Idolatry Today

I've been reading the major prophets for the last two months and one thing I keep coming across is the idea that Israel has forsaken G-d for the idols of the other nations.

Photo Dump

There are a bunch of pictures clogging up my desktop so what better place to dump them than my blog? (I took this screenshot of my stats the other day. It amused me how everything was multiples of three.)  ("Good morning world" in Gallifreyan. Source got lost in the shuffle. Sorry.)  Screenshot...

Of course, I couldn't go back to sleep so...

Belgium: The First 36 Hours

If anyone tells you traveling is easy, I would like you to point them to this post. Even though it is not the hell of all experiences, it was a typical excursion I think and that just makes it clear that getting from Point A to Point B does not always go smoothly. Because my host dad is in Antwerp...
