Happy Halloween! he he he
I really need to quit going to the Emergent No blog. About once every two or three weeks I’ll take a visit, usually to get a good laugh. But today, they just pissed me off.
But as we’ve seen, they are using 1,000 year old Western Romanism as well as pagan ways [...]
This is the first of a series of blog posts where I’ll look at why there’s an emerging church. With each issue, I’ll include a look at the practical matter of church structure and how it relates to the issue.
Knowledge
The way people view knowledge has changed. There is a questioning of what we can know [...]
This nice 7-layer emergent cake frames the conversation well for those entering the emerging church conversation* from the established church. Of course, I’m not too shocked it stopped short, neglecting the large and growing presence in the Church who have cast off the structure of the establishment as well.

I guess the best way to explain it [...]
I want one!
This pillow seems to also have practical usage. It will monitor your snoring at different pillow heights so you can see how it affects your snoring.
Speaking of snoring… I should be right now. It’s 4:30 a.m. Cali time, and I’m still working. Blah. But at least I had a breakthrough on a very [...]
I just thought it deserved a title post. I don’t know how I missed it yesterday. I watched all of the extra long Cowboys-Seahawks game, and they didn’t report on the dramatic comeback… unless it happened the few times I was out of the room.
At any rate, on Sunday my third favorite team won… whoever’s [...]
Learned a couple of things about the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) today…
For one, the site is owned by Amazon.com. I really didn’t know that. The other, is that it has a Power Search page. Or at least the article I’m referencing says it does. I’m going to start checking that out as I move more [...]
