  • I’m ok with this

    It’s been known for several years that Jeffrey Dahmer made a confession of faith right before he was murdered in prison, including a baptism. There’s been a lot of chatter and weirdness about that because some people don’t think God has enough grace to save Mr. Dahmer. If it’s true, and this story makes it…

  • NY Times Article on Housing Allowances

    A YMX forumite posted a link to this NY Times article called, "Religion-Based Tax Breaks: Housing to Paychecks to Books" I think the article accurately described the issue. In fact, this is a clearer presentation of what pastors and ministry leaders can get exempt from than I’ve seen anywhere else. The rules and limits have…

  • Pedestrian Killed in Front of the Church

    Yesterday, when I was coming to work, there was the remnents of a terrible accident about 100 yards from the church. I had to walk through the accident scene because the road was blocked off, I could tell that it was a terrible accident. I saw that it was a high school students car. I…

  • Gag me with a Christian Spoon

    I ran across this story over on Marko’s blog. Things like this make me absolutely sick, but it’s true… people are developing Christian-themed subdivisions. Two excerpts are puke-worthy: Near the entrance, before the road turns to reveal new homes starting at $400,000, a restored chapel sits under the shade of trees. [Read the article] It’s…

  • Bush, Tongue Tied

    OK, I saw this and just thought it was funny. It’s good to know that I’m not alone in saying stupid things in public.

  • Presidential Address

    I watched the President’s address last night. Of course, his speach brought up all sorts of memories of September 11th, 2001 when he gave a similarly timed address to let the nation know we would respond. Much of what he said reminded me of how strong he was during those days immediately following the attacks.…

  • Metro Detroit Youth Workers Lunch

    Friday afternoon I had the joy of connecting up with a great group of people for my second Metro Detroit Youth Workers lunch. This one was much smaller, but much cooler than the last one. Man… a good atmosphere is everything. Things I liked… Talking to some of the same people from last time. I…

  • The Croc Hunter has Died

    I am quite sad about this. Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, has tragically died. He was filming along Batt Reef, off the coast of Australia, when he was stung by a stingray. Here’s an excerpt from the news story. "He came on top of the stingray and the stingray’s barb went up and into his…

  • The Other Iraq

    This morning I watched a commerical on FoxNews that was called, "The Other Iraq: Thank You" Essentially, it is the Kurdistan Development Corporation broadcasting to the world, "We’re done with this war, we’re ready for business, but before we do that… we want people to know we are thankful." This is cool on a few…
