A friend tipped me off that there is a great bloglink on my friend’s blog Fisher of Men to another blog that must be a smart guy, because he thinks like me. 8-) Seriously, though, it is a wonderful blog and is definitely going on my “to read” list. Check it out, it’s called evtales.
Some of [...]

I’m Turning Into Alan Alda!
Posted in Coffee, Insipidity on June 27, 2007 | 8 Comments »
This morning I’m at Coffee Times Coffee in Lexington, a great, groovy little coffee house (thanks Skubalon Head for the tip on this place!). The featured coffee that I’m drinking is the FTO Blend.
What’s FTO stand for? Ugh.
FT= Free Trade.
O= Organic.
I’m turning into a soft, squishy, sensitive guy… drinking socially responsible earth friendly coffee!!
And, I’m eating [...]
Every Man’s Battle
Posted in Book Reviews, Church, Religion on June 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Just finished reading “Every Man’s Battle” by Arterburn and Stoeker. First of all, I’m glad to finally know where the term “bouncing your eyes” comes from, as well as understanding exactly what it means now. Second, I HIGHLY recommend this book for any man. I’ve found that a lot of books dealing with sexual purity [...]
When God Builds a Church: Truth
Posted in Church, Religion, Sermons on June 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Next in the series based on Bob Russell’s points in his book by the same name. I’m not 100% happy with this one, but it ended up preaching better than it looked on paper. Thank God the Holy Spirit is there when we preach!
Gilding the lily.

Ok, so you are probably wondering how a bunch of hip cats like me and the wife spend a wild Saturday evening, aren’t you? Oh, you might think that we go to Club 54 or eat at La Maison Poopoo or go rock climbing or cliff diving, but no, you’re not thinking exciting enough.
Here’s how [...]
eConfession is Good for the Soul

My blogosphere friend Rindy who writes Experiencing the Journey has started a new blog with an interesting concept. It’s a place where you can anonymously (or not) share things that you have struggled with, are ashamed of, would like to confess, would like to discuss, etc. Think of it as an online confessional booth. The blog [...]
Missed Opportunity?

I feel really bad. I was at the local Christian bookstore and while looking at a shelf of books I overheard a conversation in the next aisle. The little lady who works in the store was talking to a teen-aged guy. The conversation went like this:
Lady: “Well, the bible DOES say it’s a sin, have [...]
Sermon: When God Builds a Church: Excellence
Posted in Church, Religion, Sermons on June 4, 2007 | Comments Off
Here is the third sermon in my latest take on my series “When God Builds a Church” based on the 10 things that Bob Russell identifies in his book of the same name (again, this is not a rip-off of a Bob sermon, I’m just using his points).
This one is on excellence: something that more [...]
False Conversions
Posted in Church, Religion on June 4, 2007 | 12 Comments »
My post about the power team guys and cyclical vomit’s comment in response got me thinking about the “conversions” at mass evangelism events. Is there anything wrong with these kinds of conversions? You know what I’m talking about: an event is held– a Crusade, rally, concert, powerteam Gospel explosion, magic show, Llamas for Christ, whatever– [...]
