I’ve been plugging along all semester in an online introductory IT class. Now, it hasn’t been worthless; I’ve been exposed to quite a bit of stuff I didn’t know or was only vaguely familiar with, but the whole experience has been rather frustrating.

Also tagged health care, humor, quotesI grew up in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). At one time I attended Phillips University, which was, in addition to a regular college, one of the seminaries for the denomination. (As difficult as it is to imagine now, for those that know me, at one time I intended to become an ordained minister.) [...]
