There’s a couple things I want to mention before I start. First, since my posts now go to facebook as notes, I’ve gotten some more personal responses from people that didn’t read my blog previously but have been following me since I started moving into the facebook area as well. To these people, and to [...]
This past week Becky and I went to hang out with her best friend, a recent grad of Lee University, and some of the people that her friend has grown close to over her college career. It’s kind of awkward writing this post, as some of them will read it, but it’s on my mind [...]
That’s right, I hereby declare this day, June 17th, “National Thank Your Commenter Day.” You guys are basically the life force that keep me blogging, carrying on the conversation to a level that I cannot do alone, you guys make my blog worth reading. Often times we don’t think about the commenting section as the [...]
I really need to quit with the dualist titles. After a conversation with my best friend about the film and this post, I feel I should clarify- Take this more as a review than an indictment on those who liked it, or the entirety of the genre in general. My best friend had some other [...]
There are a lot of thinkers out there, there are a lot of tinkerers out there, there are a lot of voices that don’t always have a platform to speak from out there, and there is a lot to learn from all of those people. My hope is via “Open Table Theology” to bring some [...]
I worked a ten hour shift yesterday, then went to a bachealor party last night, so I didn’t have a chance to write out the roundup for the week. (Though, to be honest, I probably could have done it yesterday, I’m probably just lazy). First up, my friend Paul responded to my post on becoming [...]
They haven’t updated the main website but, according to the facebook group page, we will be meeting Tuesday night at Johnnie MacCrackens, 7:00. If last months meeting was of any indication, showing up a tad bit earlier than 7:00 will probably be of great benefit. If there are as many people as there were last [...]
This is an email I recieved from an old friend last weekend. I’m going to post my response here as well, as I think these are good questions that show some more insight into my life/thoughts/faith. So I noticed you’re into all the Emergent stuff. I’ve been interested in this whole movement for a few [...]
Note: I’ll keep this to religion, today, but these ideas can certainly (and probably will be by me) expounded out to America and our politics. There seems to be a bit of confusion between belief and certainty, and there relationship to faith. Faith, for many in the circles I grew up in, requires certainty to [...]
I was told recently that my habit of questioning everything is corrosive to my life. At first, I was a little taken aback at the time and kind of laughed it off, now that I’ve spent some time thinking about it, I’m going to say that person was quite wrong about the whole situation. (And [...]
