Note: This is the last in a series of posts from The Lost Gazette Chronicles, focusing on those that fall into the “Faith” category. I wrote this one in July of 2008, back when I was still semi-coherent. I’m early in the book of Job in my 2008 “Read Through the Bible” curriculum, and I… Continue reading In League with the Stones
The Incompetent Arachnid & the Cunning Coleopteran
All I have to say about the title of this post is…Roget let me down yet again. For the past couple of months I’ve been observing a female yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia; a type of orb weaver) just outside one of our garage windows.

Professional Thanksgiver: Could you do it?
Note: I’m continuing to post selected articles from The Lost Gazette Chronicles, focusing on those that fall into the “Faith” category (why? because I need the reminders).
