Looking for a laptop... There are so many options out there. I thought it would be cheaper in Korea, but it does not seem to be. I have not visited Yongsang market in Seoul yet, but I have been to several places in Daejeon. It seems that while desktops and all things built in korea are quiet a bit cheaper, laptops are not. Plus the selection is very limited. So I am looking online, and praying that customs are not to high.

Of course it doens't help that what I want in a laptop seems to put the price close or just over 3000 canadian.
just in case anyone reads this who knows anything about laptops, here goes:
15.1-15.4 screen, 2.6 or higher processor, 512-1024 ram (expandable to 2G), 60-80gb harddrive (5400-7200rpm), dvd burner (multi format), 128mb video card (not real picky about model or brand), and normal accessories (mouse, extrabattery, carryign case).

I wish there was a site you could enter the specs you wanted, the site would give you your options, with prices and specs, and you could just pick one.... if only life were that easy. Instead you have to go from one site to another (dell, alienware, sager, acer, etc. etc.) trying to remember everything. Weeee :)

Forgiveness: A Hard Word From Luther

-
"Those who follow Christ grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves. And they do this that they may recall those offenders from their sin rather than avenge the wrongs they themselves have suffered. Therefore they put off the form of their own righteousness and put on the form of those others, praying for their persecutors, blessing those who curse, doing good to the evil-doers, preparing to pay the penalty and make satisfaction for their very enemies that they may be saved. This is the gospel and the example of Christ." - Martin Luther (Quoted by Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge, pg. 161-162)

A Good Tree Bears Good Fruit....

"Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:17-18 "One of the most powerful ways to influence the behavior of a system is through its purpose or goal. That's because the goal is the direction-setter of the system, the definer of discrepancies that require action, the indicator of compliance, failure, or success toward which balancing feedback loops work. If the goal is defined badly, if it doesn't measure what it's supposed to measure, if it doesn't reflect the real welfare of the system, then the system can't possibly produce a desirable result. Systems, like the three wishes in the traditional fairy tale, have a terrible tendency to produce exactly and only what you ask them to produce. Be careful what you ask them to produce." - Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems.

A Gracious Reading of Rob Bell

-
The Journey So Far The controversy rages on over Rob Bell's upcoming new book. No matter what happens now, this controversy has effectively guaranteed that 'everyone who is anyone' will need to read this book. Either to find out what is wrong and bash it, or because someone we generally disagree with also disagrees with the book so it has to be good stuff! Then, because 'everyone' is reading it, people like me will 'have to' read it to. After all, I am a pastor, and if many of my people are reading and being influenced by a book, don't I need to know what is going on as well?  Or so the reasoning will go... and perhaps I will read it, who knows. In the meantime, none of this will stop me from continuing to join this fray which I probably ought to have stayed out of in the first place. Onwards, Christian... :) The Latest Salvo The latest salvo has been fired by DeYoung  claiming that not only do we not need to talk with Bell but, more importantly, it...
