Just wanted to post up a few quick thoughts on this year, with opening day (the real opening day, not the Japanese crap) less than 2 days away, I probably should have posted before this, but oh well. Likes: Escobar. He had a phenomenal spring break, batted over .500 for the first two weeks of [...]
So apparently the plague decided to visit my house this past week, I was running a fever of 103 at one point. Becky caught whatever I had too, so we’ve been a pretty miserable bunch. The worst part of it is the Wellstar urgent care doctor that I went to told me it was OK [...]
It’s called Holy Saturday. I guess they couldn’t come up with a better name for it than that, I mean the entire week is called holy week for crying out loud. The Filipinos refer to it as Black Saturday, and I think I’m going to adopt that name. I think we’ve lost sight of this [...]
I have a tendency to look up things on the web that will probably piss me off. So I was looking up criticisms of Rob Bell, when I happened upon the name Brian McLaren. I think it was a Christianity today article I was reading, but the author bashed McLaren pretty badly. Needless to say, [...]
This one is kind of long, I’m not known for the length of my posts, but it’s a good story. Trajectory is such an interesting concept if you think about it. An object, put in motion, will essentially hold to the same trajectory, unless acted upon by another force. Be that force gravitational pulls, “roadblocks,” [...]
I’ll admit, the last post sounded quite angry. But I’m not so sure I’m angry, I think I’m more along the lines of “hurt.” The last post came after a string of e-mails between my mother and I, about the nature of Jeremiah Wright’s words and Obama. But that was really just the straw that [...]
So we have a problem here in America. It’s called americanism. It’s a religion, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a drug. The way it’s progressing, it doesn’t seem like it will stop. There’s always been voices against it, but those voices somehow always seem to get silenced. It’s like we’re scared of the voices offering dissent [...]
I was talking with a friend the other day. We were discussing John Piper, Joel Osteen, and the Prosperity gospel (actually it all started when I showed him the Pisseth video) and I was trying to articulate my view of acquiring “stuff.” I was attempting to explain to him my viewpoint on the idea that [...]
Lately I’ve been listening to some music that is a bit outside my normal spectrum. I usually go for the corporatized sound (I know some of the bands I listen to would argue against them being corporatized sounding, but they are), but I stretched out to a newer artist lately. John Mark McMillan I first [...]
Pretty good day today, I did go to the evil empire to start off the day, but the coffee was actually pretty good. Normally I’m not a huge fan, but I went for the caramel latte instead of the vanilla. Good choice. Moving on, we did several pretty cool things today. First off Becky borrowed [...]
