Keeping Portland, Oregon Awake

The Internet is a wonderful place to read about all the things you have either done or been connected to that which others dislike, as we noted in our last posting.  Now, in addition to what's here, our companion site's subject--pile driving equipment, and specifically Vulcan pile driving equipment--has found its way onto the blog …

Sanctifusion: A Blog to Check Out

While making this blog a stench in the nostrils of many at TitusOneNine, I'm pleased to announce a new blog worth looking at: Sanctifusion. With the things that divide Christians into this "tradition" and that, it's good to see something that blurs some of our boundaries.  Sanctifusion does that.  Take a look.

The whole fracas over the immigration "compromise" arrived at in the Senate centres around issues such as social justice, rule of law and the like, but the central issue is still the same and still simple: who's going to do the work?  If the work cannot be done here economically, it will go elsewhere.  If …

There is no question that Falwell's move into …

Mitt Romney’s Mormonism: Some Things to Consider

Back in March I did a short piece on this subject where I made the statement that "the Book of Mormon does not teach Mormonism!"  I also said that  "...expect to see considerable discussion about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and its beliefs."  That has certainly been the case.  It's …
