Sorry, folks, but except for the note immediately above this one, I’m afraid that I’m having to take an undesired blog day off.
TypePad’s service was down Wednesday evening (and much of the day) and this prevented me from blogging. Assuming there are no new problems, normal blogging should resume tomorrow.
UPDATE: TypePad seems to have had to revert to a backup copy of their system in order to solve the problem they were having. As a result, some of my posts went back into draft mode (they have now been restored) and it looks like they lost yesterdays comments. Rats. I loved Suzanne’s amazingly candid one on the post about godparents.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Jimmy,
Your post about the wireless iPod from earlier today seems to have disappeared. I tried to add a comment to it earlier, but Typepad’s service was down, and it wouldn’t let me add the comment. I saved my comment in a text file, since it took me several minutes to type it, and I didn’t want that time to go to waste. So whenever the post re-appears, I have a comment ready and waiting. 🙂
Sounds like orc mischief!
That’d be an interesting challenge.
OK everybody, recreate the posts you made yesterday…
and keep the original ordering…
I’ll give you free hosting for Movable Type or WordPress 2 (which can import MT entries) along with full FTP access at:

…whenever you want it, Jimmy 😉
