Testimony of Catherine Westerfield
Testimony of my mother Catherine Westerfield, March 7, 1950 – June 28, 2001 I can remember my conversion at the age of five so very well. It was a Sunday evening worship service. It’s remarkable, as I look back at how God revealed Himself so clearly – His infinite love for me. I was both in [...]
U-Verse Install on Saturday!
Finally, the long wait is over for the Westerfunk network … U-Verse will allegedly be installed on Saturday between 1 and 3 pm. We’ll see how that turns out. Just want to make everyone aware now that all sites will be unavailable until I can bring them back up on the new service. Also, one [...]

AT&T Digging Up My Yard
Update 8.6.2009: Well, to give them credit, they did leave a note on my front door letting me know the day before. So, nevermind. It is AT&T and they are putting Uverse in the neighborhood. So, that’s pretty cool! Okay. I know AT&T or the power company can come and dig up your yard as [...]

Shack Author William P. Young Denies Penal Substitution (MP3)
Interview conducted by Kendall Adams with William P. Young, author of The Shack: http://rock-life.com/files/shakcomp.mp3 (To hear the specific denial, fast-forward 16 minutes into the audio) I realize many people have a love affair with The Shack.

The Annoyance of WordPress Revisions – And the Fix
After getting this new blog up and running, I noticed one of the features that was added in version 2.5 of WordPress: revisions. It got me to thinking about how the database was impacted after moving all of those entries over. After running a query in the DB, the result came back with 1723 rows, [...]
And Here Come the WordPress Spam Bots
POST /wp-comments-post.php 302 It sure doesn’t take long for the automated comment spam sentinels to get their tentacles out there and start prodding a new system to see where they can post their annoying overseas mail-order Viagra/Cialis ads. Good thing I have the ModSecurity web app firewall running and captcha protection. Otherwise, there would already [...]
