This has been on my mind for a couple weeks now, it was something that Becky and I talked about during one of our somewhat famous Taco Mac conversations (ok, they’re really not that famous, but we love them anyways, if anyone ever wants to join in just tell us, seriously, we’re starved for good [...]
You may have missed it, but Bush talked about high prices on both food and oil in a news conference out on the front lawn today. He made a few good points, and a few poor one. The most striking point he made was that we should buy from LOCAL farmers, I wholly and totally [...]
For some years now you have viewed yourselves as championing the cause of Pro-Marriage legislation, which is more plainly stated: Anti-Homosexual legislation. You have felt the turning tide of public appeal fall favorably on Gay marriage, and see this trend as an affront to your very core being. Your leaders have imposed if Homosexuality were [...]
So I’ve made it no secret that I’m not a big fan of certain things that the college group I’m a part of does. From the “apologetics” to the attempt to mimic the now defunct 7:22, some of the things just don’t sit right with me. A couple weeks ago I was told that I [...]

I guess the toughest thing to do is to act on whatever revelations have been given to you. But this is difficult for me (and I guess most people) for many reasons, it will [...]
It seems like my wife and I have the most interesting conversations at Taco Mac. For those of you not familiar with the chain it’s a bar with a restaurant attached, with a selection of hundreds of beers, and pretty good wings. But it seems that when we sit down the theology light switch gets [...]
What does it say about me that if my wife and I were to start a house church we’re pretty sure after week one it would just be the two of us? Or does it say something about my friends more so than myself? Is it possible to have a house church with a group [...]
