Speak with Authority
Friday, October 26th, 2007I love this poem. I found it (and thought I linked to it, though apparently not) a couple years ago somewhere. It’s great to hear it spoken. This man is a word smith. Preachers take note. In 3 minutes he give a coherent, compelling, memorable, important thought.
“Totally Like Whatever” by Taylor […]
Common Grace: Budgets, Schedules, and Weight Watchers
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007I am a terrible money manager, am even worse at time management, and have zero discipline when it comes to eating. Contrast this with the fact that I am blessed with a good income, have very flexible time commitments, and access to any and all food I could want.
Not a good combination.
The end result […]
Inspiration Revisited
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007My last post on inspiration needs some follow-up, I think. My intention was to speak to inspiration with regards to skill-sets and art. People I look to when I am trying to discover how better to do something (like make web sites, sing and lead a band, or preach). But there is […]

U2 - The Fly
(The above quote has little to do with this article other than it’s by one of my inspirations, and it’s about art and inspiration :-D)
Every artist has their inspirations. Almost […]

My Review, A Little Late: David Crowder Band - Remedy
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007I love The David Crowder Band. I love pretty much everything they do. They are the most innovative band operating in the Christian ghetto wing of the music industry these days, and probably rank up there in the wider world of the music industry as well.
I haven’t ranted and raved about the new […]
Charles Wesley: And Can It Be
Friday, October 5th, 2007And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can […]
