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 [...]

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 [...]

Maybe this is because I have probably paid more attention and been more actively involved in this election than any other in my life, but there is something that seems very new in this 2008 presidential election cycle.  Granted, I live in a state where John McCain could be an alien from Mars and stil [...]

I have alternated between laughing at the silliness and annoyed at the inaneness of the discussion about whether Barack Obama should wear a flag pin.  Does his choice to not wear one make him “un-American” or “un-patriotic”?  Going back to the useless 2 hours that ABC had a few weeks ago that was offically called [...]

Well, since finishing up my thesis (woot!), I have begun to fall in love again with the printed word. While I read over 150 books and other forms of “literature” as sources for my thesis, it is very different to read for a thesis than it is to read for “choice.” So, in the several [...]

I found myself watching Red Dawn a few nights ago. It was spurred on from a Risk (facebook version) game I was playing with some of my buddies. I remember seeing it when it initially came out in 1984 (I guess they didn’t care it was PG-13 when I bought my ticket since I [...]

Well, its amazing how things come together timing-wise. I submitted my final version of my Doctor of Ministry thesis on Monday morning. The focus of my project was on how seminaries need to integrate multimedia into their preaching curriculum. Many (if not most) seminaries (at least PCUSA ones) are still training their [...]
