Social Lubricant

Gabe Lyons - opening keynote for the Internet Ministry Conference made this observation...
The internet is the new beer


Meaning - it takes away the inhibitions and promotes a lack of consequence for one's actions.

Since I don't drink, I guess facebook is now my vice?

Not Ashamed

One of the biblical writers, Paul, wrote in his Roman letters:
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Romans 1:16 - New International Version (NIV) Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society


Paul couldn't have anticipated this "Sonseed" moment.



There are tons of embarrassing moments in Christianity. The Crusades and the Inquisition come to mind... While I didn't have anything to do with the methodical torture and killing of Jews, nor a holy war against our Muslim brothers, I do play bass in the band at church.

I would like apologize in advance for 30 years from now when someone looks back at what we do and mocks. I'm sure we'll deserve it.

- Thanks to my sweet Sister in-law Michele for passing this one along.

Tow This

Who gets to tow that? I imagine they will call the towing company next door to tow its own truck.

I live next door to a towing company and they often park their trucks right outside my windows. I've never complained, but they are loud. When these police order signs went up, I was very thankful, and the street was bare for... gosh... at least the weekend. Today, they started parking out there again.
