The Faithful Geek: The Practical One
http://nicholasccasey.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-daughter-is-most-practical-of-my.html
An exploration of parenthood, corporate life,. And the intersection between faith and pop culture. My daughter is the most practical of my three kids. When presented with new information, she approaches it with reason and logic in a way that is admirable for any elementary aged kid. At her best, she is calm and collected and almost diabolical in the best way possible. Perhaps I should explain. I whistled, perhaps even purred. "That is a beautiful Porche," I said. Well, no." I answered. Zu repeated this p...

http://nicholasccasey.blogspot.com/2015/07/room-for-doubt.html
An exploration of parenthood, corporate life,. And the intersection between faith and pop culture. Within the hero's journey, you will find a myriad of under developed traits, flaws and weaknesses, and imperfections making the hero unlikely - or at least undeserving. Through that varied slop of characteristics, there is one trait that surfaces frequently enough to be believable. When did that happen? I'm just a normal person. There is nothing special about me.". Both groups are surprised by their judgmen...

The Faithful Geek: Scenes from a movie: The Matrix
http://nicholasccasey.blogspot.com/2015/08/scenes-from-movie-matrix.html
An exploration of parenthood, corporate life,. And the intersection between faith and pop culture. Scenes from a movie: The Matrix. My friend Jeff and I went to see The Matrix on opening night and it was unlike anything we had ever seen. We went straight to his house from the theater to hang out for the rest of the night. While there, his mom asked us what it was about. Neither of us could find words to describe what we had just watched so we quoted a line from the movie. You want to change something?

The Faithful Geek: Pilchuck
http://nicholasccasey.blogspot.com/2005/06/pilchuck.html
An exploration of parenthood, corporate life,. And the intersection between faith and pop culture. At a young age I discovered one of God's greatest gifts, the surreal beauty of the mountains. It happened on Mt. Pilchuck, a mystical pull that started in the summer of 1990 and captured me for nearly a decade. The mountain was my high school's namesake, but long before the words college prep and grade point average meant anything to me, Mt. Pilchuck was my introduction into God's playground. The trail begi...

http://nicholasccasey.blogspot.com/2015/06/here-comes-gay-wedding-part-2.html
An exploration of parenthood, corporate life,. And the intersection between faith and pop culture. Here Comes a Gay Wedding (Part 2). Gay weddings are legal. You do not like it. So now what? 8221; The way we treat those within our own community should be an example that reflects the love that God has shown us. If we can’t get that right, how can anyone outside the church expect to be treated any differently? Beyond loving other Christians, we are given the same command in reference to those who do not sh...
