Wrestling With War: Part One

This is about as arrogant a series of posts as I’ll ever write. Or even more bluntly, some of the most arrogant thoughts that I might ever have. Because as I write this . . . as I’ve been thinking through these things for the last couple of months . . . I’m sitting in [...]

Frappr Map

So recently I joined this very cool little community called Frappr. I’m sure you tech-savy people know all about it (it’s been around for a bit), but it’s basically a way for everyone to sort of map who they are and where they are. Which I think is good for me since unless you comment [...]

The Evolution of a Worshipper

 

I thought this was a nice little cartoon. (ht: Sivin Kit)

I would say everything is just about right on for me except for the angry face on #5. I would substitute a stoic/reflective face for the angry face. But that’s just me.

Podcast 1.8 Up & Ready

 
Our latest podcast is up and features Trevor DeBenning, not to be confused with Luke Wilson from the Royal Tenebaums.
Trevor is the teaching director at Risen Church, a faith community in Santa Monica, California. Trevor is 24, newly married, and wicked smart. And shares some really nice insights on MLK Jr., leading a community at [...]

Today.

In a mini-celebration of 10,000 hits and the fact that you guys are all some of the most superb people I’ve ever/never met. I thought I would do a simple redesign on the site (if you can’t see it, you need to clear out your cache). I was getting tired of all the color and [...]

Housekeeping

A couple of minor things.
1) As you can now see, there is a poll in the right sidebar for the question that I posed this morning. The cabin that I suggested can sleep 18 which is only $19 a person per day. Then communal meals. And our tickets to Dollywood would be the only other [...]

OK . . . Either this is a brilliant idea or really lame

So here’s the deal. Anna and I were laying in bed tonight (after a really great time hanging out with some old friends btw) and we were reading the comments on our blogs. And we started talking about how cool it is to have all of these relationships with people spred across the entire country. [...]

A Juxtaposition of Sorts: or proper thanks to some Wisconsites and the absence of others (also known as my open confession to friends past and present) - PART 2

 
PART 1 HERE
Poor Mike & Jill, they had no idea that all of this was going on behind the scenes. They had no idea that we were wrestling and struggling with our identities. But there they were nonetheless. Honeymoon friends.
Over the next couple of days, Anna and I enjoyed conversations, dinners, and drinks with two [...]

A Juxtaposition of Sorts: or proper thanks to some Wisconsites and the absence of others (also known as my open confession to friends past and present) - PART 1

Marriage changes a lot of things. For me and Anna, it has helped us see what is really important in life. I think that’s when our journey into heresy and apostasy really got elevated a couple of knotches for us. It started with our vows. As we were writing and thinking and having conversations about [...]
