Funny clip… thought it would be a nice change from all the serious stuff.

Pro-Potter

Friday, February 24th, 2006

This is one of the best articles I’ve seen from a Christian perspective that applauds Harry Potter. Thank you for this insightful article, Internet Monk.

Church steals XBOX 360 logo?

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Some folks are accusing this church of theft because of their new promotional flier. Is this really stealing? I don’t think so. Churches are finally doing something smart, I think. They’re finally getting smart on how to attract the younger generations. Churches should not be stuck in the pit of tradition. Thanks for the tip [...]

Burnside Writer’s Collective

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

My favorite quote from Penny’s article, Flag-waving SUV: It is far easier to point our fingers and judge than to look at our own lives and ask God to weed out our sin. My favorite quote from her follow-up article, Living Out the Greatest Commandment in America: Truth or Irony?: We must be careful to [...]

"Cheney is a terrorist."

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

So it seems Alec Baldwin thinks he’s an op-ed writer. Check out his scathing attack on Cheney because of the whole shooting. I personally prefer to read this article that puts Baldwin in perspective.

Megachurch Game?

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

I’m not sure what I think about this. There’s a SIMS inspired game called Megachurch. The teaser is this: Imagine if you could create the church you wanted, any way you wanted.

Lapsed Posting and Donald Miller

Monday, February 20th, 2006

My posts are lapsed over the weekends because my home computer has been sent back to the manufacturer for tech support. Bah. But I found this amazing article by Donald Miller about the whole James Frey scandal. I found it on another blog, but the article is actually posted on the Burnside Writers Collective.

Deconstructing Jesus: Your Story is God’s Story

Friday, February 17th, 2006

Michael Spencer, of Internet Monk, has written a fabulous piece on viewing God, Jesus, and the Bible the way they were meant to be viewed. The method of changing your thinking? Deconstruction. He says: I am deconstructing everything in my life that is not vitally connected to Jesus as King and Messiah. How do you [...]

WMD?

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

The timing of some things is absolutely uncanny. I read on One Hand Clapping today some opinions on the war and WMD. He quoted Polipundit, today: Look, we could have video of Saddam examining bunkers full of WMD, neatly labeled in English, with a huge map in the background with U.S. targets brightly circled using [...]

It was birdshot!!

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Hugh Hewitt has definitely found a new fan. Those who post on Hugh’s blog seem to have the only voice of reason in the country right now–and I say right on! Check this post out: The Press: Making a Bazooka Outta Some Birdshot by Mary Katharine Ham February 16, 2006 09:08 AM EST Does it [...]
