I shared this video with my dear friend Johnny Laird on Twitter yesterday and thought it was well worth sharing here on the blog as well.
“I’m a Christian, so I do think he’s wrong… but I do love the challenge.”
Some great points from Dr. West.
“There is a difference between rational certainty and blessed assurance… blessed assurance is making a leap of faith, stepping out on nothing and landing on something.”

We weren’t expecting much snow (if any) this year – but we were pleasantly surprised by a nice covering of snow yesterday afternoon.
Rough estimate, I’d say we received 2-3 inches in our neck of the woods — perhaps more in some areas.
I shot some video of the #snowpocalypse on my Flip Ultra HD and then Laurie also shot some video on her iPhone 4. It was interesting to see the contrast in how each camera handled the white balance.
See for yourself…
Makes me wonder how much longer we’ll keep carrying around video cameras and such alongside our phones…

As another year comes to an end, I must say, I’ve really enjoyed another year of blogging here and elsewhere.
Here’s a look back at the top 10 posts on my blog…
Ustream videos not working? Fixed! – Apparently I wasn’t the only one having this problem. Several sites linking to this post for their users hasn’t hurt it’s popularity either.
How I’m running a G1 on AT&T with Android 2.2 – One of the great advantages to the Android OS is it’s ability to be customized – just like upgrading the first Google phone to the (at the time) latest and greatest OS.
Texas foster care statistics for 2009 – Glad to see this one in the top 3. Hopefully it inspires action.
Caedmon’s Call Raising up the Dead – Initial Thoughts – A review of Caedmon’s Call latest release.
13 great starter apps for Android – Another tech post for fans of the Android OS.
Review: The Sovn Oxygen Pillow – This was a fun process of doing a review of something I knew very little about but was anxious to find out about.
11 Kingdom Bloggers to watch in 2010 – A list of recommended bloggers for 2011. Still stand by the list – a great group of bloggers.
Ways to give aid for Haitian relief – There’s still a need and still ways to help.
1 Timothy 5:8 – How do you read it? – Some thoughts on Mark Driscoll’s hard stance on men and women and working outside the home.
Jesus is a liberal Democrat and Stephen Colbert is a genius – Stephen Colbert at his best — reminding us that “either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition — and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.”
Looks like tech related posts continue to be my most read but I’m glad to see issues like foster care and helping others in Haiti take a prime spot in the top 10 as well.
Perhaps a tech blog should be in the future? Probably not – but still looking forward to seeing what 2011 will bring.
So what was your favorite blog post this year? On my blog or elsewhere?
We have a winner from Monday’s post…
The first comment on Monday’s post was Sabrina.
Congrats! I’ll be sending you a copy of my novel, St. Peter’s Brewery, ASAP.
Thanks for all the great suggestions guys (and gals) they were a huge help!
I’m considering a slight name change for my blog…
From Stranger in a Strange Land to simply “Jonathan D. Blundell” – with Stranger in a Strange Land as the “tag” or “description”…
Can’t decide if it’s more or less confusing.
Thoughts?
