The Bible in 90 Days: WHY?
On January 2, 2010, I began the process of reading the Bible through in 90 days using the YouVersion.com online plan. If I stay on track, I’ll finish with Revelation 22 on April 2.
There are certainly other ways to read the Bible other than ‘in 90 days’, but here are the reasons why I’m doing [...] -
Biting Off More Than..
Re-evaluation and change is something I applaud. More quickly in others than myself perhaps… But as 2010 begins, I've resolved to the following commitments. I hope you'll join me.
First, I've committed to calling it 'twenty-ten' or 'two-thousand ten'. But never anything 'oh-ten'. I'm pretty certain we won't refer to 2026 as 'oh-twenty-six', so give up [...] -
2009 Top Impacts: Books
"The only thing you will ever know
is what you see
and what you read."In the past year, I've read (or re-read) a handful of books that are on my 'Keep These Close to You' books.

Below are the top albums of 2009 that have impacted me. Some of them may make someone else's Top Ten list…but some will go relatively unnoticed. They are all very different from each other. So, in no particular order, here they are.
1. The controversial Stockholm Syndrome, from Derek Webb. Perhaps one of the craftiest lyricists [...]

Bark at the BF&M 2000? (again)

Ozzy Osbourne, rock icon…
and Jim Richards, Executive Director of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention
To bring balance to the Force, take time to view lyrics to Ozzy's Bark At The Moon, and those of the Baptist Faith and [...] -
the master creator
george smoot: the design of the universe
I originally found this video at TED and it blew my mind. Footage from the Hubble telescope… pictures that our ancestors only dreamed of… and the crazy possibilities that only a Master Creator could come up with.
Watch and have your head swirl and your picture of the Creator exponentially [...] -
Rearviewmirror
I used to run a little blog over here. (thank you, Zakk Wylde, for inspiration on the title).
I took a little trip down amnesia lane this week and drifted through the pages. And came one click away from completely deleting it altogether. Parts of it are pretty embarrassing. Things I said. Propositions I argued over. [...] -
Creative Genius?
If you write, compose, play, perform, or create in ANY way.. Take 19 minutes to watch this video of Elizabeth Gilbert, author of ‘Eat Pray Love’ as she muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses. It’s a funny and surprisingly moving talk.
What is it about creative ventures that makes us nervous [...]

Israel Uses Twitter to Explain Conflict
When the Israel Defense Forces use Twitter to hold a first-ever governmental press conference, things are a-changin’. Not only was the dialogue open to anyone with a Twitter account, but common text abbreviations were used to stay under Twitter’s 140 character limit.
For example:
Question from peoplesworld: 40 years of military confrontation hasn’t brought security to [...]
