Friday Geek Christmas Gifts Nov. 5th

There are 50 shopping days left 'til Christmas! [CHECK IT HERE!] As a Christian I really like Christmas, pagan roots or not, it's my favorite holiday. Because of that, Fire & Grace is going to become "Gift Idea Central"!

Each Friday, from now until Saint Nick shoves his flabby posterior down your chimney, I am going to suggest suitable gifts for men, woman, couples, children of every age and maybe even pets.

Each one will be scripturally suitable, a distraction from the brumal days - and geek approved.

USB Rocket Launcher: Defend your office or cubicle with a computer-controlled USB Missile Launcher (USB Powered Air Darts). The USB Missile Launcher is the Ultimate Desk Toy and stress reducer - fully "geek" approved!

2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

I'm Bloggin this T-Shirt: Get the message out and let your non-virtual friends know your passion for obnoxious Internet blather!



Jeremiah 36:2 Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken.




USB Fiber Optic Christmas Tree: If the weather outside is frightful, shut the blinds, crawl into your computer cave, and bask in the festive glow of the USB Fiber Optic Christmas Tree.

Romans 11:16 Behind and underneath all this there is a holy, God-planted, God-tended root. If the primary root of the tree is holy, there's bound to be some holy fruit.

USB Turntable: The first USB turntable that lets you convert your old vinyl collection directly to CD or MP3, the Ion Audio iTTUSB is a must for people who don't want to deal with clumsy adapters or mismatched software when transferring formats. A trial version of Bias Soundsoap 2 to clean and restore vinyl recordings. Once connected, the turntable transfers both 33-1/3 rpm albums and 45 rpm singles to digital formats in mere minutes.

Esther 9:1b On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned.

How about you, is their a geek in your life?

Your Esther link paired with the USB turntable (which actually IS rather cool) is way too funny!

Oh I want the Rocket Launcher and I'm not even a geek! I think it might come in handy when I get a new job.

Mad Libs: An Unforgettable Church Service

Hopefully you have heard of Mad Libs (R) ! They are stories that you blindly fill in the blanks for articles of grammar and then read the completed story. Since I was a kid, these have always been a hoot. I decided to make up my own. Just fill in the blanks next time you are at small group and then read it back. It is sure to shake up a few religious spirits. An Unforgettable Church Service We arrived at _________ ( time of day ) at the Church of the Holy _________ ( noun ).

God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy

There was a discussion on Facebook today about how some people think Christians are "whack jobs." Regardless, God is still great. I don't really know much about beer. I haven't had one in just about 30 years. There are a lot of folks that consider themselves to be Christian. Some because they do good, and others because they have faith in God or are born again-- and others because they grew up in a Christian denomination. Far be it from me to decide who is in, and who is out. Some say we'll be surprised at who is going to be there, and others say who think they are in will be surprised when they are rejected at the Pearly Gates. Hmmm... But let's say you are a real Christian who is feeling passionate about doing something for God. You know something beyond throwing a few bucks in the offering plate and trying to be a good person. The church calls it service or ministry, which could include such things as: reading scriptures on Sunday morning, planning a harves...

Political Tuesdays - The Taxation Question

I have written on political topics in the past. And with the upcoming electons, I thought I would dedicate Tuesdays to some political ranting and Johndrow-esque, "think for myself" politics. Most will not be based on any specific Christian belief or doctrine unless it applies. As an American I find myself stunned, over and over; like fish in the reach of the tenticles of a man-o-war, at political solutions to human and spiritual problems. I live in Masschusetts, and we are the most liberal state in the US. We were first in gay marriage, we were first in mandatory healthcare, we have rejected mandatory sentencing for repeat and sex offenders, we are ahead of the Global Warming curve, we have high taxes ( on average 10% ), we are split on casino gambleing only because we've missed the boat (if doesn't create jobs, it's a political flop), and well John Kerry and Ted Kennedy were our sentaors for many years (Kerry still is). The last time we went red for president...
