I found this on my buddy's blog today…now my wife is worried that I don't exist. You can go to howmanyofme.com and see just how many of you are in the US…sort of. Evidently, you plug in your first and/or last names and it tells you some nifty infomation. For example: For TOM, it says: [...]
Sunday, December 3 marks the birthdays of two influential people in the culture of my life. I'm sending them both birthday cards… Ozzy Osbourne, rock icon… and Jim Richards, Executive Director of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention [...]
If you haven't seen this video on my brother's blog…then go. Now. Even if you don't LOVE U2, this video will move you. Even if you don't love Green Day, this video is powerful. And, yes, if you ARE right with God and love both U2 and Green Day…you'll send me your [...]

("except for ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism, and Communism…WAR has never solved anything") thoughts?
Part One. Part Two. Part Three. “Have you ever had to worry about THIS? I don’t have the muscle strength to lift a FORK to feed myself! If I trip and fall down, how am I gonna get back up?!?! Jesus is still there for me!” yelled Scott. Dave rolled up his other sleeve, [...]
(Part One here) In time, we became inseparable. Mealtimes. Skipping chapel. Late night runs to Whataburger or The Hot Biscuit. Dave and I really connected with each other. Our love of music and philosophy and our disdain for the evangelical bubble of our school were our bonds. I went home for Thanksgiving. Dave stayed in [...]
A few days ago I was up begrudgingly @ 6am, working on my third cup of Halle Berry coffee. I’m sitting in front of my computer screen trying to work up the inertia to get back into my exercise regime, when I stumble back across a blog account of a college girl, Natala, entitled “Jesus [...]
