Found at http://www.theotherjournal.net/: “I’m not mad at liberals who want to perform some procedural form of democracy. What I am upset about are Christians who think that is their primary task in the world in which we find ourselves. And I want them to remember that our first task is to be the church of […]

I just wrote a fairly lengthy entry and then it got lost. So I’m a little upset about that. Oh well. Instead, here’s some quotes from Kenda Creasy Dean in the latest round of articles from youthspecialties.com. Interesting stuff. It’s worth reading the whole article. “In other words, instead of winning teenagers’ trust for the […]

I had something that I wanted to write about, but as I logged on to do it, I totally forgot about what that was. So, in attempt to jump-start my thinking, I’m just going to write. If this goes into nowhere, I’m sorry. But, since no one reads this anyways, I’m only wasting my own […]

Over the past few years, I’ve been adding books to my amazon.com wish list that I eventually want to buy. As I take all of these cool classes at school and hear about good books in class and from other people (or stumble upon them myself), I put them on my list so one day […]

Well, I guess that it was only a matter of time before this happened. I mean, everyone’s doing it, so why not me? As much as I hate to be a conformist, blogs are an amazing idea. You can post your thoughts and let other people tell you how dumb or brilliant you are. This […]
