SPEAKING OF BIOLA...

It's the end of the semester here at Biola University (though I do have a final and a project to turn in by next Tuesday) and that means WINTER BREAK. Yes, it's true, adding my three vacation days to the university's incredibly generous week and a half with pay makes for two full weeks of vacation. That being the case, and having really slow dial-up at home, I won't be blogging very much.

Later...

Googlism

I ran a Googlism for "biola" just for amusement. Two favorites:

biola is a product line from tine ba consisting of several varieties of yoghurt

and

biola is a kind of bubble

Hmmmmm...

UNBORN BABY TAKEN

Police search for baby ripped from murdered mom's womb--KYTV Springfield, MO

A desperate search is underway in northwest Missouri for a fetus that police believe could still be alive after being cut from the womb of its mother. The 23-year-old woman was found murdered in her home here on Thursday afternoon.

What desperate evil is behind this?

PARENT'S RESOURCE FOR CHRISTMAS TRUTH-TELLING

If you're one of those parents who has lied to your child about Santa, but don't now how to back up the truck, check out Who is St. Nicholas?

There, now don't you feel better?

A bit of fall color in Southern California. More color on the fotolog

ON A CHEERIER NOTE...

I uploaded a picture of the TFB 90th anniversary clean-up over on The Fotolog. I realize this doesn't sound particularly exciting, but it turned out to be an action shot of sorts. I like it.

GET YOUR OWN HOLIDAY!

I was over at Blogs-4-God and followed their link to the 2004 Planned Parenthood Choice on Earth Holiday Card... Their beginning blurb:

'Tis the season to share with family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones the message of "choice on earth."

You don't like God.
You don't like his rules (yes, abortion is homicide and most often murder... God's against murder).
Yet you 'celebrate' one of his holidays?
Get your own holiday!!

We REALLY need to take back the celebration of the birth of Messiah...

Dump cultural Santa (parents, why do INSIST on lying to your children!!?)
Celebrate Jesus
Teach a bit of theology... It is about the incarnation, you know

Not a Jesus follower? I don't mean to be offensive, but there's always Solstice.
Christmas is ours.

[this rant has been brought to you courtesy of the infernal tinky bell rung at a fast and steady pace by the guy in front of the place where I've been doing homework and the totally offensive holiday-stealing people at Planned Parenthood]

STUDENT'S DREAM...

OK, internet research is getting very cool.

Google Is Adding Major Libraries to Its Database

WHAT?

This guy BIT his Jack Russell because she pooped in the house. At the very least this is WEIRD! So if he bites his dog, would he bite a person…
