Cheesy 80’s Christian Music
Monday, February 28th, 2005The title was an attention getter. I do not consider this album cheesy 80’s christian music. I consider this some of the best (only good?) Christian music ever written. Rich Mullins, (as many of you know) is my all-time favorite Christian artist (though I must say Derek Webb and David Crowder are […]
Proverbs 28
Monday, February 28th, 2005“If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable.”
-Proverbs 28:9
This verse has particular interest to me as a worship leader. If we “new testamentize” it… if we aren’t obeying Christ’s teachings and commands, and yet sing praise songs on Sunday morning, that is DETESTABLE (some translations: an ABOMINIATION, yes […]
Free iPod explained
Thursday, February 24th, 2005Okay, so a little clarification on the Free iPod thing.
What do you have to do to help?
If you want to help me get a free iPod, you need to click this link (or the one above) and sign up for an account with freeiPods.com. Check NO or decline ALL of their product offers until you get […]
Lego Nancy
Thursday, February 24th, 2005Couldn’t resist.
Okay fine, this is a little more realistic: (compare to This photo on our flickr page…)
Help Matt get a free iPod!
Thursday, February 24th, 2005Why should you help me with this? You probably shouldn’t. It takes about 5 minutes of your time, and you might have to sign up for an advertising thing (like a free credit card or credit report or somethign).
But if 5 of you do it, I get a free iPod. No joke. […]
Lone Strangers as Legos
Thursday, February 24th, 2005Matt as Lego…
Thursday, February 24th, 2005Got this from Scott Fiddlke (a fellow university web developer and friend of Tony’s).
Build thyself
UPDATE - After playing around a little more, I think these are bit more accurate.
Acrophobic.
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I about threw up just THINKING about this. Tennis game on a helipad, in mid-air.
Agassi vs. Federer 1000 (give or take) feet up.
Update: found This Article with a bit more info. Apparently they are ONLY 700 ft up. The Hotel sounds nice… (the most luxurious in the world… 7 stars). Maybe […]
Love, baby. Love.
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005Last Friday I gave a followup message to my epic Dating lecture… (snicker).
This one is perhaps a little less controversial and maybe a bit of a no brainer if you’ve been around awhile, but hey, it’s only 30 minutes. Give it a listen :) Sorry, I don’t have as clear of an outline […]
The Devil’s music?
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005Fascinating. Korn’s guitarist “got saved”…
From their official Web site.
“Korn has parted ways with guitarist Brian Head Welch, who has chosen the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end. Korn respects Brian’s wishes and hopes he finds the happiness he is searching for.”
Death and Taxes
Monday, February 21st, 2005Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
Proverb of King Solomon.

Monday, February 21st, 2005This is eerie. It was as if i was if I was listening to myself talk…
To die for
Thursday, February 17th, 2005Adam asks himself a really good question (and thereby asks his blogosphere).
It is a question born out of a crisis of faith, of trying to figure out where he fits.
“What did people in the early church believe so much so that they were willing to be thrown to the lions?”
I have a feeling that part […]
LIVESTRONG, DIESAVED
Wednesday, February 16th, 2005The following post is a comment I posted on Todd’s blog about DIESAVED bracelets. It started an… interesting conversation.
I had an interesting realization reading through these posts.
I dislike the LIVESTRONG bracelets. Have ever since they came out. I even asked my wife to stop wearing hers. Why? Because Lance Armstrong divorced his wife to […]
1000th Comment!
Wednesday, February 16th, 2005Congratulations to MEGAN BLAIR who was my 1000th commenter!
Unfortunately, she already owns a copy of the fabulous prize, so I’ll think of something.
On a different note, several conversations/situations today have reminded me of the song “Noise Brigade” by Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I have no idea why.
Without any training it’s pouring, it’s raining. Training or a […]

Dating 3
Sunday, February 13th, 2005Apparently, I wasted a lot of time last week. I should have just stood up, Read this and sat down.
Also, we are approaching 1000 comments on this site. I am pretty heavily considering a fabulous prize for the 1000th commenter. Just FYI.
Matt on Dating
Sunday, February 13th, 2005Well, I got through it, my message on dating ended up going 50 minutes, which was 20 minutes too long.
I hate having no idea how it came out. Most of the time all you hear is the positive feedback, but for a message on this topic, you never really hear negative feedback. […]
