God does not cooperate with mankind’s tests

Don’t you just love how the mainstream media (MSM) enjoyed reporting the results of a Harvard study showing prayers had no effect on heart patients?

Come on, who are you kidding Harvard? I thought you had a Divinity school? The researchers should have checked out Deuteronomy 6:16 “Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah.”

I really like this quote from Southern Baptist professor, Mark Coppenger:

“It’s my experience that God actually prompts our prayers” Coppenger, distinguished professor of apologetics at Southern Seminary, said. “But I don’t see Him cooperating in a test.”

I rejoice that God is sovereign.

Verizon FiOS

I just got off the phone with Verizon where I learned the fiber is now on and they are taking orders. Installers come May 16 to install FiOS service for my home!

Now, only if FiOS TV were available I could dump Comcast once and for all. Thankfully, I may not have to wait very long.

10.4.6 Secrets: Re-Partition your Mac Hard Drive

There has been of discussion about the great dynamic disk partitioning tool that Apple “included” in Boot Camp. Guess what folks, Apple added this tool to the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update. That’s right. Just fire up terminal.app! PPC too!


Welcome to Darwin!
imac:~ eric$ diskutil resizeVolume
Disk Utility Tool
Usage:  diskutil resizeVolume [Mount Point|Disk Identifier|Device Node] size
          ...
Non-destructively resize a disk. You may increase or decrease its size.
When decreasing size, you may optionally supply a list of new partitions to create.
Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Valid partition sizes are in the format of .
Valid sizes are B(ytes), K(ilobytes), M(egabytes), G(igabytes), T(erabytes)
Example: 10G (10 gigabytes), 4.23T (4.23 terabytes), 5M (5 megabytes)
resizeVolume is only supported on GPT media with a Journaled HFS+ filesystem.
A size of "limits" will print the range of valid values for the current filesystem.
Example: diskutil resizeVolume disk1s3  10G
         JHFS+ HDX1 5G MS-DOS HDX2 5G
Valid filesystems: "Case-sensitive HFS+" "Journaled HFS+" "Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+"
"HFS+" "HFS" "MS-DOS FAT32" "MS-DOS FAT16" "MS-DOS" "MS-DOS FAT12" "UFS" "Linux" "Swap"
