  • Zen and the Art of Control Freaking

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on August 5, 2006

    Sometimes God teaches us through circumstance. For instance, he might govern things so that as we read through the Bible, we come to a certain passage at the opportune time, so that it corresponds with other circumstances around us that serve to illustrate a theological lesson. [Read More]

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on July 29, 2006

    I’ve been asked by the pastor of a very small congregation to lead worship place of my Dad tomorrow morning, because he’s driving my Mom to Henderson to see Gayle Erwin teach (lucky…). [Read More]

  • Bonus Baseball in San Francisco

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on July 23, 2006

    I don’t know if any of you know this, but I’m a Padres fan. Born and bred in sunny San Diego, California, I grew up listening to games on the radio, watching them on TV, and even going to games with my family. I even have some souvenirs! The bat... [Read More]

  • Giving Is a Party

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on July 23, 2006

    Kent Hughes may be a gifted teacher, but there are things to disagree with him about. One issue troubled me recently when I was reading his chapter on giving in Disciplines of a Godly Man. First, I’d like to say that I know that I give less than I should.... [Read More]

  • Un-Delling Your Dell

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on July 14, 2006

    Just thought I should follow up on the computer upgrade progress, for those who seemed to be interested in what I was doing with it last year. As I mentioned in my MySpace blog a couple of months ago, I had to replace the motherboard in my computer. I replaced... [Read More]

  • Wisdom Teeth, or My Mouth Hurts Really Bad

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on July 14, 2006

    Well, I got my lower wisdom teeth removed yesterday. It hurts so bad!!! I had totally been looking forward to having the day off from work (I don’t get many of those), but I don’t think the trade-off is worth all the pain! I’d much rather be performing monthly maintenance... [Read More]

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on December 20, 2005

    Anyone who’s seen me driving in my truck knows that I often like to leave the tailgate down when I’m driving. My friends used to think I was crazy because of this. Well, they were right. [Read More]

  • Update…

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on December 17, 2005

    So, I’m sorry I haven’t updated this blog in such a long time (although I have posted a couple entries on my MySpace). I’m finding that the MovableType platform doesn’t really meet my needs the way it’s set up, so I’m going to be working on programming my own blog... [Read More]

  • The Discipline of Disillusionment

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on October 23, 2005

    The church is a body made up of people. My mom once said to me, tongue-in-cheek, “Church would be perfect if it weren’t for the people.” But if you didn’t have people, you wouldn’t have the church. How do we reconcile the need to function as a viable part of... [Read More]

  • Reconciling Hurricane Katrina with God’s Providence

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on September 5, 2005

    Like many people, I’ve been blown away by the magnitude of what happened a week ago on the gulf coast. I have been hesitant to put up links to donate to charities because I’m broke at the moment and unable to give myself, and I’d rather lead by example. But... [Read More]
