Like a shooting star but gripping the earth, I hurtle into the darkness. The roaring, crunching, screaming of plastic on ice beneath me melds into the experience of sheer speed. With my face only inches from the snow-coated pavement, in this moment there is nothing in the cosmos but my child-sized sled, the wind tearing [...]

You’re looking at a very merry Christmas gift from my lovely, sweet wife (the NEW meaning for LSW!)…foolishsage.com…my own domain! Much thanks to the multi-talented Geof Morris (KOS: Keeper of the Server) for helping her pull off this engineering feat, which went into effect 7 p.m. Christmas Eve, just in time for Karyn to unveil [...]

I’ve been involved in some discussion elewhere concerning the strong links the movie version of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe made between the battle in Narnia and the World War II London situation that the Pevensee children were fleeing.
I rather enjoyed the connection to the earthly war. At first, I was afraid they [...]

I say when you want to understand the draw of sin…and its wages…you can’t do better than Calvin.

I’m pleased to announce the Grand Opening this week of the all new Westminster Bookstore Web Store. As with any new venture, we’re still working out some kinks, but we’re very excited about the new levels of user-friendliness and customer service we’ll be able to provide.
Among the improvements are…

Password-protected customer accounts that permanently store your [...]
