About this blog's title

Unless you've been locked in the basement of an Austrian psychopath for the past several decades (but without access to any outside media) you'll understand what "stardate" is about. On Star Trek Captain Kirk (or whoever was in command) used to say something like, "Captain's log, Stardate, six thousand forty-two," before giving a brief summary of the latest exploits of the Starship Enterprise.

Anyhow, the point here is that for a Christian like myself, while earthly calendars certainly are important (telling me, for instance, that next February I'll be 57!?) the most important chronometer is the one I call The Big Clock.

That's the one that will determine when all this we see around us--this world, this universe--will come to an end, at least as it is now.

And that Clock is up above, i.e., in heaven.

And in heaven, time will be endless, or infinite.

Hence, this blog's title, Stardate: Infinity.

(I had considered calling it Pilgrim's Log: Stardate, Infinity but changed my mind.)
