The book of Job has long been used as a book to try to explain the problem of why bad things happen to good people or why evil exists, etc. The story begins with the telling of a “bet” between God and Satan about a man named Job. Job was by all accounts [...]

An interesting drive in this morning. You never know when odd things will come at you.
Bad Grammar, Bad Theology, or both?
The first came as I passed an Assembly of God School’s sign. It said, “Help us shape them in His image.” I know the message they are trying to say is that [...]

As he often does, my friend Drew got me thinking this morning with a blog post. He is reflecting upon some of the pieces of Sarah Palin’s interview with Charles Gibson tonight on 20/20.  I have not seen the interview as yet (although the Tivo is set to record) and I have only seen a [...]

I have linked to Roland Martin’s work before on CNN.com and I need to do so again.  This time Mr Martin is trying to focus on how to get past the political sides of the discussion regarding Gov. Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy.  While I doubt his words will really make a difference in the debate as [...]

Wow - what a great weekend I have ahead of me…
Thursday Night - Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field Mile High Stadium.

I am seriously excited about Thursday night.  This is the first time in my life that I have either volunteered (I networked the printers wirelessly in his SD campaign office) for and [...]

Well, having been tagged by my former classmate Drew, its time to step up to the plate.  Of course, connecting it to the most recent Star Wars trilogy might not be the best thing, but its probably better than:
Presbymeme II: The Two Memes?
or
The Dark Presbymeme
Anyway, onto the rules & the questions:
The Rules

In about 25 words [...]

So, two podcasts to lift up with the highest recommendations.  One for a slightly more specific audience (although I think there’s great stuff in it for all) and one for anyone interested in the current political debates going on around us.
Take me to the Bridge w/ David Wilcox
My wonderful wife got me hooked on David [...]

Ok - just a few quick hit topics that have been floating around for me.
Africa’s U2 Album
Ok - this isn’t really new news, but I finally got the album, In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2.  Its been out for nearly a year now, but I finally got around to ordering it (Amazon mp3 [...]

Ok - this might be (ok likely is) a bit of a reach, but I saw some parallels between the sad demise of Facebook’s Scrabulous app today and the way that we too often try to do church.
A bit of history
- Scrabulous created on Facebook and quickly becomes one of the most popular (and addicting) [...]

Last night, I finished my “annual” reading of A Prayer for Owen Meany.  (BTW, I linked to an older copy of it on Amazon because the newer one has a picture of John Irving on the cover and not the armadillo.  What’s up with that?  Anyway…).  I read the book for the first time my [...]
