Life at Home

Posted by: Drew on: 25 February 2007

So, on Friday afternoon I came home from college because it’s February Break. Hopefully, this will result in much rest and maybe some work will get done as well. Unfortunately, this blog will probably suffer while I’m away from school. This is mostly due to the fact that my access to the [...]

A Call to Prayer

Posted by: Drew on: 22 February 2007

There is currently a delegation of thirteen individuals from various Christian organizations in the United States who have gone to Iran on a diplomatic mission of their own, meeting with religious/governmental leaders of that country.  They hope to engage in the dialogue that certain people have refused, in the hopes that peace might be brought [...]

Posted by: Drew on: 20 February 2007

Today the temperature rose above the freezing point, and it has made me oh so glad. It really did feel like spring. Now the clouds have come back and its cooled down a bit, but I still have my window wide open. That’s something I haven’t done in a while. And then I [...]

Believe nothing…

Posted by: Drew on: 19 February 2007

“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings — that doctrine believe and cling to, and [...]

The Wayfarer

Posted by: Drew on: 17 February 2007

I decided to google my “name” the Wayfarer, and not surprisingly this is something that many have used over the centuries.

I’m not sure whether to thank or curse Jordon Cooper for pointing out this post. Frankly I am just appalled. How can this place actually call itself a church? I don’t think they can really make that claim. Christ said “it is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick.” [...]

A Force More Powerful

Posted by: Drew on: 15 February 2007

I stumbled across this website a few weeks ago that sold a game called A Force More Poweful, the Game of Nonviolent Strategy. Decided it sounded kinda cool, ordered it, and today I got it in the mail (well, I got it at the Library for some strange reason). Haven’t had much of [...]

I HATE SNOW!

Posted by: Drew on: 14 February 2007

I hereby announce my intentions to move out of the state of New York as quickly as possible. We had I don’t have any idea how much snow over the past 24 hours, but it isn’t stopping as far as I can tell. Today as I was walking to class I was slipping [...]
