Casa Jonsson

I’ve written about heroes before. While visiting my hometown over Christmas I visited one of my favorite high school teachers, John Randall. I learned that he’s fighting inoperable lung cancer and may not have long to live. His and his wife Dawn’s courage, and the use they’re making of the time he has left, are […]

I’ve been a delinquent blogger. Sorry about that.
As a peace offering I’ll link up two recordings I made in the last couple months. Both are live performances from worship services at our church: “Meditation (Psalm 19)” ( hi-fi or  lo-fi) and “This Is Food Indeed” ( hi-fi or  lo-fi).
Best to you and yours in 2007.

I just found out that a friend of Casa Jonsson is blogging. Again. (We’ve linked to weblogs of his in the past and they fizzled. But hope springs eternal.) I asked him why I hadn’t heard about this project that has been underway since June. He wants to remain anonymous.
I’m linking to him anyway, but […]

In the spirit of completism I’m posting the results of the survey I took. Each link leads you to a chart that shows how my response compares with those of the rest of the respondents.

Several friends of Casa Jonsson have begun contributing to a new weblog, called Common Grounds Online. The site is an outgrowth of a book on the topic of what C. S. Lewis called “the great conversation.” Linc Ashby and Pat Roach are ministers at our church. Jenny Staff Johnson, together with her husband, Mark, runs Strange […]

After some soul-searching I just signed up with Google AdSense.
Henceforth [Nils’s] life was filled with comfort and luxury, but marked by excess and perversion. Everything was within his grasp: elegant clothing, fine wines, sumptuous food, beautiful women—even Helen of Troy and the concubines from the Turkish sultan’s harem. He became the most famous astrologer in […]

Laurie has joined the fray, thanks in part to the encouragement of her bloggerific husband, Mark. I get a little misty-eyed when a blogging convert walks the aisle, as it were.

Howard suggested this idea. Pass it on.

Open your MP3 player.
Shuffle all the tracks in your library.
Leave me a comment reporting the first 10 tracks that show up.
Do not skip over that embarrassing song that came up. You must list the first 10 tracks. The only exception is if there’s a repeated artist or album.
Post the […]

Howard’s blogging!
He linked to What Famous Leader Are You? Last night I took this personality test along with another one from the same site, and the results continued a distressing trend.

What Famous Leader Is Nils?

What Classic Movie Is Nils?
I’m quitting the personality test habit.
