A working weekend, but with good food and a debate

We enjoyed one of the best weekends we have had in a long time. I had to work most of the day on Saturday, but was able to get a lot accomplished. Kelly played at here adjudicated recital on Saturday and Christian was able to get the home computers set up so he could access them via his Palm TX PDA over the internet from anywhere in the world. He is not going to enable it quite yet because he needs to make sure the systems are secure, but it was quite an undertaking and an accomplishment. You can see from the pictures in the post below that we ate quite well over the weekend. I hope we get to have at least one more of Grandpa Milo’s gourmet meals before they leave on Wednesday morning. On Sunday, Grandpa Milo made a fruit plate that featured the apple carved like a bird on top of a stack of pineapple and other fruits. Christian hung out with his friends Hunter and Sterling while Kelly was able to spend some time with her friend Megan. Now that we are getting more settled in our new digs, we are going to have to find a way to spend some more time with them.

On Sunday evening, I played a very interesting debate between one of my favorite authors and scholars named William Lane Craig and a very liberal Christian “scholar” named John Dominic Crossan. It was neat, because I had forgotten that the debate moderator was the recently deceased William F. Buckley, Jr. Crossan worked really hard to find a way to not believe in the resurrection of Christ. The debate demonstrates why he did not succeed. You can listen to it here.
