About Me
We have a weekly fellowship in our home, but are not associated with any other group.
Our son, RJ (now going by "Rex"), is now 20. He has just entered the Air Force. As of July 22 he is in basic training. Your prayers are appreciated. He placed very high on his initial aptitude and subsequent test stuff. His contracted job is a high level security clearance thing that we will never know what it is. We are proud of our kid, but it is a new phase of life for us: the empty nest thing. :-)
Update (November, 2011): I wrote the above more than two years ago. Rex is now a cadet at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Nothing to update about Sue and I. We're still the same.

Hi Ken,
Great to hear from you. Glad to hear you and Sue are doing well.
If my memory serves me right, didn't you name your son after your father?
How very nice!
Let's connect sometime. I'd love to talk with you.
Blessings, Mark
Love, Rhoda
When we come to the truth of the Word should we not put aside our experience and look to the Word and words to give us the answers?
To find truth do we not enter this quest looking at “priori knowledge?”
Priori knowledge being knowledge or justification that is independent of experience.
A priori justification makes no reference to experience; it is only concerned with what justifies or grounds one's belief in a given “truth”.
When it comes to Biblical truths ones personal experience can serve as a corrupt advisor.
Is not rightly dividing the scriptures based on reasoned dissection of what is actually written? This being done within the system of the Word interprets itself.
I am no Biblical scholar and am—more than likely—less knowledgeable than all here.
However, do not the principles of gaining understanding of eternal verities demand that we use, at lest, observances and systems of cool logic and practical reasoning?
In secular philosophy, Immanuel Kant contrasted experience with reason: "Nothing, indeed, can be more harmful or more unworthy of the philosopher, than the vulgar appeal to so-called experience. Such experience would never have existed at all, if at the proper time, those institutions had been established in accordance with ideas.
Best,
B
