Explosion of Joy

A couple at our church invited us to their 25th wedding anniversary celebration. Only friends and family, but about 95% Presbyterian.

The rest were there, I suppose, to spy out our liberty in Christ, our heedless joy on the dance floor, because even the pre-adolescent boys lost their shyness and joined in.

There was also a video, telling the story of the couples love for each other and love for Christ. The wait staff had never seen anything like it. Some were profoundly moved.

My wife and I danced until midnight. Her neck is all sore from looking up at me with those big dreamy eyes of hers. :-)

I'm refactoring my gameknot web application as a Firefox extension so I'm having to teaching myself XUL.

New Analyses Bolster Central Tenets of Evolution Theory

New Analyses Bolster Central Tenets of Evolution Theory: "Asked to provide examples of non-obvious, testable predictions made by the theory of Intelligent Design, John West, an associate director of the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based ID think tank, offered one: In 1998, he said, an ID theorist, reckoning that an intelligent designer would not fill animals' genomes with DNA that had no use, predicted that much of the 'junk' DNA in animals' genomes -- long seen as the detritus of evolutionary processes -- will someday be found to have a function."

That's it? Where's the beef?
