Back from sabbatical

Well, kind of.  I think a sabbatical is where you are supposed to get away from it all and maybe concentrate on learning something new or writing a book.  I haven’t gotten away from anything except blogging.  Work has been busier and family time is all the more precious.  I have, however, been continuing [...]

Moving to Wordpress…

I am in the process of moving Seeking Above to Wordpress.  So, if you try to find me and you get a “blogger not found” message or something similar, it will mean that the transfer is in progress so I might be down for a day or two.
If you do find this site down, you [...]

Auto Bailout – Good Idea?

Tis’ the season. If you’re a bank, insurance firm, and now car manufacturer, it appears that Uncle Sam has a present for you. The best part – it doesn’t matter if your naughty or nice – or competent.

Living in Obama Land

I’ve kind of run into a rut with my posting here at Seeking Above.  So, I’ve started a new blog, Living in Obama Land.  I’m not abandoning Seeking Above, just trying something a little different.
Living in Obama Land is my attempt at “contextualized” blogging evangelism.  What that means is that I’ll be posting from a [...]

Wordpress Envy

The grass is always greener, isn’t it? When I first signed up for blog space I went with Blogger.  I didn’t do a lot of research.  My wife was reading blogs from some of her friends in College Station and they were all using Blogger.  Best of all, it was free.
So, I signed up [...]

Seeking Above Gets an Award?

Now this is a testimony of faith and perseverance. When you blog just to share your faith, it can be discouraging, wondering if anyone is bothering to read what you have to share. Karen from Karen & Gerard Zemek has been an ongoing source of support and encouragement. I thank her, not only for this [...]

Identity Theft – Are you protected?

I work in the computer services industry. As part of that industry I am well aware of the regulations imposed on businesses to protect their customers’ data. I’m not a big government fan. However, I do believe one of the responsibilities of the government is to protect its citizens. To that [...]

Why high gas prices?

While many environmental enthusiast may be quite happy with the current gas crises, because it forces Americans to think more about gas and oil usage, I don’t think our economy can survive letting oil prices get out of control. What we are accomplishing, is increasing our dependency on other countries that want to see our [...]

Why do you blog?

Why do I blog?
That’s a good question. Sometimes I’m not too sure. I have quite a few friends that know I blog but they don’t bother reading it. I guess that’s ok. So does that mean I’m mostly blogging for strangers? Do I really have anything to say that would interest [...]

Global warming – hype or truth and does it matter?

The reports that that in a recent poll only 51% of Christians and only 33% of evangelical Christians consider global warming a major issue. On the other hand, 62% of non-Christian religious people and 69% of atheist see global warming as a serious threat.
In 2006, some well known evangelicals signed a document called [...]
