The Kids Question | Justin Scott

http://justinis.com/the-kids-question

A journal of ideas. October 6, 2012. Had just finished playing the postlude for my church’s morning service when Katie approached me and stared at the piano. I am not sure how old Katie is. She is somewhere between talking and the first grade. I hope that helps. Trying to be as helpful as possible, I sat her up on the bench and told her the piano was ready. I played a few notes to demonstrate. She did not play. I want you to go away. Of course. I apologized and left as quickly as I could. This is curious...

A New Way to Hope | Justin Scott

http://justinis.com/a-new-way-to-hope

A journal of ideas. February 16, 2015. A New Way to Hope. Rethinking scripture’s violent portrayals of God. F you join me for a church service on July twelfth of this year, you will hear an Old Testament story about the Ark of the Covenant. Liturgical churches like the one my wife and I attend follow the Revised Common Lectionary: a book which specifies scripture passages to be read each Sunday. The reading for July 12, 2015 is II Samuel 6:1-5. Uzzah’s destruction is far from the only troubling story the...

ELECTRIC BLOG: February 2013

http://electricblog.justinis.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

How to Print or Save a List of Directories to a Certain Depth in Windows. A solution for this simple task took me over an hour to find. I needed to print a list of directories on one of my computer's drives. I also needed to recursively print these directories' subdirectories, but only to about 4 levels down. Linux has simple shell commands for this, but I'm running Windows XP. An open-source program called "Tree for Windows" had my solution. You can find it here:. Tree -d -L 4 -o list.txt x:.

Readability and Bugmenot Make Browsing Better.

ELECTRIC BLOG: Google Voice Review

http://electricblog.justinis.com/2011/06/google-voice-review.html

I have been using Google Voice for over a year now and I thought I would share about my experience for those who might be interested in using the service. As for me, Google Voice has been primarily beneficial for my wife Erin's small business. Google Voice provides her a free, local work phone number which forwards to her cell phone. It just makes sense. I'm told Blackberry also has a Google Voice app which allows you to easily make calls from your Google Voice number. June 21, 2011 at 11:14 AM. I love t...

TRAPPED! | Justin Scott

http://justinis.com/trapped

A journal of ideas. May 17, 2013. Have you ever felt trapped by your own ideas? When I was young I was given a framework of beliefs. A worldview, some folks call it. That was helpful, but rigid. This framework was a filter through which I saw the world; it enlarged some things and shrank others. It helped me understand answers to the deepest questions of being: why are we here? What is our purpose? How should we live? Does God create people with no hope of salvation, and send them to everlasting torment?
