Reading for Election Year
Byhenry February 2, 2016
The day after the Iowa caucuses I’m left to wonder how I could have gotten so uninterested in politics.

Why I Believe the Laws of Physics Will Continue Unabated
Byhenry September 9, 2017
It’s hurricane time, as Irma approaches Florida. Note here that I make again the error of many Americans, which is that the hurricane tends to become of interest when it’s arriving at our shores. It has already been quite destructive in a number of places and right now in Cuba. Yet the discussion intensifies, and…

Protecting Doctrinal Turf
Byhenry November 9, 2005
There’s a church I drive by pretty regularly. They have a quite prominent sign, and on the front of their building they have a list of doctrinal positions held by their church. I used to think it was a singularly unwelcoming sort of thing to put on the front of a church. During Hurricane Ivan,…
