43things.com

Wow - I am so enjoying this new site. 43things.com is about goal setting. Registration is FREE and once you've signed up - you can start adding your goals.

You can word them anyway you'd like and add tags to them too. Once you've added an item, you will see how many other members have the same goal. You can also write comments down about how you will get to your goal or how your progress is going. You can also reply to others and encourage them by giving them a "cheer".

I'm having a lot of fun doing this. Just check out my side bar and see all my goals!

Finding a Good Book

For the past couple of years, I’ve been wanting to learn PHP. I’ve taught myself HTML and CSS with some really good books and now it’s time to find a good PHP one – one that I can follow and that is in the right price range.

I’m still playing around with it a bit anyway and understand a few bits and pieces – enough to tweak phpnuke and phpbb but not enough to create my own modules or write my own programming.

I really do enjoy creating webpages/sites and would just like to keep up.

Jesus was a Warmonger! huh?

Nota Bene: The Peacemaker and The Warmonger

I think the blogger here was trying to defend President George Bush's decision for going to war. I'm not really interested in commenting on the politics part.

In the piece the blogger, K. Geffert, says that "Jesus never, ever, taught 'peace on earth' apart from His Kingdom." and that "Jesus is the ultimate warmonger!"

This just floored me. I must say that her comments frustrated me, especially with my strong Anabaptist tendencies. I think a big part of my disagreement is that I view the Kingdom differently. It sounds like she believes that the Kingdom is still to come and I believe that Jesus has already started it here and it continues to grow and when He returns it will become perfect.

Jesus never picked up a sword or tried to force his views on anyone. The conflict comes when some people get what Jesus is saying and others don't. We are to love our neighbours (that includes are loving our enemies as ourselves and treating others the way we want to be treated). Not sure how that constitutes warmongering.

Anyway I could go on and on but I also want to know what others think too. What do you think?
