a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
I hate going to the gym. Can’t stand it, really. The only time I get excited about working out at the gym is when I am so sick of how out-of-shape I am it motivates me to get there with hope and optimism that I will finally be consistent.
Well, I’ve found a key for me. [...]
After watching much of last night’s debate, my choice to vote third party was strengthened. I can’t believe these two are our choices for president. One of these two men will be president next year. Neither are a good choice for America.
I’m voting for the libertarian candidate, Michael Badnarik. Do I think Badnarik would make [...]
This may well be a record for consecutives days posting for me, though I must confess it has a lot to do with “Nucleus” my blogging software. It has made it very easy for me to do two things: 1, I can write a post and schedule it to appear on a certain day, and [...]
I’ve kind of waited to post this, but I want to write it down so I don’t completely forget the details. Not that I’ll be forgetting any time soon.
Last Thursday, I was running a little late to a chiropractor appointment (just started seeing one, and so far it’s been a great move). Well, I was [...]

Something I thought might be of interest to some of you who visit.
Here’s what I think: I don’t really care. I think the Christian right has gotten so offended and sidetracked that they’ll say this thing is the real problem. I thought it was [...]
So is it really a wasted vote to vote third party? I don’t think so.
Was it a wasted vote to vote for Walter Mondale over Ronald Reagan when it was clear he didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell to win? That is the reasoning of why you are throwing away your vote for a [...]
One key thing I think is being “left behind” in all of the emerging/postmodern whatever you want to call it conversation is… the fact that we are eternal beings. With the abuses in eschatology rampant in the church, we seem to prefer to focus almost completely on the here and now. This focus is [...]
As I blogged yesterday, I had a great read out of Shaped by the Word. Thinking about spiritual formation spurred a great conversation (sitting on the beach in Venice :]). Sometimes, articulating your thoughts help you process your own beliefs. I think this is part of the reason blogging has taken off. Not only do [...]
As I posted earlier, I looked into Robert Mulholland’s book, Shaped by the Word. I am only three chapters in, but I must recommend this book thus far.
Today, I was reading in the third chapter, “The Nature of Spiritual Formation.” Two main things I have drawn out of this chapter to meditate on throughout the [...]
Okay, I went on vacation to Vegas. It was a good time hanging out with my parents who flew in for my aunt’s 60th birthday party.
So, the break in blog posting is not a sign I am reverting to my old ways of sporadic posting, I was just out of town…
I am now extremely motivated [...]
