I came across these “Parodies of the Mac/PC commericals from Community Christian Church.” I am in doubt as to whether I agree with the theology that seems to be behind them (their closing tag is “Christian no more”) but they are clever and I certainly want to be hip like […]

“Christ-follower not Christian”: Mac Ad Parodies

I also want to note that Alex Golub’s article brings up one point that I have made often and yet do not see discussed in theological terms very much (if at all). The original grounding event of the Last Supper thus becomes the source of a metaphorical identification. This is […]

You lose some more.  Still Spamming, After All These Years Still Spamming, After All These Years Three years ago, Bill Gates made one of his boldest predictions: The problem of junk e-mail, he said, would be solved by 2006. Of course, with fewer than thirty days left in the calendar year […]

You lose some…

Last night the server at my host went down. This was the first time in over two years that this has happened to me! I called and reported the problem and within a few hours it was back up! I highly recommend 1and1 folks. It is very reasonable: $2.99 per […]

Down but not Out

TWO HOLY MEN AND . . . A CAT If, as Annie Lamott s… If, as Annie Lamott says, “laughter is carbonated holiness,” Steve Carrell is surely a holy man. (Via The Dude Abides.) The link to donate is here.

I am not sure how I missed This article at Inside Higher Ed from Nov. 2, but it is great! Not only do I (more or less) agree with what he says, it is very witty and has some of the best one liners. He begins: Inside Higher Ed’s recent […]

“Christianity: You’re Soaking in It”

We are about an hour out of San Francisco now and I have read an article, watched a movie (Little Miss Sunshine), listened to several podcasts, and watched (on the iPod) the Battelstar Galactica primer that was (is?) a free download from iTunes Store. A few stray and random thoughts […]

Random Notes from 36,000 ft.

I will be out of town on bidness for the next few days; headed west into the sun. Blogging may be spotty, with a slight chance of flurries.

On the Road

Once again, Studio 60 delivers a great show. This time Matthew Perry’s character is “a Jew and the only one who cares that its Christmas” (paraphrase) and insists on putting on a Christmas show. The finale is a group of NOLA musicians playing Oh Holy Night while images of the […]

This is from one of our student bloggers at engage.shc.psu.edu/students. The title is in reference to Christian music (not my moniker) and, I don’t think Adam will mind my saying, the entry is somewhat surprising coming from this individual. 😉 All I can add is “Amen, amen!” CHRISTIAN ROCKS I […]
