This is so bad on so many levels, I would not even know where to start. Please do not allow the comments section to be as badly done as the effort in this video. Not even to mention that this was apparently done in a church service somewhere. Please tell me they broke out the rattlesnakes after this was over. Oh, and I’m about 10,000% sure that this has not been endorsed by Sarah...

The last letter of Bill Zeller
I never met Bill Zeller, the 27 year old Princeton grad student who recently took his life, but I fear his story is all too familiar. The day of his attempt, he posted the following letter on his website and sent it to friends. It is quite lengthy; he apparently had worked on it for quite some time. I’m posting this not because I encourage suicide, nor because I am judging Mr. Zeller for...
‘The Generous Soul: An Introduction to Missional Giving,’ available for pre-order now
I am happy to announce the pre-release availability of my second book, The Generous Soul: An Introduction to Missional Giving. The back cover description: Christians are inundated with books, messages, and larger-than-life personalities all positioned as experts on God’s will regarding finances. Countering the health-and-wealth attitude are those who abhor any suggestion of financial well-being arguing instead for a life of poverty, and the middle ground is dominated by financially passive churchgoers with little...
A recipe for homemade blueberry ice cream
A friend, John Hildebrand, asked me for this recipe after he picked 38 pounds of blueberries last week. I’m happy to share it with the world ;^). It’s based on a simple homemade vanilla recipe that I’ve been using for years. (The picture is not my ice cream; it’s just a sales gimmick.) I use a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer (how do you bake without one??). If you use a hand mixer, you might need...
Manute Bol the radical Christian
I was shocked to hear of the death of former NBA center, Manute Bol. Bol, who at 7′ 7″ towered over all but the tallest of NBA big men, died at the age of 47, the result of a disease contracted in his home country of Sudan. Recently, Jon Shields of the Wall Street Journal, authored an article entitled, “Manute Bol’s radical Christianity,” which explored the embarrassingly overused concept of redemption as it is...
Introducing Sam Raynor, artist
One of the most sickeningly talented artistic people I know is Sam Raynor of Gainesville, GA. I was her pastor for a number of years until she married and settled in her college town, but have always been blessed by her life and work. Recently she finalized a website to display her various styles of art including water color and graphic art. She designed the cover for my book (which can be viewed here,...
The righteousness He requires
Yesterday I stood with other believers and sang It Is Well With My Soul. We were doing the version with the updated chorus: It is well; it is well. Through the storm I am held. It is well, it is well with my soul. We arrived at one of the later verses and sang: My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought; my sin, not in part, but the whole is nailed to...
Jennifer Knapp on Larry King live (video)
Last night on Larry King Live, recording artist Jennifer Knapp discussed her recent coming out as a lesbian. This likely would have made about as big a splash as Wanda Sykes recent announcement, which is to say almost none, except that Knapp was for several years, before taking a five year hiatus, an artist in the Christian music industry. The above clip was the longest that could be found this soon and, apparently, is...
Hank Johnson proves right: Without warning, Guam capsizes during beach party
Georgia Representative Hank Johnson’s fear about Guam was fully realized at 2:00 pm local time yesterday, April 2, as it suddenly capsized after a beach party attracted too many residents. The shifting of weight caused the western side of the island to lift and, with the majority of the 178,000 population on the eastern side, caused a flipping over with all residents either thrown into the ocean or drowned under the upside down land...
Stressed? Under pressure? You’re not alone
Stressed out? Does the weekend bring as much anxiety as Monday? Do you dread the alarm clock for more reasons than being a night-owl? You are not alone. Consider these recent items from the April 2010 edition of Fast Company magazine: According to a psychological survey done in 1938 and again in 2007, anxiety and mental-health issues are 5 times more common now among high-school and college students than they were toward the end...
