Just an engineer. Nothing to see here. Keep on moving. I recommend the About Site section right below this.<\/p>\n

I took up blogging because I’m interested in the underlying software, and I wanted to understand what I could do with it. \u00a0It’s given me a wonderful venue to show off my photography and to express my interests.<\/p>\n

The Site<\/h4>\n

This site will cover a wide range of topics including:\u00a0 photography, church and society and technology.\u00a0 Basically if it catches my fancy, you might see a post on it.\u00a0 The technology portion will deal with ways to better ways to communicate with others.\u00a0 Photography is a hobby that my father instilled from a young age.\u00a0 In the church and society section I’ll mostly be posting my thoughts and considerations about church groups that I interact with, but you will also see \u00a0more general posts about the church interaction with society.<\/p>\n

The name of the website stems from a journal quote<\/a> of Anglican cleric and theologian, John Wesley.\u00a0 I’ll summarize by saying that Wesley had been present at several events where people who were considered the dregs of society had publicly repented to the point of falling into tears and “falling into fits”.\u00a0 Some even testified that these changes came about because of dreams and visions.\u00a0 Many of the clerics and theologians of his day were disturbed by these events.\u00a0 Wesley had a different opinion.<\/p>\n

I will show you him that was a lion till then and is now a lamb; him that was a drunkard and is now exemplarily sober; the whoremonger that was who now abhors the very \u2018garment spotted by the flesh.\u2019 These are my living arguments for what I assert, namely, \u2018that God does now, as aforetime, give remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Ghost even to us and to our children…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While we live in a cynical world, we need to be mindful of these ‘living arguments’.\u00a0 The reason of man often fails, but we are blessed with change beyond reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
