Freedom and Obesity

Freedom and Obesity

So I was at the grocery store in the frozen food aisle picking up some vegetables. I catch a glimpse of this grossly obese man down the aisle a ways, with ridiculously over-sized sweats hugging his mammoth torso. He was over 400 pounds for sure. He was holding the the door open [...]

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following:
You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it.
I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if anyone [...]

What Would Jesus Brew?

What Would Jesus Brew?

In a bold move toward being more Christ-like I am going to delve into the wondrous world of drink-making… that is, brewing. With the help of a home-brewing kit from my wife I will test my skills at this time-honored tradition, and as a follower of Christ I am excited by the renowned group [...]

Voting Should Be Harder

Voting Should Be Harder

I have come to the conclusion that it should absolutely be harder to vote in a major election. In fact, it should be wicked hard [spoken using a Boston accent].
Why? Because I want elected leaders who have policies that appeal to the movers… to the get-up-and-goers… to the put-the-potato-chips-down, turn-off-Oprah, and-let’s-go-vote-right-now-ers. I [...]

Who Would Jesus Punch?

Who Would Jesus Punch?

Perhaps the title is a little overly dramatic, but the theological consequences are none-the-less important. Recently I have been in discussion with a friend and fellow Christ-follower over what the New Testement says about “turning the other cheek” and whether or not a Christian can rightly defend themselves.
I would be very interested in hearing [...]

Yes, I’m Going To See The Da Vinci Code… Here’s Why

Yes, I’m Going To See The Da Vinci Code… Here’s Why

I am going to see The Da Vinci Code (TDVC) movie as soon as it comes out and I’m able. I am a sincere Christ-follower (an Evangelical Christian) and I don’t believe nearly any of the historical foundation for the story. You may ask, why would you go to this movie then - [...]

The Radical Reformission

The Radical Reformission

There are not many books that I would say are my most-recommended, and indeed ostensibly there should be only one. Well, right now - for my Christ-following readers - the next book you read needs to be the Radical Reformission by Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle. Really… not kidding… read [...]

Gasoline… Why Everyone Has It Wrong

Gasoline… Why Everyone Has It Wrong

Update: It’s been two years since I wrote this, and in light of how much the price of oil is dominating the news lately, I think I need to revisit this… soon.

Talk of gas prices is everywhere. It’s actually beginning to annoy me. Is the media so hard on their luck for a [...]
