I just had an amazing discussion with my 14 year old son who is becoming a very thoughtful person.  It was basically a discussion about the various arguments for the existence of God and for the rationality of our faith in Jesus Christ.

First we discussed the concept of the Aristotelian “unmoved mover”.  We moved from there to the Teleological Argument for the Existence of God.  We also threw in the Ontological Argument for the Existence of God.  We then moved to Leibniz’ Theodicy and the Problem of Evil.  After that we discussed the Argument from Miracles ala David Hume, aka the Christological Argument for the Existence of God and the Arguments of Fulfilled Prophecy.  And finally we ended with Pascal’s Wager.

Yep! I had this discussion with my 14 year old son.  Thank God that my major in Philosophy has finally paid off!

My January article for Christian Computing Magazine is now live. If you read my article on QuickVerse then I hope you will also go on over to Christ-Tech.com and post in the forums about it.

We had a little snowstorm with about 2-3 inches last week. Daniel and Michael played in it all day and here is Daniel just before coming back in to warm up.

This little screech owl was just sitting on our window sill the other day so I immediately got my camera and snapped off about thirty shots. This is one the three best. To see the other two click the picture and it will take you to my Flickr account.
Unfortunately Michael tried to get some pix and he got spooked. But it was amazing to see him.

I can’t resist posting this for two reasons.  See them below …

Reason #1

If you’ve been reading my blog you know I’m not a fan. But man while it is at first funny, it was terribly embarrassing and I really feel for the guy.  I hope this won’t be the only thing we conservatives key on.

EDIT: After further review it seems Chief Justice Roberts got nervous after Obama interrupted him which led Roberts to flub the oath.  The mistake was that Roberts asked Obama to swear that he would “execute the office of President to the United States faithfully” when it reads “I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States”.  Notice the faithfully is out of place and he is President OF the US not TO the US.  A funny moment was when the two shook hands at the luncheon in Statuary Hall afterwards.  So, it would seem that Obama got eager while Roberts got confused.

Reason #2

It gives me a chance to say the following:
I truly pray that God will bless the President of the United States.  I also pray that this will teach us all that we need not consider the color of a man … or woman’s … skin when selecting our leaders, but rather the content of their character.

May God indeed bless the UNITED States of America as ONE nation under God and INDIVISIBLE!!

Finally, let me say to President George W. Bush, Thanks for your service, sir.  May God bless you and your family and may you use these days to honor your maker and your own name with dignity.
