Oh come on frosty mornings!
Your charms are wearing thin.
I'm weary of commuting in
a car as cold as sin.

It makes me nervous when the engine
doesn't want to start.
Its coughs and splutters are like a
rhinocerous's fart.

The wheel has induced frostbite;
the engine's rattling.
Suspension's frozen creaking
sounds like chickens have moved in.

The washer jets are iced up
and the roads are slick as grease.
It'll be a downright miracle if
I get there in one piece.

Jack Frost no longer pleases me
with trees full of dandruff.
So come on frosty mornings,

Question

What do Christians have to say about evolution and natural selection?

Question

Question

Wouldn't God be able to see through Pascal's Wager, being omnipotent and all?

Question

What do Christians have to say about the existence of dinosaurs?

I was recently asked on Facebook to answer a few questions (as a Christian) that seemed worthy of more space and a different format from that allowed by Facebook. Also, although there are plenty of other web sites dealing with these issues, sometimes it helps to see one more perspective, so here's mine.

My intention is to deal with the questions with brevity and non-technical language (so far as possible). There are plenty of other web sites that can provide a more academic approach, but they are not necessarily easy to read.

PCs tend to slow down over time, usually as a result of the increased demands placed on them. The good news is that the situation can often be improved dramatically without having to shell out more money. For sure, one of the biggest wins is to install more memory (if possible), but after that, here are the steps that I personally follow when cleaning up machines for colleagues and friends.

Whilst clearing out some old files, I unearthed a mini web site I'd created after our last holiday abroad, in 2003. We have some very happy memories of that holiday - it was our last before Sharon fell pregnant and our world became significantly more complicated!

Might be worth a look if you have any interest in Corfu. I've resurrected it here.

It seems to be more British to mutter quietly under one's breath than to make a direct complaint. When it comes to television programmes, I am more likely to switch off when offended than to express my views to the broadcaster. But perhaps we should take more time to feedback to broadcasters how we feel about the material they present to us?
