To Lewis Jones and the other people who read this blog. I have an account at HWY Blogs that I've been using instead of this one. HWY Blogs is geared toward truck drivers and their associates, so it seems to work out better for us. BTW, Lewis, I found your blog very interesting. If I wasn't so successful as a truck driver (yeah, right!) I might want to be a park ranger, too. Also, you don't have

(Note to self: Create blog post as Word document first, and then copy it to the website.)I just posted to the blog, and when I went to publish it, I got that ugly little error page. Needless to say, when I went back to republish it, the post was gone. So, I intend to start creating each post offline so I don’t lose everything if there’s a problem publishing. Well, to bring things up to date:

We drove up to Springfield, MA to pick up a shipment yesterday (4/18). It ended up being 5200 lbs., which was a little less than the estimate, but it's okay for a start. We drove back down to Milldale, CT since there weren't any truckstops near Springfield. Karen called our dispatcher to find out if they had anything else to add to this load, but he was still looking. So, in a way I hope we don't

I got the new profile picture uploaded. The first attempt was with a 50.7 K jpeg. I guess the limit is 50 K so I made another that was a little smaller. Picture credits: James Bowser. Picture location: Niagara Falls, Ontario (Canada).

Last night I discovered podcasting. I've downloaded a lot of files from the internet before, so when I read a description of how podcasting works, I thought, okay, you have file downloading attached to RSS feeds. What could be so special about that? Well, I downloaded a program called "iPodder", and it made me into a believer. It is so easy to find files and there are so many files available for

I made a reference in a previous blog to the parable of the sheep and the goats. I browsed a few online commentaries with the intention of studying the views presented, commenting on them, and then presented my ideas. However, it became clear that, although there were some things that most commentators agreed on, there were many differences, and it would take a long time to analyze every point of

In my wanderings today, I found:http://www.seejesuschrist.net.This site has tons of Universal Salvation links. One great link is:http://www.tentmaker.org/books/150reasons.htmlThe search continues...

I did a little recon around the blogosphere, specifically the "blogspot.com" galaxy in which I reside, and found several blogs related to Universal Salvation. I particularly liked this one: http://gracethroughjesus.blogspot.com/2005/04/can-god-still-be-good-if.htmlThe author is Tom Reindl, and he talks about God's goodness and the existence of Hell. The question is, if God is truly good, can Hell

As you can see, I've been posting pictures of a Hershey bar. Why am I doing this, you ask? Good question. I wanted to use it for my profile. I've encountered a glitch, though. When I go to view the complete profile, the left column, the one with the picture, doesn't want to be next to the right column, so it slides itself all the way to the bottom. I tried altering the jpg dimensions, but still

These are some photos I took yesterday. The first one shows the view from the side that faces the highway. I took this picture so you could see the trucks and that cool looking brick building in the back. The trucks and the 4-wheelers park on opposite sides of the main building. According to the Petro website, this truckstop has 380 truck parking spaces. I don't know if this is true- I haven't

This is the view from the entrance for "4 wheelers" (smaller vehicles).

I got the website updated with the new article and a link to this blog. Both links appear on the final page. (Please visit the website by clicking the Hesed Unlimited link on the sidebar.) I had to have some breakfast first, though. After breakfast I borrowed the camera from Karen to take some pictures around the truckstop. I may post a few of them later. This place has really become home to us-

We're still here in Carlisle, PA waiting for something to haul. I've used the time to do a lot of stuff. This blog now includes trackback (from HaloScan.com. This is a great free service, and for people using Blogger it will make the changes automatically- it's very easy to use...), so anyone who quotes me can let me know. Righton! I also added a link to my own website on the sidebar. Cool logo,

Well, I started out trying to get a picture on the right margin of this blog. After wandering around in the settings area, I found a link to Google's picture hosting service called "Hello". It made me download their software and use their blog-bot, which I figured out after a little trial and error. So I was able to post a photo on my blog (which you can see below if it hasn't been archived yet),

Alrighty then, here's my first post of a series I'd like to call "Common Christian Misconceptions". Today I heard a phrase that is repeated so often and usually elicits many a hearty "Amen"! It goes like this:"You are either a child of God, or you are a child of the Devil!"Oh, really? It's a pity that so many fellow believers have bought into the "us vs. them" mindset that allows ideas like this
