i’m tired of not doing anything

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I’ve been brooding on these thoughts of late. This post by Josh Brown didn’t really help at all. I’ve been listening to the Sustainable Faith conference, and I’ve been somewhat thinking through my life and the sustainability of it. don’t see too many ways in which I can currently make my life more sustainable, yet [...]

my sad fears

Monday, February 25th, 2008

So the emergent cohort for the Atlanta area meets tomorrow, but I don’t think I’m going to go. Why? Because I’m a chicken. I’m completely comfortable with online posting of my thoughts, listening to others thoughts and opinions, and on carrying conversations. But you get me in with a group of people I don’t really [...]

questions

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

So I’m reading “The Divine Conspiracy” by Dallas Willard right now. All I can say is wow, this guy is deep. I’m seriously only on page 50 and he’s already made some pretty profound (well backed) statements. I’ll post up my complete thoughts on the book when I’m done (at the rate I’m reading it [...]

the separation

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Edit: I miss-spelled separation and didn’t catch it before I posted, but now there are two trackbacks to this post so I don’t want to change the links, thus it will stay as is. So many have seen the chart which evidently shows which members of e(E)mergent are outside of orthodoxy. The chart was created [...]

EDIT: The conversation has devolved into back and forth, thus comments have been closed. Thanks to all who participated. A brief discussion was started on facebook regarding belief in a literal translation of the genesis account. Here’s the comments on the topic, if you have something to add feel free to post it. Bill C [...]

a white man’s world?

Monday, February 18th, 2008

So there’s been some intense discussion over on Josh Brown’s site about emergent being a white man’s game, if you haven’t read through them I’d highly suggest reading all of the comments as there is plenty of insightful and good stuff in there (and some junk). So this conversation got me thinking about how most [...]

Healthcare

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I just finished watching Sicko, a documentary on health care, in which Michael Moore shows how pathetic (corrupt, a-moral) our American health care system is. It kind of hurts watching the documentary. Seriously. I know that some of this has to be propaganda but my God, if even some of it is true (and I [...]

Sicko

Watching sicko… I’ll post my thoughts when I’m done and processed it. email2friend

WordPress

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I’m gonna make another switch here in the next few days (already left .mac for blogger). I’ve been looking at wordpress here a bit lately and I think it’s the best choice in blogging systems. I basically hate the comment leaving system on blogspot, and I don’t like the annoying blue bar at the top [...]
