This is an M4 A2 assault rifle. I really, really want one…

Noel posted an interesting Quote by Stanley Hauerwas on the Church

What we call “church” is too often a gathering of strangers who see the church as yet another “helping institution” to gratify further their individual desires. One of the reasons some church members are so mean-spirited with their pastor, particularly when the pastor urges them to look at God, is that they feel deceived by such pastoral invitations to look beyond themselves. They have come to church for “strokes,” to have their personal needs met. What we call church is often a conspiracy of cordiality. Pastors learn to pacify rather than preach to their Ananiases and Sapphiras. We say we do it out of “love.” Usually, we do it as a means of keeping everyone as distant from everyone else as possible. You don’t get into my life and I will not get into yours. -Stanley Hauerwas

Anyone in need of a slightly broken, though mostly working laptop? The screen is a little messed up, but other than that, it works nicely. Check the description out. Thanks, Russ for putting this up for me.

Bid on Matt’s old laptop

Pentium III 1.06ghz CPU 512 meg RAM 30 gig hard drive DVD/CD-RW Combo drive Floppy drive Modem/Network/USB/IR/TV-Out/Parallel/Firewire/VGA/PS2 ports

The screen has 5 dead stripes on it, and the AC adapter is a little fritzy, but everything else is great.

Some are dying off, but I predict this one is going to be big. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the newest notourhome.com blogger:
