Things have been rather quiet here on The GeoChristian lately, but people from around the world have still been finding things to read. Here are the most-read posts in 2013 (a number of which were written before 2013): #10 -- A young-Earth creationist magmatic model for the origin of evaporites -- This is my preliminary analysis …

50 things I am thankful for
Here is a brief list of things that I have been blessed with in my first fifty years of life. Many of these items could themselves be expanded to lists of hundreds of things to be thankful to God for. God's grace expressed to me in and through Jesus Christ. My beautiful wife. We've been …
Still alive
Though my presence on the internet has been rather meager since November---and entirely absent since March---I am still alive and kicking. My primary excuses are (1) I've gone from not working to working long days plus Saturdays, and (2) being down to one computer in the household. Thank you to those of you who have …
New job, new state
It has been a rather long break from blogging, but I am back at it. I moved from Colorado to Missouri in mid-November, but the family didn't make the move until just before Christmas. We just got internet in the home today. I applied for close to 400 jobs over a stretch of 18 months. …
Blog break
I'll soon be moving to a new state and a new job, so I won't be doing much blogging for perhaps a month or more. The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will …
Job search update
A few of you have asked how the job search is going. Well... it is still going. I still have a tentative offer from my former employer from before I went overseas to teach. This would be an excellent position (interesting work, great pay and benefits), but the hiring process is excruciatingly long. Until it …
Hike — Deer Creek Canyon
The family took a hike in Deer Creek Canyon, at the southwest corner of the Denver metro area last week. This was before it turned cold and rainy/snowy. The trail has a mixture of grassland, scrub brush, and forest (Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, scrub oak, aspen, and others). Click on images to enlarge. Grace and …
Obama’s education speech
I'm rather embarrassed by the reaction many conservatives have had to the upcoming Obama address to students in America's schools. The topic will be the importance of education, and giving a speech like this is a very fitting role for the president of the United States. Read pastor John Piper's perspective: I am stunned at …
Four Teens
As of today, we have four teenagers in the family. Our youngest turned 13 today; our oldest will be 20 in six weeks. Having teenagers in the house has been a blessing in many ways. I have enjoyed the maturing relationships I have with each one, and seeing them grow in Christ. Grace and Peace
Updates: job search, upcoming posts
There is nothing new on the job search. I am seeking employment as either a geoscience or geospatial professional (or both combined in one position). As I told one of my daughters a few months ago: "I've found plenty of jobs; they just haven't found me." Click here for a brief resume, or go to …
Updates: job search, unemployment activities, comments (Is God a malevolent bioterrorist?)
I'm still plugging away on the job search. I know that I am competing against 50 to 100 people (or more) for many of the positions I have applied for. My lovely wife tells me that I should feel pretty good about being a finalist for a number of these positions. Yes, but I'd sure …

Third anniversary of The GeoChristian
The first post of The GeoChristian was on March 16, 2006. At first I called the blog The Earth is not Flat, but later changed the name to The GeoChristian. The name GeoChristian indicates two important things about me. The first is my Christian faith, which is a core part of who I am. The …
Conversations
I've had a couple of posts that have generated a number of good comments and questions in recent weeks: All truth is God's truth Mixed marriages and the age of the Earth I've found the dialog to be helpful. Grace and Peace
Letter from Birmingham Jail
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day here in the United States, a day to honor the slain civil rights leader, to celebrate how far we have come, and to reflect on how far we still have to go as a nation. Here's some suggested reading: "Letter from Birmingham jail." It is a succinct overview …
Piano or video games?
I’ll ask some more easy questions: Would you rather have your child play the piano or play video games? Which will be more valuable for the child? Which will be more valuable for the world? From Asia Times: China’s six-to-one advantage over the US: Thirty-six million Chinese children study piano today, compared to only 6 …
