The Eagle & Child

Am I doing some kind of cyber cross-pollination by suggesting you read @XIANITY on Twitter?  I just found him/her via @boydston and it’s absolutely gold material. GOLD, I tell you!  I’ve just started reading the nearly 600 Tweets.  Here’s my favourite so far (they’re posted as news items by various categories): PURITANS: Jonathan Edwards to [...]

As a part of my ongoing campaign of shameless self-promotion, I direct you the CanWebbie’s interview with me.  I warn you: it is wholly uninspiring (other than the questi0ns asked) and I offer advice which I don’t follow. Also, here is a brief, poorly filmed and uninspiring video, shot at about 9:00 this morning, of [...]

You may have noticed the little button at the top of my sidebar, which says “2010 CWA NOMINEE”.  It seems that a kind reader (or a couple of readers) has nominated me for the Canadian Weblog Awards in the categories of “Art & Photography” (for Photolicious) andthe sweeping-but-naturally-associated “Religion, Spirituality and Philosophy” (for this blog). What [...]

Nearly forgot that today marks 6 years of the Eagle & Child.  I should have saved yesterday’s post for today, because I don’t have much to say. We had Madeline’s friend party today. 12 kids running around screaming for 2 hours. (Thankfully we used one of the school’s banquet rooms.) Too much.  I think that marks [...]

I just spent way too much time creating the following line chart, which shows the relationship between how full my schedule is and how much blogging I do: As you can see, my Busy-ness to Inspiration Ratio is pretty high (or is it low? I can never remember.)  September was a productive month both in [...]

The Twouble with Twitter (via): Lately I’ve been thinking more about all the social networking apps available out there. I’ve resisted getting into many of them. Twitter and Facebook alone occupy enough time. I’ve considered taking a break or quitting both apps completely. I like some of the connections (re)made through Facebook, but I don’t [...]

‘I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.’ – The Fellowship of the Ring There are few things I desire more than to write–here, at least.  And yet these days I have little to say, little energy/will to say it, and, it feels, even less ability to say it.  I just don’t have [...]

I’m going on a little trip with Olivia.   With my iPod Touch it’s much easier to use Twitter than WordPress (although there is a WordPress App that works quite well).  Because of this, I’ve set things up so that theoretically there will be a “digest” post of the day’s Tweets posted at the end of [...]

(Stolen from Maryanne) 1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Preached a sermon (preached several, in fact).  Also, toboganned in -47 degrees celsius (including windchill). 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? No and no.  I didn’t really make resolutions, but [...]
