Some really great musings on what's wrong with the evangelical church (and why we should love it and stick it out anyway). Here's a good introduction to where he's coming from .
Anne continues to upload wedding photos to her Flickr account and we should be getting the whole batch before too much longer...
Well, after this past weekend we can finally walk around most of the condo again. Most of our wedding gifts are put away and there has been much reorganization, donations to Salvation Army and the traditional post-wedding buying of the furniture. In our...
Interesting blog post today about Rev. Richard Cizik, head of the Washington office for the National Association of Evangelicals. This guy rocks and he gets it about environmental issues. And it's just icing on the cake for me that he is pissing James...
With planning the wedding, life has been even crazier than usual, so I haven't had a ton of time to blog. So just a few quick updates on various odds and ends. Really enjoying the new Patty Griffin Children Running Through album a lot. If it's possible...
So in his latest harebrained scheme, our magnificent ass of a president and his Legion of Doom have decided in their infinite wisdom that all the war in Iraq needs is more soldiers. This is the equivalent of putting another story on your house after you...
So I was walking to work this morning and over by the river someone had put out a big pile of feed pellets for the pigeons. what the heck are they thinking feeding these birds sky rats? Who are they ... PETA-wannabees ... thinking they are being kind...
So Monday I had one of those exercise stress echo tests. Due to the major bad voodoo in my mom's side of the family for heart disease (Grandfather dead from heart attack, uncle dead from heart attack, you get the picture) and mom's heart surgery last...
That's right, Kristin and I are engaged. Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning we went on our 4th edition of the LATE ride . The LATE ride is a early AM bikeride through various parts of Chicago that benefits the Chicago Park System and generally draws...
I have to admit I'm a bit of a conspiracy buff here and there. It's kinda interesting tracking through the inconsistencies around major events like the JFK assassination, Waco, etc. But ever since the events of 9/11, there have been a lot of things about...
This past weekend Kristin and I were in Buffalo for our friends' Sean and Becky's wedding. Although I can't say I'm a big fan of Buffalo, we had a really good time and got to meet some cool new friends. Here are some highlights of the weekend: Meeting...
If you've ever wondered why I'm such a huge N.T. Wright fan, look no further than this great article talking about the problems of The DaVinci Code. It's also a great introduction to the core themes of Wright's theology, for those of you who don't have...
Over the last year, I've been casting an increasingly worrisome eye at my Comcast bill, which just keeps creeping up every 6 months or so. I have both cable modem and a digital package with HD, so I'm embarassed to say my bill runs over $100 a month easy...
I'm currently trying to get my credit card paid off (again) as well as my car loan. I have a pretty good awareness of how long credit card debt can hang around if you don't attack it aggressively, but sometimes it's hard for people to think about. This...
Yesterday it started snowing around 2PM and snowed pretty hard until late into the evening and we ended up getting about 6-8 inches. Just my luck, Kristin and I had to drive somewhere after work and we fully expected it to be a pain, but we at least expected...
