This past week, I heard one of the finest talks to be given at a student retreat. Ever.Tom, the speaker, mentioned that his life had followed a plan as had been laid out by his parents and the expected norms of society. Then, out of the blue, something happened which provided the ultimate detour for his life. For the first time ever, he asked himself, "what if I'm not a big deal?" Tom went on ...

My good friend Matt Barnes, of Capitol Ministries Indiana, led prayer in the Indiana House of Representatives on Organization Day. To my knowledge, this is the first time a pastor has been allowed to give an uncensored prayer since the ACLU of IN sued then House Speaker Brian Bosma, and Judge David Hamilton ruled against prayer in Jesus name. In the Senate on Organization Day, Sen. Pat Miller gave the invocation, "in Jesus Christ's name." ...

Earlier this year Paul Krugman noted that the U.S, economy is suffering from “a crisis of faith”, implying that we had lost trust in the institutions of capitalism. The word “credit” comes from the Latin root–Credo–”I believe.” When we don’t believe our President or Hank Paulson or the CEO of Citibank, the whole edifice of contemporary American economics begins to crumple. Much of this edifice has been built on the theories of Milton Friedman and ...

Tonight in our small group we talked about the ways that we’re hoping to grow in our faith during this season. Although we’re all at different places in our faith walk, we’re all seeking something, responding to something and hoping for something. We’re longing for something more and better. This idea fits well into the season of the church calendar - Advent. In the Orthodox and Celtic churches, Advent is a 40-day preparation period before ...

OK, so this is just cool. Like, give-you-goosebumps cool. Christianity Today has posted an image of biblical cross references:When Christoph Römhild, a Lutheran pastor in Hamburg, Germany, sent Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. student Chris Harrison a list of 63,779 cross-references between the Bible's 1,189 chapters, the two became enthralled with elegantly showing the interconnected nature of Scripture. Each bar along the horizontal axis represents a chapter, with the length determined by the number of verses. (Books ...

I walked into her room. She recognized me and started to cry. I pulled up a chair and took her hand. “I want to serve.” That’s what she said. She’s dying. Colon cancer. Four years. A couple remissions. Fran and Phil Mortensen have lived in Fort Wayne for a long time. They have spent forty years focusing on people with needs. To use Phil’s words, he stirred up the riot and Fran got it organized. ...

—— 如何在侧栏玩 flash 小游戏 上一篇说到 Firefox 侧栏的一些基本技巧，这里讲一个应用实例。我很喜欢玩 flash 小游戏的，但是我自己都不愿意老是打开煎蛋来玩。跟所有人一样，每次重新载入很烦，我宁可保存到本地。但是直接在标签页打开游戏很可怕的，特别是位图为主的 swf 画面会非常粗糙。所以在侧栏打开 swf 然后拖动到合适大小来玩是最佳方式，下面讲如何实现： 方法一：用 Firefox 自带侧栏。 新建标签页，把本机的 swf 文件拖进去打开，然后把标签页拖放到书签工具栏，右键改其属性，勾选“在侧栏打开此书签”。 然后点击这个书签就可以在侧栏玩了。但是 Firefox 默认的左侧书签很窄，最大宽度大约是 250px，用一个叫 RightBar 的扩展把侧栏改到右边，这样最大宽度可达 500px，而且在右边的视觉习惯会好很多。 效果示意图(为了效果我缩小了窗口，其实 flash 的上下边溢出了)： 方法二：用 Split Pannel 扩展 这个扩展非常轻量级，而且还算方便。安装 Split Pannel 扩展以后，建立一个空白页，右键点 split(左键是往左右键往右)分割出一个侧栏面板，然后可以直接把 swf 游戏拖进去玩了。效果基本同上。好处是不影响原本的 Firefox 侧栏功能，而且可以扩展网页浏览界面，比如要中英文对照时；但如果只是为了玩 swf 还要多装一个扩展就不必了。 方法三：用 Split Browser 扩展 强力推荐，在我测试了所有带分割功能的扩展之后感觉 XUL Apps >Split Browser 是最好用的，界面友善而且很简洁。它提供菜单(可以隐藏)、工具按钮(可以自定义添加)和右键菜单。甚至都不需要，因为鼠标移动到当前标签页边缘时会自动出现分割按钮(支持上下左右四个方向)。 这才是我要的功能，这样不仅宽度限定，也可以设定 swf 的原本高度(这样不会出现 swf 上下边溢出现象了)。在空白标签页分割出左侧栏，然后往下分再割出两个窗口(这是举例子，没事我同时玩三个游戏干吗)，分别调整好它们的大小，看图： 局部： 值得一提的是鼠标移动到分割的小窗口标签时会自动出现地址栏，这个细节太棒了，要知道即时是侧栏也需要右键菜单和地址栏的。 # sein：最后再推荐一下侧边记事本扩展 QuickNote，这篇文章照旧是用它写的 :P # 煎蛋评论组友情提醒：沙发还在 » © sein for 煎蛋, egg. | 本文链接 ...

Have you ever felt like your life is a series of unfortunate events? I hear this phrase all too much in my friends lives. The other day a close friend told me her bank account has gone negative for 3 months in a row and there is nothing she can do about it. I honestly felt bad a moment of empathy for her but immediately realized that she chose to make the money she made. ...
