exactly. - RandyThomas

"Thanks Trent. I'd be interested to hear what you ultimately decide. I do pray for PFOX to be led and blessed of the Lord." - RandyThomas

"Ellie, my database on this end says that all the comments are here connected to this post but they aren't showing up in Disqus yet. They might show up eventually OR they might be completely disconnected because the date on this post is a year and a half later than the dates on the comments... I don't really know what I am talking about so I hope at some point the Disqus system will synch them into their side so they show up here too. We shall see." - RandyThomas

"I look for both the picture and the old post. It isn't currently up but I have the back up of the original blog to pull from. I can't remember, did you both have the conversation in the comments on that post or privately? It might be a trick to install the comments too. I can try :). But not tonight. I am pooped." - RandyThomas

"AWESOME... Yes! I have a drawing that was inspired by the movie Constantine and part of it is my little abstract rendition of hell based on Lewis' description in "The Great Divorce." NOT kidding... if I can find the .jpg of it I will put it up. I thought about trying to organize one of those online meetup type of thing with all my friends at some point. Not that I am any big deal but ... a lot of my online friends met through a bunch of my online shenanigans and I think we could pull it off somehow... Maybe next year around the time we are all in Southern California for the freedom conference? I am planning on staying longer for vacation.... Hmmmm... you wanna help plan something :)?" - RandyThomas

"...Halloween is of course the only excuse adults have for doing so. That's true but it would be fun to think of other reasons to do so. Masquerade ball? ... themed parties? That could be a lot of fun. Very good examples of dark art. I also like the demon baby in Gibsons "The Passion." Do you remember that scene? Gives me chills to think of it ... scared the crap out of me. Also, there was a horror flick called "Event Horizon" that literally scared the hell out of me. I don't know why I watched it but I am almost 100% convinced that the literal "Hell" is a black hole at the point of the singularity where all the laws of physics give way to the absolute definition of chaos. I recommend seeing the Passion (full of dark dark imagery but leads to the resurrection) but I do not recommend seeing Event Horizon... Just take my word for it." - RandyThomas

"Yeah, that's where I have ended up Don. It's a "personal conviction" issue. I know Christians who forbid any acknowledgement of it and some who let their kids dress up in positive or biblical costumes but they all agree that the pagan history and in some cases current rituals, should be renounced and that kids should be taught the proper way to view the meaning of that day. For some of my friends who are parents, they have done a fantastic job of teaching their kids the meaning of being light in darkness and combatting evil by talking about what Halloween is and what they do instead." - RandyThomas

"Sure, in the context that the darkness reveals the light of Christ. Well what about the darkness that doesn't reveal the light of Christ? Isn't it biblical that there will be a prevailing darkness that carries many outside of the presence of Christ's light for eternity? Do we have a reason to warn of that evil? ... to expose it for what it is? I am not saying to not point to Christ at all times but I see Christian after Christian who refuse to acknowledge the true nature of darkness and evil outside of slogans and cartoon characters. I have a friend who is going through a hellacious season in his drawings. DARK DARK stuff and yes he is having to process that information with godly counsel but he keeps wanting to go back to the drawings and bring some redemptive element to them and I keep questioning ... why? Let the picture stand. SURE do a follow up to it that continues the story but sometimes some snapshots reflect a very dark reality worth considering and discussing. I am not..." - RandyThomas

"Sure thing. Thank you Vicki. There are religious liberty concerns across the board but the same issue we could possibly face as people on a post-gay journey fall under that heading. We don't need protected class status ... in my humble opinion of course. :)" - RandyThomas

"I would assume that the shareholder is doing this because they are trying to protect people on a post-gay journey. This is the way gay activism has worked in the workplace so it probably seemed like that was the only option. I don't know the shareholder so I could just be talking out my ear about it but that is my assumption as to the why. But regardless, my concerns are based on the action/consequences and not the motivation." - RandyThomas

"Good, I am glad to find others in agreement. I love Regina personally and I think they and this shareholder have good hearts but I just ... well, I think my post adequately shares my concerns." - RandyThomas

"yeah, I know. It's one of my quirks. I TRY to get into chats...have ever since '93 and I just ... don't like it as a communication medium. Not sure why... You are definitely on the list for an invite but like I alluded too, right now, it's quite ok to wait a while." - RandyThomas

"Sure!" - RandyThomas

"Thank you for the encouragement. I am remembering how much better I feel when I do work out. I hear that an arctic front will be here and make the highs this weekend in the upper 70's ;-) yes, be glad you don't have Krystals. :)" - RandyThomas

"Oh and I now have about 8 contacts. I gave my first invites to co-workers and some of my geeky friends got their own invites. Would you like one? I already had you on the list about mid-way down :)" - RandyThomas

"Well, I can see that but I don't see Wave as a chat client. I hate chat in any form so I don't see me using it for that. But today, I used it with a co-worker to collaborate on a document and the live thing was awesome. We were on the phone talking and editing at the same time... SO much easier. It's aggravating to me in that it is a pretty huge learning curve and a lot of the bells and whistles aren't automated yet. It's also having command line to server communication problems (my uneducated guess.) BUT ... that's to be expected in a limited preview. That's what people sign up for when we request and early invite. It isn't released to the public yet so I have to tell myself to hold my horses ... it IS cutting edge but we are some of the first to work out the kinks. So, while it is a pain in the neck on a couple of levels... I honestly do see it being an email, conference (call and video chat), collaborative writing and dialog, file storage, file sharing and much much more HUGE..." - RandyThomas

"I have a long list of co-workers and friends to send to first. By the time I get to ya' it will probably be public. Even so, I will add you to the very long list. Don't forget to sign up for it through the wave website. That's how I got mine http://wave.google.com" - RandyThomas

"I am not sure what I am testing either. :) It's a WHOLE new thing." - RandyThomas

"HI bigguy... I already sent out all of my first round of invites (8 people) and have a pretty long list but will keep you in mind." - RandyThomas

"Spread 90 days over 120... that's funny... and so relatable. :). I work out in the evenings so ... ain't gonna help you there. I am playing around with Google Wave right now... maybe I can start an exercise wave :)." - RandyThomas

"Great Robb. My issue is I can work out till I am blue in the face, lift a car, do cardio for days... but I just really really like to eat. It's my body type AND appetite. I know what I need to do... I just gotta' do it cause every year I get older it doesn't get any easier." - RandyThomas

"Sounds like good exercise but I hate stepper/stair climbers about as badly as Kate hates the elliptical machine." - RandyThomas

"Nope. I am a diet-cokehead. I think it might be all the ice cream? ::: shrug shoulders ::: Thanks for sharing your exercise routine. I can't afford Mr. Hollywood right now. He's awesome but ... money is tight. Especially after Gigantor. A walk in the desert sounds nice ... once. :)" - RandyThomas

"Oh you know that's right ... pewww! A stinky one too." - RandyThomas

"Just cast out the demon of Krystals Trent... cause there is one ... right?" - RandyThomas

"Srsly Don... that is SO true! WAHHHA!" - RandyThomas
