		<title>the shame of losing foucault</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I began my doctorate at Cardiff University with the thought that Michel Foucault was still interesting to read after all these years. I had begun to purchase the lectures when they were translated into English in 2003 or so. They reminded me of the struggle to annunciate thoughts, the difficulty of saying something that changed [...]]]></description>

		<title>dualism again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am constantly bumping into references to science that force being scientific into the material/spiritual dualism I have begun to reject. But on that account, I really must define what it is that I think the real world is made up of. As I have said before elsewhere, John A. Wheeler&#8217;s quip that &#8220;it comes [...]]]></description>

		<title>why did I look at my blog?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I clicked the link to my blog hoping to find something new there. I thought, dang it, this is not Twitter where something surprising may turn up. This is my blog. If something new is going to turn up it will have to be me that does it. I&#8217;m leaving now.

		<title>a string of debacles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I wonder if what I do at AGWM Communications is worth what they pay me for. We bought a new barebones computer to build for development here. When I had it all built and tested it, it wouldn&#8217;t come up. So after talking to Shuttle tech support, I bought another processor and memory, swapped [...]]]></description>

		<title>i broke my glasses today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The screen I am looking at is fuzzy because I am looking through glasses that were too weak for me four years ago. I rubbed the best and longest lasting glasses on my shirt today and the connecter between the two lenses broke. Tape didn&#8217;t help. Where is Hermione when I need &#8220;occulous reparo.&#8221; It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it possible to derive democracy from the Bible? If it is, then it should be easy enough to permit freedom in others that doesn&#8217;t impinge either on my freedom, or on the stability of society. If it isn&#8217;t possible, then why should Christians move toward its defense? Or, laterally, is every effort to &#8220;Christianize&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>great nephews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I now have two great nephews on the east coast on my family&#8217;s side. On my wife&#8217;s side, I have a huge pile of great nephews and great nieces. But shortly I will upload a couple pics of Owen, the son of my nephew Chris and his wife Bronwyn, and Finley the son of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>hard to believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m almost relaxing now. Last year in the beginning of January, I realized that my old web host, CIHost was suffering terminal invasion. My own website olena.com had been hacked and was spewing out spam, etc. OK. Stuff happens. So, tired of being in my own dedicated server, and tired of being the last to [...]]]></description>

		<title>an old rant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may or may not be surprised to know that the insular character of modern conservative church life is one of the chief reasons people reject the gospel. If you are really interested in helping people find Christ you will expand your borders beyond the default comfort zone. As Isaiah said, &#8220;Woe to you who [...]]]></description>
