Good to know.
I'll skip it.
By the way, I got to you via Alltop. I'm glad I did.

"The Wrestler": High Hopes Dashed On the Sharp Rocks of Puritanical Cliche
The teenaged girl I carry within me who hails from the late 1980s, the one who fuelled her first dirty, heterosexual fantasies with films such as "Nine 1/2 Weeks" and "Wild Orchid" starring a much younger and less bashed-in looking Mickey Rourke, the teenaged girl whose suburban fatigue had ...
I *do* like how you included Palin on both lists. That's partly a story of how someone can fall apart under pressure. I do not fault her; it would take a superhuman person to not fall apart in that position.

The Top Ten Best (and Worst) Communicators of 2008
This Annual List of Top Ten Communicators of 2008 highlights the best (and worst) from business, politics (big this year), entertainment, sports and the professions. Take a look to see how communication skills helped make or break these notable individuals: THE BEST 1. Barack Obama As his s...
You are a trooper to stick with the language-learning! But it's an investment that will keep paying.
Blessings!

Struggling with Dativ and Akkusativ and Der-Die-Das-Den-Dem
I attended German class this morning as usual for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and was honest with the teacher: "It's a total guess for me as to which article to use!" In German it's not just "the" as in English. The dog, the door, the bed, the tables. Easy, right? And it's not as simple as French,...
I appreciate how you emphasized that it's about the client - and not about us, the service providers.

No, no, no, no, NO
The other night, a young, attractive woman handed me a beautifully-designed business card in bold shades of red and black, promoting her new website. She had a charming smile as she handed her card to everyone in the group, saying, "we're trying to grow our audience." No, no, no, no, NO. After a...
Great post!
I wish more leaders would read this. I wish more followers would be frank with their leaders about these issues.

LeaderMan vs. Servant Leader
I've had some people say, effectively, "Dude, you critique leadership, but don't you think you're leading people, too? Aren't you worried about that?" Nah. Not really. Shoot, I'm honored if I'm allowed to lead somebody, if I have an influential role in someone's life. We need leadership -- ...
Aw, c'mon - everyone loves getting a letter (if it's not a bill or junk mail).
I'd love to get one of these bars in the mail!

Chocolove
Who doesn't love chocolate? Chocolove creates premium, organic chocolate. From their website: "The idea was simple - a selection of distinctly flavored chocolate bars made with all-natural ingredients and the classic techniques of Europe's finest chocolatiers. The package design would resemb...
I don't really agree with the quote. I think the Bible simply has many hard to read sections - and most modern people are too lazy to do study that is required to get the most out of a book or passage.
I am thankful for the Bible's complexity. It's one of the things that gives it so many layers of depth.

If the Bible seems too hard...
"We come to a biblical text, raising questions about its relevance to our present daily lives, only to find that the text questions us about our relevance to the way of Christ. ...The thick impenetrable nature of these texts may be by conscious design. A difficult to understand text catches our ...
We can't understand God.
If we did, we'd be God.
I'm not trying to be simplistic - but I think when one tries to understand everything about God and expects that this is possible, there is a problem.

God's Problem is Our Suffering
Terri Gross of NPR's Fresh Air recently interviewed Bart Ehrman, author of God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question--Why We Suffer (also author is Misquoting Jesus). Ehrman was a "born again believer" and is now an agnostic. It's an interview worth hearing as ...
Wow.
Makes me realize how easy I have it.
Sounds like you have been able to overcome. Some.

So call me a pagan... over and out.
Okay- I was an hour and a half into trying to finish my review of Pagan Christianity, but I'm bailing out now. I'm sorry- the Adventure in Missing the Point that this book represents is simply too ridiculous to keep reading, much less put that much effort into writing about. What I hate most a...
Hi!
Found your blog via a google search for "forsake not the gathering". (I was just trying to find the Scripture reference, using the KJV from my childhood memory.)
We returned from 2 years in Kenya in June. We're working for Wycliffe - now in the States.
Be blessed in your ministry!
