This is probably the best video I’ve seen this year. I dare you to watch it. This kid is 18. Such amazing honesty.
Why Jennifer Knapp Is Important
Jennifer Knapp is creating a strange problem for some people. I remember hearing Jennifer Knapp when she first released Kansas. It was one of the more poignant and beautiful albums of the 90′s. Undo Me still gets play in my iTunes. But then Jennifer went silent. I didn’t know why until about five months ago …
Would Peter Get Hired
I had a strange thought this morning. Would the Apostle Peter get hired as a pastor? I have an RSS feed for Pastor jobs in my Google Reader. And I consistently see the same job posting for Pastor. They typically list qualifications for the role which include something like: A committed Christian with an exemplary …
Straight From The Horses Mouth
“I’ve always wondered why people who believe in total depravity say things to their kids like “good job” when they catch a baseball. Shouldn’t they say something like you caught the ball, but you still deserve to go to hell?” Donald Miller I love Donald Miller’s humor. He always find a way to bring out …

David says: “There can be no “justice” without “judgment.” God would not be “just” or “good” if horrific crimes — such as Priests and parents sexually …
Making It Through Death
What is the meaning of suffering? Sometimes we don’t get to know until after we suffer. Some time ago a friend from college lost his infant daughter. The implosion to his family was utterly devastating and I could not begin to fathom the emotional content of that moment. I can’t even imagine what it would …
Would Jesus Drop A Bomb?
I love Greg Boy and Tony Campolo. Some classic lines in this one.
LOST Season 2 Observations
A couple of days ago I finished the second season of LOST. I’m powering through each season on Hulu. Season 2 is very interesting. When you watch it the way I am it feels like a very long but very good movie. Season 2 provided a tremendous amount of character development around the main characters …
