ShBlog: Hell needn't be hot. Mere bad engineering will suffice.
http://www.shblog.org/2014/05/hell-neednt-be-hot-mere-bad-engineering.html
Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Hell needn't be hot. Mere bad engineering will suffice. Please be warned: I am going to use A LOT OF CAPITAL LETTERS in this diatribe, since I am mad as heck and I'm not going to take it any more. Our Whirlpool dishwasher . and its evil,. Seriously over-engineered silverware tray. Three days a week, my wife leaves before I do, so it's my privilege to unload the clean dishes and put them away. I do fine until I get to the dreaded silverware basket. We're not talking about a space ...

Skip to main content. Skip to primary sidebar. Skip to secondary sidebar. Discovering Jesus in the Word. Larr; Behold the Lamb of God. Christ became flesh and ‘tabernacled’ among us →. Snakes on a Pole. Posted by Larry Short. If I asked you to brainstorm a list of biblical metaphors for Christ from the animal kingdom, some would probably come quickly to mind: lion and lamb. Among them. And now, of course, you can add the crimson worm. But the snake certainly did get a bad start in the Garden, as the crea...

ShBlog: Cruising the Twitterverse
http://www.shblog.org/2013/02/my-twitter-profile-httptwitter.html
Friday, February 08, 2013. I've been wanting for awhile to write a blog to explain my love affair with Twitter. I'm not sure it will help anyone else, but at least it may explain some peculiar aspects of my own personality. I was at a Stanford Publishing on the Web conference in the fall of 2006 (I think? When I heard Silicon Valley venture capitalist and visionary Guy Kawasaki. Speak I was leading a delegation of folks from World Vision. Without hesitation, Guy answered my question: "Twitter! From my ha...

ShBlog: Celebrating a transition to Glory
http://www.shblog.org/2015/03/celebrating-transition-to-glory.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. Celebrating a transition to Glory. Today we're reflecting on the life and legacy of Darlene's dad, Frederick W. French, who passed peacefully into glory on the morning of March 30 at about 3:30 am in Victorville, CA. He was 95. For many years Fred had been anticipating this homegoing, and we are very grateful that he is now in the arms of the Savior he was so excited about seeing face-to-face. He also loved (and even composed) sacred music. He kept a tape recorder on the bed ...

ShBlog: The (Hopefully Short) Story of My Life
http://www.shblog.org/2011/05/hopefully-short-story-of-my-life.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. The (Hopefully Short) Story of My Life. Me with the newest member of our family,. Precious little Annabelle Ivy! In the meantime, I thought I should use this particular blog space to give you a little more background on who I am and what makes me tick. (As opposed to what ticks me off! Learning to Live for Christ. Since that's the most important thing that's ever happened to me, the rest is footnote. Like many young people, I didn't really figure out what it meant to live for Ch...

ShBlog: Day 6: My most embarrassing moments
http://www.shblog.org/2013/01/day-6-my-most-embarrassing-moments.html
Sunday, January 06, 2013. Day 6: My most embarrassing moments. On Day 6 of "January Blog-a-Day," I've spent a lot of time trying to recall those moments I've tried hard to forget, the most embarrassing moments of my life. Fortunately most (but not all) of them happened when I was quite a bit younger. I make it my goal most of the time these days to avoid severe embarrassment. But perhaps my most severe embarrassment had nothing to do with having my pants down, at least literally. (And thank God, beca...

ShBlog: Atheists Vs. Christians: Can We Treat Each Other Better?
http://www.shblog.org/2011/05/atheists-vs-christians-can-we-treat.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Atheists Vs. Christians: Can We Treat Each Other Better? I have an atheist friend named David. We've had extensive discussions about my faith (and his lack of it), and various things I've posted on my blog. We've known each other since we were in high school, and I feel that despite our differences of opinion on matters of faith, we're on pretty good terms. I respect Dave and like him a lot. I hope to learn how each group feels we could more effectively respect one another and wor...

ShBlog: My Colonoscopy: The Preparation
http://www.shblog.org/2008/09/my-colonoscopy-preparation.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. My Colonoscopy: The Preparation. OK, the votes are in, and, by a vast margin of 1-0 (see the blog before last), they are in favor of me sharing about my recent colonoscopy experience. This is not for entertainment purposes, mind you. It is simply to help someone (like me, three weeks ago) looking to see what this routine procedure is like from the patient's perspective. Then, as of breakfast the morning before the day of the procedure, that's when things really get kicked in...

ShBlog: The Least (and Most) Dangerous Forms of Travel
http://www.shblog.org/2012/04/least-and-most-dangerous-forms-of.html
Thursday, April 05, 2012. The Least (and Most) Dangerous Forms of Travel. What is the most dangerous form of transportation? And what is the safest? The answers may surprise you. Also, it depends on how you look at the data. This page on Wikipedia. Looks at it in three different ways: 1) Deaths per journey traveled. 2) Deaths per hour spent traveling. Or 3) Deaths per kilometer traveled. So, here are the stats for deaths per million hours of travel. And ending with the most dangerous. What woke me up was...
