		<title>Integrating Two Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of a job application I have to write a philosophy statement of faith and learning.
Goofing off, I wrote this:
Education without faith is dead. For degrees will pass, classes will cease, and intellectual stimulation is not the be-all and end-all of life. Faith calls us to an eternal experience that supersedes all education, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does God Talk to Us?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is particularly relevant to me.
R and I asked God for an answer as to whether we should apply for this job that is at my alma mater. I had a long conversation in my head with God in which he said no. However, in the past, long conversations with God have primarily been my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unpublished</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my chapters was supposed to be published this summer. But the press appears to be folding. So that&#8217;s not going to happen. I went to a conference and heard of a new press, know another press that is soliciting, and looked up university presses that publish in the topic area and that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a strong believer in the second amendment. I like guns. I think everyone who is not mentally deficient or a criminal and is over 18 (or possibly 21) should own one, at least.
American Daughter has an interesting post on the differences between US gun ownership and Swiss gun ownership. The Swiss come out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Benign Delusions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I often have very different recollections of events. And not just the little details. Sometimes our shared memories don&#8217;t even feature the same mammals, themes, or points. The scary part is that we don&#8217;t realize these differences until we have some reason to compare memories, which doesn&#8217;t come up that often. Every [...]]]></description>

		<title>John S is dying.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John is in the hospital right now. Nancy took him this morning because he wasn&#8217;t feeling well yesterday. He had a heart attack in the doctor&#8217;s office. He has some kind of infection they can&#8217;t find. He has coded four times. His liver and kidneys are failing.
I know that God has some fishing gear and [...]]]></description>

		<title>AI Killed by Creator? Is that really what this says?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it true?
It was here, half a dozen years ago, that Cope put Emmy to sleep. She was just a software program, a jumble of code he’d originally dubbed Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI, hence “Emmy”). Still — though Cope struggles not to anthropomorphize her — he speaks of Emmy wistfully, as if she were [...]]]></description>
