  Happy Father’s Day, Dad

  When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.
  Mark Twain
  Dad has been gone since 1987, and there are days I miss him […]

  Honor and Shame

  The family and I went to see Prince Caspian on opening night a couple weeks back, and we were all a little disappointed in the movie’s departure from the original story. My better half read the Narnia Chronicles to the kids when they were younger, and the older ones have read the books numerous times. […]

  He was crucified, died, and was buried…

  Today is Good Friday. Not sure why it’s called “Good”, as it’s marks the day that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was brutally tortured and killed. The day that he suffered in our stead. The Creator of the Universe had humbled himself and took on flesh, lived a sinless life among sinful people, and […]

  Angry White Guys

  02.25.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I heard about this article from both Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh last week; the article talks about how many pundits are focusing on all of the voter categories but one, and that is the one that will decide the upcoming presidential election; the Angry White Man.

  According to the description in that article, I […]

  A Psalm 65 Worldview

  By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
  O God of our salvation,
  the hope of all the ends of the earth
  and of the farthest seas;
  the one who by his strength established the mountains,
  being girded with might;
  who stills the roaring of the seas,
  the roaring of […]

  Plane on a Conveyer Belt

  BoingBoing.net ran yet another post on the stupid “Plane on a Conveyer Belt” question:
  Imagine a plane is sitting on a massive conveyor belt, as wide and as long as a runway. The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, moving in the opposite direction. Can the plane take off?
  Of […]

  Foolish Disbelief

  FFH has a song called “One of These Days“. The lyrics talk about how things will be different “one of these days” when we get to heaven…
  One of these days I’m gonna fly
  Over the mountain
  One of these days I’m gonna ride
  On the silver lining
  One of these days I’m gonna witness
  All I’ve been missing
  One of these […]

  “And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? or do we imagine we no longer need its assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a Sparrow cannot fall to the […]

  Today we celebrate Veterans Day in the US. Other parts of the world celebrate a similar holiday known as Remembrance Day. Wherever it is celebrated, and however it’s called, it’s a day of remembrance of those who have fought against tyranny and for freedom.
  World War I — known at the time as “The Great […]

  Team Hoyt

  In the Men’s Fraternity video shown at our meeting this morning, the topic was “What Every Dad Needs to Know”. A music video was included at the end that featured Rick & Dick Hoyt, a father/son team that has competed in marathons and triathalons across the country. Yes, it’s a team effort, and a very […]

Welcome to davintosh. I write about anything that strikes my fancy; no guarantee that you'll find it interesting, or that you'll agree with me, or that you'll be entertained. Not that I don't care. I just don't read minds. It'd be great if you'd leave a comment to let me know you were here.
