Crack That Whip!

Posted on June 19, 2015 by ehurst

He Reigns

Posted on May 29, 2015 by ehurst

Don’t be taken by the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt). Embrace holy cynicism. Maybe you’ve heard about the rise in murders in Baltimore. The official story is that the police are in serious hot water and demoralized, so they are … Continue reading →

Psychotic World

Posted on May 28, 2015 by ehurst

When the world acts so crazy, you have to wonder at the definitions of mental health. I’ve noted in the past I’m somewhat a fan of Dr. Thomas Szasz, whose entire career skewered his own profession of psychiatry. His primary … Continue reading →

Just a Nutcase

Posted on May 15, 2015 by ehurst

So here’s what I see coming for Windows users: Windows 10 will be a buy-once-update-forever kind of thing. You won’t get much choice on updates and feature changes. If you have it, you have to accept anything MS wants to … Continue reading →

The Linux Oligarchy

Posted on May 8, 2015 by ehurst

Linux is a product of the technology oligarchy. Were this not so, I wouldn’t even mention Linux — ever. I don’t belong to the technology elite, but they aren’t alien to me. At the critical juncture in my life when … Continue reading →

No Virtual Covenant

Posted on April 22, 2015 by ehurst

You know the drill: This blog is a virtual office for my ministry. I can’t do everything, so some things are excluded by necessity. I’m only human. By the same token, you need not buy into everything you see here. … Continue reading →

Salty Heart

Posted on April 6, 2015 by ehurst

I’ve often said of politics: We have no dog in this fight. Whatever you see on the political landscape is what politicians want you to see. It’s theater, deception, manipulation, but entirely bullshit. Most of the popular political causes are … Continue reading →

Psalm 41

Posted on March 14, 2015 by ehurst

This psalm sounds exactly like David’s experience when his son Absalom rose to usurp the throne (2 Samuel 15). The poetry here depicts a rather sharp and painful memory still fresh in his mind. The term for “poor” here refers … Continue reading →
