Image of God

Jesus is the image of God, writes Paul. What can that mean for us? We have no photographs of Jesus, no portraits were drawn or painted while He lived on earth. Why could Paul have not simply said that Jesus “is the invisible God?” Is an image something less than the real? Is Jesus something less than God?

Google Chrome Browser: Remember Window Size & Position

Image
Google Chrome Browser: Remember Window Size & Position Google Chrome would not remember the window size and position , running under Windows 7. Searching the internet offered many solutions, some weird, some confusing, none effective. Not even Google's own help site offered a solution. It must be me. I cannot believe that Google would be so unhelpful. Taking a portion of one user's advice, and adding a bit extra from another user's suggestion, brought relief. Now I can resize my browser window and place it anywhere on the desktop, close the browser, restart, and it reappears where I last had it, correctly sized. Here's what I did: 1. My version of Chrome: 22.0.1229.79 m 2. Click on the settings icon ( a button with three, short horizontal bars, or perhaps yours is an image of a wrench. 3. Click on About Google Chrome (this is where you can also find what version of Chrome you're running) 4. Chrome will quickly check to see if your version i...

Honest Information

Honest Information I'm outraged by erroneous, reckless and manipulated conclusions based upon faulty research. I've just finished reading an article that describes such blatant disregard for science . The article dissects a recent conclusion reached by a study entitled The comparative safety of legal induced abortion and childbirth in the United States , by Elizabeth G. Raymond, MD, MPH and David A. Grimes, MD. Their conclusion: "Legal induced abortion is markedly safer than childbirth." However, the study appears riddled with errors. The study was based upon data reported by abortion clinics to state health departments and compiled by the Centers for Disease Control. This data is far from adequate for such a sweeping generalization or conclusion . Abortion reporting is not required by federal law Many states do not report abortion-related deaths to the CDC Deaths due to medical and surgical treatments are not reported as "due to treatment...

The Frazer Wambeke Trio

The Frazer Wambeke Trio Great local jazz/blues/rock group! Frazer Wambeke (Piano/Guitar/Vocals) Juan Hernandez (Electric and Upright Bass) Derek Munson (Drums and Percussion) I've heard their jazz and blues, gospel and worship, and I've enjoyed it all. Innovative, high-level technique, tremendous emotion, fun riffs, great sound . Here's a brief bio from their website: "This group plays original songs, improvises, and also takes jazz standards and turns them upside-down, frequently using odd meters, alternate chord structures, and funky grooves (among other things). "We are well-versed in the styles of swing, latin, fusion, funk, R&B, blues, rock, and more. We incorporate our diverse backgrounds into each piece, helping to make everything we play original and distinct with our our personal signatures. It is this combination of our individual tastes compiled into one cohesive group that makes us stand apart." They've just re...
