Boing Boing: Drunken gluttons order and eat 100-patty hamburger Now. I’m a fan of In-N-Out (for rest of country outside of Cali, Neveda and Arizona, fast food that is never frozen and always made fresh… the fries are actually cut from potatoes when you order), but this is nuts. And only one person threw up [...]
ginkworld: hurt in process John O’Keefe is asking some good questions about when to let persons continue hurting themselves. When and how to intervene when someone is self-destructive is a complex issue. I hope he posts his thoughts as he processes the questions of the day…
I’m a Chevrolet Corvette! You’re a classic – powerful, athletic, and competitive. You’re all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do. Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

I don’t know if I could’ve even watched a Superbowl if the Broncos were playing. My third favorite team won today. Whoever’s playing the Denver Broncos. (Second favorite team is whoever is [...]

That’s my disclaimer Having said that, N.T. Wright sets forth a refreshing view of the oft discussed 1 Corinthians 8-10 passages on meat sacrificed to [...]

The individual in me is crying out to express himself. When I switched to WordPress a month or so back, I found a cool little template which I made very minor changes to – I just made some font and size changes. I thought the picture was great (and I still do) for the journey [...]
Of all the disciplines I’ve committed to, confession of sins has to be the most difficult. It requires honesty and humility, repentance and faith.
