• Glitch in the Matrix: Part 1 – The Shroud of Turin

  

  In The Matrix, there was a scene of a black cat walking across a doorway. Neo then sees the same cat walking across the doorway again. He whispers to himself, “Whoa! Deja vu!” Trinity then explains that a deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix, whereby something is changed in it. In this…

• Contemplating Contemplative Prayer

  

  As you may have read previously on my quest to waking up earlier, I’m glad to report that it has gone fairly well. Looking at my Fitbit data, in July, I had about 4 days when I woke up at 6am +/- 20 minutes. In September, that has increased to 18 days. The biggest change…

  I love Netflix’s service.  I’ve been a customer since they became available in Canada.  The service is cheap, fast, and has increasingly delivered very high quality original content.  Renee loves to watch Korean drama.  I love to watch zombie shows.  When Netflix came out with Kingdom (a Korean zombie drama), we finally found a show that…

  Just this past Sunday, we heard the famous gospel passage of John 8:1-11, where the scribes and Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman who was accused of committing adultery, asking Him what they should do with her.
