After Atheism: New Perspectives on God and Religion
When I work from home I often listen to podcasts and I’ve been listening to CBC Radio Ideas’ After Atheism this week.

Sim Racing Ergonomics
I love sim racing but it’s been aggravating some sore points on my body and causing me to miss out on what I love doing. So, I put together my thoughts so far about sim racing comfort to help me, hopefully others, keep on enjoying the sim racing we love.
Nitty Gritty: From Mayhem to Ministry. A Testimony.
I play guitar with my church and, each week, I need to go online to find song chords. While searching this week, I came across this website, Musings of a Minister’s Wife, after some Google results turned up guitar chords for her ebook of chord sheets. My curiosity was piqued by the domain name “musingsofaministerswife.com.”…
