Too Mature for Community?

My experience of church is extending well beyond anything I have previously experienced in 28 years as a disciple of Jesus. What’s amazing is that this is not just my experience; it is shared by our church, by my City Group, by our city. And, no doubt, by some of you.

Be Prepared

They could all use some work.

Five Statements We’re Preparing for the Cops:

Well, to be honest, we are a little tipsy.

She didn’t know he was 18.

That moose was asking for it.

Suck it, Trebek.

SF started it.

They’re Here…

And they brought Freebirds. I love my friends.

I’ve found myself recommending a number of good books to people recently. The fact is that we can glean a lot of wisdom and encouragement from authors who have walked in our shoes and done so very thoughtfully. On these topics, the shoe fits!

Holy Pigtails And Pillowfights

For serious. You might not know this, I myself wasn’t even sure of this until verification tonight. But it just so happens there are FOUR girls (three of which I have not met) showing up at my house tomorrow night. I’m thinking of sending MK to BB’s and bringing TB over here for the Cosmos. […]

Fat Tuesday brought a slew of people out to 6th street as Mardi Gras celebrants partied well into the night. There were the usual beads, exposures, and costumes. Plenty of police on hand to ensure saftey. A look alike Johnny Dep was spotted. Se more here.

Gingerman is […]

“Magnificent” articulates Bono’s conviction that his voice was given to him from God for the magnificent One. […]

Free Limo Anyone?

TheRSVPing has begun. I’m just all up on the internet looking up last years parties (totally the first time this blog has been a resource for anyone) and trying to find the new ones. The free ones. The best ones. SXSW’s a little ways a way but sneaks up on us fast so I’m going […]

U2: No Line and New Stuff

Get On Your Boots
The first release off of No Line On the Horizon was sort of disappointing. “Get on Your Boots” is super-pop not vintage U2, but this is something I have come to expect from their first radio releases (Discotheque/Pop, Vertigo/Atomic Bomb, etc). However, the reviews I keep reading hold out the promise of […]

The 50/50 American Gospel

The 50/50 gospel offers salvation via a blend of fifty percent grace and fifty percent good behavior. The cross is no longer expiation of sin but an example of how to live sacrificially. People are good enough to choose Christ but they simply need to be reminded of how good a choice he is. Broken […]
