“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore,” he said. “Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.”

All the year round?
Where is the treasure,
Lasting and dear,
That shall ensure thee
A Happy New Year?
Faith that increaseth,
Walking in light;
Hope that aboundeth,
Happy and bright;
Love that [...]

After the destruction of the original Slice by an incompetent hosting company, I decided to gradually republish salvageable posts from the past that are of some informational value.

The original shutdown of Slice occurred when the discovery was made that that Ipower was incorrectly billing Tim Challies, my former webmaster, for the hosting that began in March. Ipower did not establish new account information when Slice restarted in March of this year and instead began billing Challies again, who did not notice until [...]

Additionally, I want to clarify something regarding the loss of the database. iPower is now telling people that they [...]

Lord, that You my pen would free,
That dull thoughts in Thy Light will flee;
That apt words might my servants be,
That I may convey the sense effectively,
I pray in humility.
Amen

My Grandpa, Oscar C. Eliason, passed away when I was 17, but I remember him as though it was only yesterday. When I think of him, I smell woodsmoke from his kitchen stove that helped warm his rural Minnesota home on 40 degree below zero days, and I can see his plaid flannel shirt that [...]
