I am a retired Army officer (artillery, MI, and chaplain). I have the privilege of teaching several classes in Colorado Springs to high school, college, and adults on comparative worldviews (biblical vs secular). As I read the various threads, some impress me as good for illustrating different worldviews. So, using some Army terminology, I mark "incidents" as "SPOTREPS" (spot report) and "descriptions of the current world scene" as "SITREPs" (situation reports). INTREP (Intelliegence Report) provides information of an event involving those of the "opposition;" INTSUM (Intelligence Summary) provides more general information. When I get home, I download these SPOTREPs and SITREPs to a database for future use.

"LiteKeeper" is short for "Lighthouse Keeper." I am a great fan of lighthouses, and even more so the many Christian principles that can be illustrated through the lighthouse metaphor. Additionally, Christians are told to "let your light so shine before men that will see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven." As a pastor,I see my role is helping Christians keep the light shining, as did the early light keepers on the shores of our great nation.

Does that help?

Helps a lot. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what those Intrep, spotreps were for :)

LiteKeeper is a perfect handle for you.

You ever heard the song "Franklin's Tower" by the Grateful Dead? You might enjoy reading the lyrics: HERE

In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again
