I really appreciate those who visit and comment (even those who do not comment, and I really do know who you are!). I have had some issues with my feeds for the blog and have made some adjustments. It would really help me if those who subscribe to one of my feeds would use my [...]
So I like to read to my four year old daughter before she goes to bed. Recently I got in the habit of making up stories for her on the spot. This weekend she asked if I would “tell” her a story, not simply read one from a book. So this is what came out. [...]
To be honest I was not looking forward to this movie very much, but the teaser trailer does it for me. It looks great. Listen to the words of Superman’s father, esp. toward the end and why Kal-El (Superman) was sent to earth. Just awesome. If you have missed it, check out the teaser here.
I saw this in DeKalb recently. Does it bother you? If it does, why? I imagine many Christians would be frustrated with it because we have bought into a synthesis of Christianity and American politics. It’s not that I am a Democrat (or a Republican), but I am uncomfortable with any sell-out to a political [...]
Because of a recent new car puchase my Dad received a free 30GB iPod. Though he is technologically savy, especially for a sexagenarian, he didn’t have use for it so he passed it on to me. I wouldn’t have spent the cash on it, but love having one.

As a form [...]
Al Mohler has written an excellent piece concerning the genocide in Darfur and called the church to both awareness and action. In our comfortable climate it can be easy to forget our God calls us to more than personal devotions and a private prayer life. He calls us to work for justice, to value mercy [...]
I took the “Are You a Heretic Quiz” and was pleased to see that I am 100% “Chalcedon Compliant.” It’s funny though, I think the framers of the new, controversial IMB policies might trip the donatism alarms. Give it a whirl, it’s a short quiz.

I have been putting my thoughts together on the concept of “culture war” for a few months now, but have not laid them all out yet. To be honest, I am still thinking through certain aspects of the concept and trying to draw the best, most biblical, conclusions.
Mark Driscoll has a new post up asking [...]
