Even Today We Need Him
Pope Benedict XVI’s Christmas Day address is quite beautiful and resounding. Here it is translated from the Italian: Pope’s ‘Urbi et Orbi’. …How can we not hear, from the very depths of this humanity, at once joyful and anguished, a heart-rending cry for help? …Today “our Saviour is born to the world”, for he knows […]

I’ve Been Tagged By Pastor Phil!
There is a nasty game of “tag” going on through the blogosphere. I didn’t get to the “safe” zone near the swings fast enough and I’ve been made “it.” (I never was the fast one.) Pastor Phil in Salem has threatened me (with every known spiritual law) that I must post 5 things you may […]

Intoxicated with the Glorious Unveiling
Frank Viola’s article in The Ooze this week really stirred me today. His article is refreshingly confessional about how he’s been infatuated with so many spiritual things flowing from Jesus, rather than Christ himself. It’s made me reflect on how often I miss Jesus in the midst of all of the Jesus-stuff: the working for […]

Euro-centric Travelista
Brian, Carla, and Phil’s blogs each have lured me into doing this World 66 where-I’ve-been-map. (B, C, and P are all 24-7 prayer folk in Europe. When I grow up I want to be like them.) It seems that I need to visit a continent other than Europe. But, I agree with Phil, I think […]

Post-its on the Side
So, I’ve added some interactive-ness at the end of the sidebar. >>>Uno. Pacman. Because it was my favorite game in 1984. (You play it with your computer’s arrow keys. There weren’t mice around when Pacman started.)>>>Due. Joel News Headlines (aka. Global-News-Your- Newspaper-Missed”) Because God is doin’ good stuff ’round the globe, and you’re probably missin’ […]

So Rich, Am I
Here’s a snappy little site that calculates how rich you are, in proportion to the rest of the world’s population: Global Rich List. It’s a quick glance to see how we could help others by giving, even giving just a little at a time. (For example, $73 could buy me a new mobile phone OR […]

Net Neutrality Nuked by The Man?
It seems inevitable. The Man’s gonna nuke the neutrality of the net! (Clearly, The Man reads Time magazine and wants to make a buck.) Consider this: the internet could be one of the only “spaces” in the global economy that is an equal-playing-ground for every Voice. (And when I was a skeptical little high schooler, […]

Confessions in Salem
This is a remarkably beautiful story from Pastor Phil in Salem, Mass. Especially if you’ve read Miller’s Blue Like Jazz. Here’s a quick excerpt from the post, One Big Sorry Church: It was no new idea…James was the one with the idea of trying it in Salem over the weeks of Halloween events, and I […]

How to Spend $15 @ Borders
Today I received a $15 Christmas gift card to Borders (thanks Ernest and Tammy!). Since I only have t-minus 20 days until my next Fuller-online class, I decided I needed to make this non-academic reading purchase pronto. I brought a stack of books to my table to peruse, grabbed a cup of Seattle’s (probably not […]

YOU are Time’s Person o’ 2006
(If I had a mirror in jpeg form, I’d insert it above.) This just in. If you’re reading this, you deserve some sort of cheesy, shiny trophy. Or just take the accolade that you got the same award that Bill Gates, Bono, and “the American soldier” have toted in years past. (Or, be offended because […]

Jewel Cases Piled High
Since finals are over for my Fuller online course, I’m working on numbers 3, 5, and 17 of my How to Rest in America list. My latest adventure includes emptying every CD case I own, recycling the plastic cases, and making the liner notes into recycled stationary. (Coming soon to a mailbox near you.) Since […]
