One of my “pet peeves” as a Christian who tries hard to know his Bible and Theology is what I like to call “Magical Christianity”. What I mean by that term is an extension of what has been termed “magical thinking” into the areas of Theology and Christian worldview.

This month’s games were all chosen because they are either HEAVILY inspired by or complete ripoffs of other more well-known games. We played Crazy Kong (much like Donkey Kong) Moon Alien Part 2 (much like Galaxian) Pacman Plus (a harder Pacman) Zig Zag (much like Dig Dug) And the scores… Name Crazy Kong (raw) Crazy […]
The start of arcade night year 3! And it be on Talk Like A Pirate Day as well!! ArrrRR!!! Unfortunately, at this point I’m still recovering from bronchitis and Quin came down with a fever. So we warned folks and most stayed away. The few brave ones who came out got to play 2 pirate-themed […]
Punch Balloons are a strange toy in retrospect. But I always loved playing with them as a kid. I guess my mother remembered that, because she bought Quin a couple of them. Here’s a bit of him figuring out the joys that I remember.
Warning: this one has a pretty high cuteness factor. 🙂 I admit that I should have probably trimmed this to make it a bit shorter, but I just couldn’t figure out where to cut it off. I’m a bit of a sucker for my kids, you know. I guess there’s no doubt that Camren really […]
Finally got back to arcade night again! We had a very low turnout, with most of the “regulars” not able to make it. But we did have two first-timers join us, which is always fun. We played Jr. Pacman Robby Roto Star Trek Tutankham And the scores… Name Jr Pacman (raw) Jr Pacman (norm) Robby […]
We did a mini Easter egg hunt for Quin after his nap today. Viv “hid” 6 eggs in the family room. They were all in plain sight, so it was just fun for Quin to walk around and discover the next one. The eggs were all from his Grandma Peterson who is always good for […]
I just can’t seem to get any momentum with my life as unstructured as it has been of late, and I can’t seem to impose the right amount of structure onto myself either. Whatever this says about me and my will power/maturity/self-control, I can’t seem to stick to any kind of dieting/eating plan/exercise regimen while […]
I’m a Christian child of the 80’s.  As such, I had the More Power To Ya album as a teen.  That album had a song titled “Judas’ Kiss” that had an interesting intro.  It was obvious that speech (or something) was being played backwards.  This was a tongue-in-cheek (and backwards) message from the band to the […]
Quin likes to wear a cape and run around the house shouting “Super-Bunny!”. This comes from a toddler cartoon called Max and Ruby (who are rabbits). In a few episodes, Max listens to a Super-Bunny radio show and also pretends while wearing a cape. Quin has a cape also and plays along. If you look […]
