The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

the fact that it’s really really snowing very much out there.  I just found out through the Bethel Link that classes tonight at Seminary are cancelled.  I’m wondering if they will do the same thing on Tuesday, since it’s snowing like a son of a biscuit out here. OK, so I’m not a fan of [...]

I’ve been hearing about some study that says that using a cell phone for ten years doubles your risk of getting brain cancer.  I find that ludicrous. I don’t care if it’s true or not; I’m keeping mine!  I have it in case I need to quickly communicate with the VAMC in regards to my [...]

I was kinda worried that I wouldn’t get my allowance this morning, and that I would be in dire straits.  But, praise God, I got my allowance this morning on schedule.  Our God is an Awesome God!  He really takes care of us.  Thanks to Him for His faithfulness and His love. It doesn’t hurt [...]

My friends in Minnesota, where I now am living, are very great friends.  The family is OK too. Unfortuately, I won’t be able to keep up with them on this kind of level.  I am strongly considering relocating to the lovely state of Masschusetts.  (Officially, the Commonweath).  I’ve been living in Minnesota all my life, [...]

Easter this year went pretty dang well, I think.  It was awesome for me to spend time with some great friends.  Easter Brunch went well.  The food was great.  I only ate two platefuls, though.  Didn’t want to worry Mom about my appetite or anything.   Last night I spent some time with Steve.  It’s [...]

I want to wish all of you a Happy Easter.  I hope your Easter season goes well for all of you.  I’m doing church tomorrow at SLP.  I have no clue on what I’m doing after services.  I do know I will be having Easter Brunch with my Mom and the stepfamily.  Good food at [...]

I just learned that the author of 2001: A Space Odessy, Arthur C. Clarke, has died.  (Courtesy of the Associated Press via Fox News).  This guy was one of the pioneers of modern science fiction.  It’s because of his visions that we have the International Space Station, space exploration in general, and some other stuff [...]

It looks like this world is increasing in the rate it flips its lid.  Between young children getting killed by gunshots, economic woes, rattlesnakes in moonshine bottles, leaders with sexual sins increasing, and other stuff, it’s a wonder that the world is even able to function. When Spitzer was strongly encouraged to resign and pass [...]

The highlights of my day today were 1.  Eating chow at Culvers, and 2. Going to Spring Lake Park campus for church this evening.  Sat with my friend and one of his daughters in the service.  The service had a technical issue while Jason Strand was speaking, so they had to redo Jason’s mike.  And [...]

I received a message on Facebook from a great friend.  I haven’t really been using Facebook  a lot, but now that I “friended” the individual, I guess that that particular venue to communicate with some friends is going to be active.  So if you happen to have a Facebook account, I will friend you.  The [...]
