~ Tom Wright makes a case for penal substitutionary atonement without all of the extreme caricatures. I'm sure the discussion will continue. It's been going on for a few thousand years.

~ We went snorkeling this morning.

~ I came across a website with beautiful photos of Guam. Somehow the photographer shot around the piles of trash, unkempt buildings, and abandoned boonie cars. This is Guam at its best. It is a beautiful place -- from the right angle.

~ Windows Vista compared to Ubuntu version of Linux -- "Ubuntu's best strength is handling the ordinary task-based day-to-day stuff. Vista has a level of completeness and polish that some people find it hard to do without."

"Some people"?

They should say "most people." As much as I like Ubuntu and enjoy working with it when I can, I think the assessors were being generous. It's getting closer but Linux still has a way to go for the ordinary user -- and that's who it's about.

Good point on the theological discussion continuing. That's part of why I like theology so much; it has the aspects of art in it. And it is no cut and dried matter. Even on something like John 3:16 which we Christians can all agree on; do we really "get" the full riches and depths of it? Of course not.

Nice to hear of your snorkeling.

And thanks for your prayers; the Lord was certainly good to us as a family during the time of Dad's passing. And Mom continues to do well, it seems.
