Measured by Opposition

by Eddie 11.07.2010

My emotions are well and truly mixed. It is, of course, flattering that no less a personage as the well renowned Revd. Drayton Parslow has condescended to take note of this humble blog. On the other hand, it does give me great concern that such a well-renowned scholar has taken issue with something that I [...]

A couple of years ago, I produced a post called the English Bible Version Generator, which helped you produce names for new versions of the Bible in English.

Outreach

by Eddie 02.07.2010

The problem with Dave Walker’s cartoons is that sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh at them, or to recoil in embarrassment when I see myself in them.

I’ve Wasted A Fortune!

by Eddie 05.06.2010

I have to admit that I have a weakness for books. Rarely a week passes without me buying one (or two, or three…) books of one sort or another. But thanks to Phil Groom’s bookshop blog, I’ve just realised that I have been wasting my money on books for a long time now. As you [...]

God Doesn’t Need You!

by Eddie 18.05.2010

The first of April has seen some excellent Christian blog posts: Clayboy has a superb story about the bishop of Rochester being arrested in Germany.

Essay Writing Service

by Eddie 12.02.2010

Since I wrote a post on language learning a few days back, we have been targeted by spam comments  from essay writing services.
