugh and wretch all you want. With a world population of many billions, somebody out there in cyberspace is likely to appreciate it.
These have been rattling around in my head for some time.
My friend Andy writes poetry. His style is different than mine. I know it comes straight from his heart. Anyone who has been where he is at will identify. Keep your hankees handy and enjoy...
Andy is a very creative fellow. He also has his own line of t-shirts. If you'd like to buy one, drop me an email and I'll arrange it.
Tired of problems with Internet Explorer? Then I highly recommend a free alternative called Firefox. I've been using it for well over a year and found it to be a very stable browser platform. Most of the pages found on this site will work well in it. Please check it out for yourself. It will not replace Internet Explorer, however, if you are looking at a page that is just a little off in IE, then try looking at it in Firefox. More and more websites are switching to supporting Firefox to the exclusion of IE.
