I didn't mean to say that fallenness equals subjectivity. You are also right on having a broad definition of objectivity.<BR/><BR/>My point is that we should not settle for "subjectivity with selflessness," but instead should push for more. We should acknowledge "subjectivity with selflessness" while pursuing objectivity with selflessness.<BR/><BR/>bryBryan and Megganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14377555104226944323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-3881797365875919332009-03-31T08:11:00.000-07:002009-03-31T08:11:00.000-07:00Is subjectivity a result of fallenness? I'm not so sure. Rather, selfishness is a result of fallenness. <BR/><BR/>Objectivity is about more than just ignoring personal preferences or opinions, but also about having all the pertinent information. I don't think we'll know everything even as redeemed people. <BR/><BR/>I think subjectivity with selflessness would serve us well.Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04279379658409014125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-5378709747652135642009-03-30T17:07:00.000-07:002009-03-30T17:07:00.000-07:00Mark will LOVE this!!!<BR/><BR/>I fought this for years trying to explain to Mark that pickles and spaghette were an "unnatural" combo. I have razzed him throughout the years as I obiently make sure there are pickles on the table everytime I serve spaghetti. I told him I would stop making fun of him when he found an Italian restaurant that served pickles with their meals...Believe it or not, our neighborhood Italian Restaurant puts sliced pickles on their salads!!!! Albeit the pickles are not served as a side dish but rather a garnish,still, I must concede and give him his props. <BR/><BR/>So now, everytime I get the urge to comment as I place the pickles next to his plate of spaghetti, I simply shove a pickle in my mouth. ;)<BR/><BR/>IvahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-55212868518759248682009-03-23T19:50:00.000-07:002009-03-23T19:50:00.000-07:00Its less of a matter of good pride versus bad pride.

Whenever a new operating system is put out some old software won't work. However, the difference between XP and Vista was huge compared to the difference between Vista and 7. So, if your software works in Vista it should work in 7.<BR/><BR/>The Vista problem with drivers is not Microsoft's fault at all. Drivers are put out by the companies that make the hardware. So, for instance, if you have an HP printer that doesn't work with Vista (or with 7), that is HP's fault, not Microsoft's. Microsoft wants everything to work with their operating system because it makes it that much more valuable, but other hardware manufacturers sometimes want you to buy a new printer from them so they are slow in updating their drivers.<BR/><BR/>In general it is pretty safe to say that whatever you have working on Vista will work on 7. 7 is basically a cleaned up version of Vista. Hope that helps!<BR/><BR/>bryBryan and Megganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14377555104226944323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-7042331379274095832009-03-13T05:57:00.000-07:002009-03-13T05:57:00.000-07:00Hey Bryan,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post. Did they fix the problem of being able to use older software? When I use Vista, I can't use any of my older software.<BR/><BR/>Also what did they do to fix the Vista problem of drivers, and dealing with things like printers (it took me a full day to have Vista recognize my printer, sigh.)tom wolffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15045360985467575407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-68312494847240497222009-03-08T15:43:00.000-07:002009-03-08T15:43:00.000-07:00Sarah, <BR/><BR/>Good job recognizing the picture, but no, I was not trying to refer to Eastern Orthodoxy. I am addressing any form of orthodoxy that is lifeless. As a matter of fact, when writers are addressing dead orthodoxy today they are usually referring to fundamentalists, Calvinists, high church folk, etc. <BR/><BR/>I chose the picture because probably out of anyone reading this post, only you or your husband could possibly recognize such a picture! I couldn't come up with a better idea for a picture representing generic orthodoxy.<BR/><BR/>And as a side note, I have peeked in on some Eastern Orthodox liturgy in an effort to grasp Eastern thought vs. Western thought in terms of Christianity and have found some beautiful expressions of the faith therein.<BR/><BR/>bryBryan and Megganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14377555104226944323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-51349197636920059012009-03-08T10:07:00.000-07:002009-03-08T10:07:00.000-07:00Dry dead Orthodoxy. <BR/><BR/>The word orthodoxy has many valid meanings and connotations, but since you used a classic icon in the Byzantine tradition to represent your post, I assume the meaning you are attaching to orthodoxy has something to do with the Eastern Orthodox. <BR/><BR/>Dry and dead. Why don't you go catch the Divine Liturgy one of these weekends? After experiencing the wonders of it, I think you'd definitely conclude something other than dry and dead.Sarah Mosleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16717858143095178597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-60122200399625842222009-03-06T06:25:00.000-08:002009-03-06T06:25:00.000-08:00One word - Money.<BR/><BR/>While it seems like you should be able to just take your little digital camera out and take pictures, it actually takes time and effort to set up the shots correctly to achieve the picture you want. To do this, you usually need to hire someone that actually knows what is going on. It is much easier and cheaper to just go grab a picture in the public domain and use it.<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts.............<BR/><BR/>Dad WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-46052353071630971262009-03-05T08:59:00.000-08:002009-03-05T08:59:00.000-08:00The most adorable pic ever!

This is all your mothers doing as you correctly point out. I am not sure which side of the family this comes from, but I suspect it is an Ekstrand tradition. Just think of how many generations are impacted by this pickle thing. Now, think about all of the kids from Mom's generation that passed this along to their kids who will pass it along to their kids..... Will society every be able to bear such a burden. <BR/><BR/>Lovingly, <BR/><BR/>Your DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466331.post-25119431135503905782009-02-24T08:50:00.000-08:002009-02-24T08:50:00.000-08:00Bry,<BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>I put a link on my (our) blog to redirect reads to your post.<BR/><BR/>I too am thankful for our advocate in heaven..."Christ Jesus, the rightous"!<BR/><BR/>Dad JDuane Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01050771854010326565noreply@blogger.com
