Curious coins

I was recently in the City Museum, a place as fascinating as it is deserted.

Exhibits are displayed somewhat haphazardly, teasingly l ...

16 hours ago by David Cox

I’ve kind of been off the grid lately-save following a few conversations via Twitter- due to the birth of my son. Thanks again to everyone for all the well wishes. Mommy and baby are doing great. Sleep is a precious commodity but I am blessed to be able to take a few days off to enjoy the adjustment ...

Drowning

17 hours ago by Half Cleveland Dad

Personality Evolution

1 day ago by Libby

I’ve taken various forms of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (a popular personality test) over the last eight years. Each time, I’ve felt like it’s given me some new insight into my life.

Stories of Christians in countries once evangelised by western European missionaries now planning to send their own missionaries over here are common enough these days. But the particular one I heard today contained a turn of phrase that made it worth tucking away for future reference. My father-in- ...
