After Part One and Part Two, there is one thing I still cannot get over.
We can no longer look at people and communities and think that they should simply get an education, work harder, and join our political party of choice. Why? Because according Proverbs 3:27-28, we are not supposed to withold good from someone, [...]

Stop Daylight Savings and End Global Warming
As you know, we were already supposed to change over our collective clocks this past Sunday, but Big Brother decided that we needed an extra couple of weeks of Daylight Savings Time. But it goes further.
TreeHugger Labs ran the numbers and has determined that If DST runs half the year for an hour a day, [...] -
Quotable Monday: 10.29.2007
My allergies are killing me. I can’t breathe. I can’t sing. I can’t talk. I sound like a 70-year-old man who’s been smoking cigars for 69 years, 11 months, and 29 days….kind of like Louis Armstrong. Which got me to thinking about some of the great quotes collected on cigars:

The Justice League, Part Two?
So, after Part One of my rant, I have to consider the fact that The Church is designed to function as the contemporary Hall of Justice (after following in the footsteps of Christ, obviously). Which leads me down this trail:
Proverbs 29:7 says the righteous care about justice, but the wicked do not. Psalm 103 says [...] -
Offline
Beginning Thursday, I will be offline the rest of the week.
Jimmie and I have a dear college and CastMaster friend who lost his mother to cancer this week. I’ll be travelling to far north East Texas for funeral and family activities. Please pray for Kyle and his family.
Also, have been experiencing some whack-job internet problems [...] -
The Justice League, Part One?
Step 1: Watch the amazing Stone Sour video ‘Through Glass’ (above).
Step 2: Read thoughts below.
Step 3: Throw your favorite stones.
Warning: Possible heretical thoughts ahead…maybe. I’m still struggling with parts of this, so bear with me. Since this will likely be a multi-part post (at least 3, I’m sure), please feel free to jump [...] -
The 300
This morning, after logging in my morning run, I tallied up my total miles. As of today, I’ve logged 301 miles this year. Not bad considering I’ve also logged an IT band injury and taken several weeks off during the summer madness of student ministry.
Some online resources I’ve found helpful are below:

Quotable Monday: 10.22.2007
While jogging along last week listening to the Alamo City Podcast, I heard an old college buddy say something that struck a chord within me.
"Religion is where people who’ve lost the courage to be authentic go to be respected."
(-Neil McClendon, speaker and agitator)
I don’t think I have anything to add to that one.

Man On Fire?
Of course, you’ve seen the picture of Pope John Paul II as appeared in the fire.
Evidently it’s been crashing some religious websites from all the hits…Perhaps it wasn’t JP after all. Maybe it was actually Johnny Storm…
But that’s just me. Either way…
‘Flame on!’ -
Manna in the Modern
Our friend (and fellow tomcottar(dot)org lurker) Dana Loran has finally entered the blogoshpere with Looking for Manna in the Modern. I’m sure it’ll run the gamut of everything from following Jesus, to cool interior design ideas to the struggles of a missional young woman…check it out.
