Thanks to all of you who humor me on a regular, or not so regular for that matter, basis my blog reached 10,000 hits today. Of course that is transferred over from my old site, and I know that a huge majority of those are accidental clicks, but still, I appreciate all of you that take time to read my thoughts.

A Homily on Numbers 13 &14 - Introduction
In this passage the children of Israel, stand on the threshold of receiving the promised land. YHWH has brought them up out of the land of Egypt and through the Red Sea to His Holy Mountain, where he has made a covenant with them and promised to be with them and to give them a land, driving out their enemies. He has brought them into the wilderness of Paran and now Moses, at the command of YHWH is sending out a delegation of spies from each of the twelve tribes to spy out the land, and to bring back a report. We enter the story as the spies are sent. Continue Reading…

I doubt all of these, but just for fun…
The rumors of a touchscreen laptop are tantalizing. I wonder how much the price of the current models will drop after whatever Jobs unveils today. The Keynote address is in process right now and MacRumors is live-blogging it. Stay tuned.

I decided it was about time to go ahead and move my blog over to what I hope will prove to be a better provider with a cleaner look. Although at the moment I’ve still got my doubts. As I type this Safari is giving me a pop-up warning about every 10-30 seconds informing me that a script on this page is causing ‘Safari to be unresponsive,’ and whether I click ‘continue’ or ’stop’ seems to make no difference.
Also, I’m not at all excited about the fact that it seems that if I want to place a picture larger than a thumbnail on my blog I have to first upload it to a third party host like Flickr and then link from there.
Finally, I really wanted to get rid of the bullets to the right in front of my ‘Links’ categories and although I found the script that should have done it I cannot make it work, and I also can’t seem to figure out how to manually order the ‘List’ categories (I’d like to have my Blogroll at the top). So, I’m definitely not entirely sold yet, but I’m still learning about Blogsome (which seems to be a WordPress clone or something) and trying not to make judgments to hastily. If worse comes to worse, I may just move over to WordPress, although I’m not sure I can import all of this site’s formatting and it has been more than a bit of a hassle setting this up.
Speaking of formatting, the links will be filled out a bit more over the coming days, and I may make a few more minor changes here and there.
