So.

There have been some very minor changes since the last time I posted. We now live in South Dakota, I’ve got a new job (doing the same thing), and I cut off about a third of my left middle fingernail.
That about covers it. Questions?
You’d think with all that activity that I’d have something insightful to pass along, some profound spiritual meditation, or some entertaining diversion. Truth be told, there’s been far too much going on for anything to have taken place.
If you still need your amusement fix, try tracking Dan tracking deer. Meta-hunting.

Righteous Anger
by Mark DrzycimskiAug 01, 2005
An interesting article, Be Ye Angry, and Sin Not, was posted over the weekend at Mere Comments that touches on the enigmatic emotion of anger. While the article doesn’t take the time to verbally separate anger from wrath, the author does mention that the distinction needs to be made. For myself, anger has for so long been lumped with retribution and the meting out of justice that it’s an alien thought to consider anger divorced from those ends. Especially as a parent, where doling out punishment for wrongs has many of the same pitfalls.

Coincidence It Ain’t.
by Mark DrzycimskiJun 28, 2005
At a time when I’m examining my family’s “Church-life” very intensely, the email I received this morning from Vision Forums was extremely encouraging. Below are excerpts from a few articles that the email led me to.
National Center for Family Integrated Churches
Read More…As the church has followed the world system, she has acquired practices that are harmful to her families. One example is that most churches have nearly obliterated the scriptural role of the head of the household in church life. This has paralleled what the world has done in the broader culture. Progressively, and often unwittingly, the church has eliminated the father’s role and given it to Sunday school teachers, and childcare workers.
Children in the Meeting of the Ephesian Church
Read More…We need to understand that the meetings in the early church included babies who were cutting teeth, eight-year-old boys who were wired for movement, and budding teenagers being tempted by the worldliness of the world. The children were not in age-graded Sunday schools, but were in the midst of the meeting, and were taught side by side with everyone else. The meetings of the early church were conducted with a full complement of relationships.
Children Destroy Worshipful Atmospheres
Read More…I have a friend who was visiting a large and prominent church in the Northwest. He brought his family down to the front, where they always go, to get settled down for worship. After they sat down someone came down the long aisle and whispered to the father: “we have childcare, could you please take your children to the back and down the hall….” My friend said, “no, we normally keep our children with us.” The usher left. A moment later another usher came down and whispered “We really would not like the diversion the little ones might make during the service, would you please take your children out?” The father repeated what he said before. Then, as everyone was now standing for the opening hymn, another usher came down the aisle and handed him a paper and said: “it is our church policy that children are not in this service,” and he handed him the written policy.
