Yes, I feel like I have a lot in common with Tubby, besides the fact that my physique matches his name. Of course, I’m talking about Tubby Smith, beleagured coach of my beloved University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team (second only to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, of course). There is a lot of talk [...]

In Good Company with Bad Reading
Posted in Church, Religion on February 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Update:
Just read the Internet Monk’s admission today that he, too, reads unorthodox books too, in his case, the writings of Marcus Borg, who most evangelicals would call unorthodox, or worse.
Read article here.

I like his reasoning for reading him, too: he would rather read a person in their own words than to read the words of [...]
Refreshing Unorthodoxy
Posted in Church, Religion on February 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
OK, I have a confession to make. There is a part of me that is ashamed to put up a “What I’m Reading Right Now” list. Why? Because I’m reading some pretty unorthodox things. No, I’m not reading “The DaVinci Code” or “Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret” or anything. But, I am reading [...]
Working the night shift.

I used to work at Toys R Us when I was in high school and college, which, by the way, is not nearly as fun as it sounds. You’d think that workers there would run around playing with toys and all like Santa’s elves, but in reality, stacking boxes is stacking boxes, ringing up merchandise [...]
What is Insipid?
Posted in Insipidity on February 25, 2007 | 1 Comment »
While talking to my wife about the meaning of the word “insipid”, it occurred to me that if this blog does nothing else, it will get the rarely used word “insipid” out into public usage. Many people probably don’t even know what “insipid” means, so, as a public service, here is the definition.
in·sip·id (ĭn-sĭp’ĭd) adj.

Why Insipid Garbage?
Posted in Insipidity on February 25, 2007 | 6 Comments »
It occurs to me that I ought to explain the title of this blog: Insipid Garbage. After all, it’s not exactly the most uplifting title for a blog, nor a very good advertisement for the content contained herein. I don’t think I would eat at a restaurant called “Nasty Swill” or go to a doctor [...]
Another Saturday Night

Yup, here it is, another Saturday night, 7:46 PM to be exact, and I’m finishing my sermon. I know, I know, all the preacher-guru types will tell you that this is the height of slackdom and irresponsibility, and that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to bring a great message to God’s people when it [...]
Blame Brandon
Posted in Uncategorized on February 24, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Ok, you all can blame Brandon, affectionately known as BS, for the title of this blog. I had a couple of choices, but he thought that “Insipid Garbage” would be best. He’s seen my stuff, I guess he believes in truth in advertising.And, you can blame him if I post here more. [...]
