Sitting here at the Townsend Street Market grabbing one of their fabulous “pepper steak, peppers, onion, cheese” subs. Hot, delicious and fresh…

Oh, how we strive for perfection! And how we fall short …
Since February, I’ve been snatching an hour here, an hour there… transforming my “office” into a true study – “A Country Deacon’s Study”. My vision is one of a space with my books and reference materials close at hand. The hand written Book of [...]

Even with the government mandated change to digital high-definition television broadcasting, the radio signal spectrum will be more populated than ever, as cell, Wi-Fi and countless other radio frequency technologies vie [...]

OK, so it began as a bit of a lark: gasoline was hovering near $4.00/gal. and living in rural upstate New York–well, I drive a lot. I wondered: “Can I improve my gas mileage a bit?”. I’ve been driving a “vintage” 2001 Hyundai Accent GL, 3-door hatchback for two years. [...]

After reading the Thursday, April 10th article in the Evening Sun about the burglary and vandalism at the Jewish Center, I wondered “what is wrong here; why the hate”? At about the same time that the City of Norwich Police was investigating the crime scene with assistance by the State Police, 40 miles to [...]

When I first started posting to Gospel Hill Posts in January 2007, I wrote, “My goal: to have Gospel Hill Posts running right here on Gospel Hill before Year 3 in the Deacon Formation Program is over!” Well, that hasn’t happened. Why?

It was bound to happen…
One day I was using my Palm T|X, the next I was volunteering to train our Instructional Services group on some of the “in’s and out’s” of pushing the envelope with a PDA. Why?
Well, over the past 2 and 1/2 years my Palm has become that “itty-bitty” laptop replacement that has [...]
