a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
They did it again. Fox Television canceled a great show without giving it a chance. Point Pleasant had a small, loyal following that would have grown, though it probably never would’ve been a smash hit like such quality programming as the O.C. (please read searing sarcasm). The only good thing about this is that Fox [...]
Well I’m back from good ole Mexico. Some of the insights gained on this trip were pretty amazing (for my own internal world any way). For one, the idea that Mexicans are lazy is almost unilaterally false. At least in B.C. (Baja California), the locals worked long days six days a week. I hear this [...]
I’m off to the pool for some water volleyball… one more day in San Felipe, then it’s back to real life. I’ve needed a vacation. Thank God for generous friends. This trip is just costing me food and drink! And it’s cheaper in Mexico, so I might actually be saving money by vacationing. I’ve had [...]
I’m leaving for San Felipe in a few minutes. Have a wonderful Easter weekend! Podcast will have to be next week, as I doubt I’ll be recording in San Felipe. Of course, it could be the first A Different Perspective international podcast! Something to think about while I’m relaxing at my friend’s parents house in [...]
Million Dollar Baby was worth every penny I didn’t spend to see in the theater My friend needed some work on her computer, and she offered to take me to see this movie as a thanks. I really wanted to see this movie, so I gladly accepted her offer to take me to a movie [...]
The Blog for America revealed this about the Republican hypocrisy on “right to life” issues. I don’t like taking either of the major political parties sides, but there is definitely some hypocrizy going on when a poor black person dies because of a law then Gov. Bush signed in Texas, but a white woman in [...]
The voting was tight. Radical Church Structure held the lead throughout the duration of the poll, and that topic won by one vote over Human Sexuality. So… The next podcast topic will be “Radical Church Structure,” and since this isn’t a political office we’re voting for, the “Human Sexuality” camp won’t be left in the [...]
Sometimes I feel like I’m beating a dead horse, but yet again I must point out the true face of Wal-Mart. Click the title link for an article which shows Wal-Mart has now been fined the largest amount ever for breaking immigration law. Thanks to Rick Bennett and his blog for making me aware of [...]
I’m waiting for about seven more votes on the next podcast topic. You can vote in the poll in the right hand column of the blog if you haven’t done so already! Topics are: Human Sexuality Radical Church Structure Critique, or not to critique Choose your own topic, you lazy bum!
It’s always interesting to me when Christians think censorship of other ideas is the best way to communicate “the truth.”
