It  is 4:08 PM Saturday afternoon. In the old days we use to prepare for the Christian Sabbath on Saturday evenings. Now to me every day is the Lord’s Day. “Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge [...]

It is now 3:03 PM Saturday afternoon. I stopped watching the Ohio & Michigan college football game because Ohio was winning. I remember the days when Michigan was a powerhouse college football team. Now Michigan sucks.

I am down in our basement writing in my private diary and listening to the music of Aphex Twin. The [...]

It is 10:11 AM Saturday morning in the flow of being alive in a sin cursed american world. Everywhere you go in this screwed-up world you see the effects of the american death culture. Has america really made the world a better place to be a man or woman of God? Do you feel safe [...]

Arthur Koestler’s manic intellectual career by Christopher Hitchens

The Zealot

I cannot recall a book title that was less well-shaped to its subject. Far from being a “skeptic,” Arthur Koestler was a man not merely convinced but actively enthused by practically any intellectual or political or mental scheme that came his way. When he was in [...]

It is 2:21 PM Friday afternoon. I am going through another day normal. Carol has gone to bed for the day. I have been reading and wandering my cell.

Carol wrote this Christ Mass letter today to go with Christ Mass cards—

I am at it early this year given the fact I did not send out [...]

This morning my wife was singing this old hymn as she got ready to meet another day—

The tender love a father has
For all his children dear,
Such love the Lord bestows on them
Who worship Him in fear.

The Lord remembers we are dust,
And all our frailty knows;
Man’s days are like the tender grass,
And as the flower he [...]

It was 23 hours ago when I last wrote. Time just keeps rolling along. Some times I get sick of being aware of time. There is always time demanding you keep decaying.

Carol just left to visit her mother and go to a grocery store. I am down in the basement writing in my blogs.

It is [...]

It is 9:44 AM Thursday morning in the flow of existence. I am down in our basement reading the essays of George Orwell. I already read a couple chapters in the Gospel of Mark this morning.

It is 11:45 AM late Wednesday morning in the flow of existence. I took Rudy for a walk this morning at Kollen Park. On the way home I stopped at Lemonjello’s and got me a mocha. I then went next door to the Full Circle music shop to talk to Carl and then stopped at [...]

It is 10:34 AM Tuesday morning in the flow of existence. It is painful for me to write the word “existence”.

I just got back from taking Rudy for a walk at Van Raalte Farm. It is a cold cloudy morning here by Lake Michigan.

I am going to go to our local public library around 11 [...]

It is 8:15 AM Tuesday morning in the flow of my ephemeral existence. I am down in our basement listening to the music of Pelican. I am seeking to wake up to another day in a quiet manner. Carol should be home from work anytime.

I got up this morning around 7:44 AM. It is a [...]

It is 1:57 PM Monday afternoon according to the wall clock in front of me. I can not stop Time. Time just keeps going by no matter what. All I can do is let time carry me to the grave. “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has [...]

It is 4:47 PM Sunday evening. Carol is sleeping. I do not know if she plans to get up and go to Covenant PCA this evening to worship the Lord God? She told me this morning they had Communion today at church. During the worship service she said a young man had a grandma seizure. [...]

It is 2:47 PM Sunday afternoon in the flow of existence. I am down in our basement messing with my lap top. Carol has gone to bed for the day. I watched some professional football this afternoon.

HOWEVER LONG it may take to relinquish its hold on American culture, evangelicalism in the United States—still probably best defined by the British historian David Bebbington as a movement whose members adhere to conversionism, Biblicism, activism and crucicentrism—faces near-certain extinction. It has been blinded by its symbiotic relationship with the Enlightenment, and has perpetually failed [...]

It is 6:15 AM Sunday morning in the flow of existence. I have been up since 5:04 AM this morning. I went to bed last night around 8:30 PM. I had one of those days where I could not stay awake yesterday. I basically watched college football from Noon time till 6:30 PM yesterday.

Now it [...]

It is 9:38 AM Saturday morning. I am down in our basement writing on my lap top to the music of Aphex Twin. I am having a cup of tea as I write in my blogs.

The clock in front of me tells me the time is 4:39 PM Friday evening. Another day of my life has gone by. I can not live this day over again. This day is now in the Book of Life.

Carol went to bed and I came down in the basement to write in my blogs.

Today [...]

It is 8:22 AM Friday morning in the flow of being alive. It is Friday the 13th. We will soon be in the middle of another month. I always find my mind going back in the past when we come to the end of another year. I am amazed I have lived this long in [...]

It is 4:27 PM Wednesday early evening in the flow of existence. I am down in our basement gathering my thoughts. I had an unusual day today. I spent time with a woman named Michele that is a friend of my brother Mike. We met this morning downtown Holland at Lemonjello’s and then went to [...]

The Word of the Cross

Last night for evening devotions I read the following to my wife—”to understand Paul’s interpretation of Christ’s obedient and faithful death fully, we must first understand his view of the human condition. Although it is probably the case that his view of the human problem was defined (or at least refined) [...]

It is now in the flow of existence 10:08 AM. I took my lap top down in the basement where it usually is since I have wireless. I came down here to be close to my library. This morning I was looking to see what I had on the Gospel of Mark when I came [...]

It is 9:21 AM Tuesday morning in the flow of being alive in a sin cursed universe. Carol just left to go visit her aged mother. My mother has been dead since December 1968. I never knew my father. My pop could be dead also.

It is 2:12 PM Monday afternoon. It has been a long day. I am ready to go to bed.

I got up this morning sometimes pass 6 o’clock AM. I got up because it was too hot under the sheets. We have had warm weather the last couple of days and we have flannel sheets on [...]

It is 11:13 AM Sunday morning. I am now back down in the basement writing in my blogs. I took my lap top upstairs this morning. I like being down in our open basement writing because I have most of my books around me.

This morning I took our dog Rudy for a walk at Kollen [...]

It is 6:56 AM Sunday morning in the flow of existence. I got up around 6:15 AM this morning. I was having one of those dreams where I am lost and can not find my way home. Finally I got sick of being lost and woke myself up to face another day of living. It [...]

If heaven the grateful liberty would give
That I might choose my method how to live,
And all those hours propitious fate should lend,
In blissful ease and satisfaction spend:
Near some fair town I’d have a private seat,
Built uniform, not little, nor too great:
Better if on a rising ground it stood;
Fields on this side, on that a neighboring [...]

the color of the fire

I took the day off from work so here I sit feeling like I have been run over by a mack truck. I did not sleep well last night. I worked so hard yesterday that I got sick to my being. I woke up several times during the night feeling dead. [...]

It is Now 8:56 AM Saturday morning. Carol has gone to bed for the day. The sky is blue and the sun is shining this morning so I should take Rudy for a walk someplace this morning.

It is 5:26 PM Friday evening in the flow of existence. I had a normal Friday. Nothing happened to be upset about. I already know the world is going to hell.

Our oldest son Caleb Jon called this afternoon and we talked for over an hour. Caleb is newly married and living in Boston Mass working [...]

“1: And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3: And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4: Again, he sent [...]

When I got up I walked to our small kitchen and made a pot of coffee. It is another cold late autumn morning. I saw sun light outside this morning. [...]

It is kind of cool being able to write here and know no one reads this crap. I have stopped posting three or four times a day in my three other blogs. I have run out of things to tell the unbelieving world. I now write only for myself. I have nothing else to really [...]

It is now 11:51 AM late Thursday morning, soon it will be 12 o’clock PM afternoon. Time keeps flowing into infinite space. Where does the Time go?

It is now in the flow of existence 12:22 PM Wednesday afternoon. I did help my wife with yard work. We raked our back yard of dead leaves.

I really have not done much else today. I feel out of it. I do not know what to do with myself today? I feel aimless. I thought [...]

It is 9:58 AM in the flow of my existence. How do you define being alive? What exactly is existence? How many people in the world ever struggle with the kind of questions I ask myself?

I got up this morning around 6:13 AM with my wife Carol Keen. Carol made a pot of coffee and [...]

Waldron on Spurgeon, Eschatology, and the Nature of Millennium

In Dr. Waldron’s most recent blog entries he makes a point that the two main proponents of Historic Premillennialism, Justin Martyr in the Patristic Era and George Eldon Ladd in the modern era had no place for a national restoration of Israel during the millennium. He states [...]

A Simple Life

It is 7:08 AM early Saturday morning and I wasted. Last night we went to bed around 9 o’clock and woke up at Midnight because I felt weird and my hands were numb. When I got up Beth had just gotten home and Josiah was watching television. I ate something and sat waiting [...]

It is 4:08 PM Monday afternoon. I write here in JournalSpace because no one reads what I write. Sometimes I paste what I write here in my three other blogs. I like writing words not knowing if I will share them with strangers.
