Tribute to the True Green Lantern 2008-06-04 23:54:46 When I was seven, I was totally into Batman. That was because reruns of the 60's TV show played every afternoon. (My sister and I actually had to take turns on that time slot-The Partridge Family was on another channel.) I had daydreams about the batcave, batmobile, and sliding down that cool firehouse pole.
The following year, 1978, the character of choice was Superman, because of the movie. (I Read more:Green

Testimonies on SermonAudio.com 2008-06-04 23:50:46 At work, if I need something to listen to in the background, I sometimes go for music, but I really enjoy finding something on SermonAudio.com. I've found lots of good sermons, but overall it can be a mixed bag.
Because there are different denominations, there are of course different ideological leanings, because churches and radio programs all over the world submit the media. You get the feel-goo
George Carlin and Facing Eternity 2008-06-26 01:03:55 Unless you hadn't heard by now, GeorgeCarlin
died Sunday. I'm not going to go into his life story or how he was such a landmark figure for comedy or any of that other stuff almost every blog or news site gives you.
Sure, I really liked his stuff. I really liked him when I was an atheist, but I still like him now, although I don't like some of his act. Back then, I would say, "He's someone w Read more:Facing

That Looks Nothing Like Jesus! 2008-06-26 01:03:28 Julie's brother sent us this email:
Hey Julie and Mark, I was just sitting in my chair listening music and I thought that you might like to hear this song. I do not like most of the pictures because we do not know what Jesus
looked like, but this is one my favorite songs.
The first thing that came to mind was, "But has he seen the painting of a muscular Jesus with a tattoo and blue jeans Read more:Looks

God Gives Grace, but What's the Catch? 2008-06-26 01:02:56 This morning as I was hauling the garbage can out to the alley (trash day!), a song popped into my head that I hadn't heard for a few months: "Your Grace
is Enough" from a Promise Keepers worship CD.
I know it is a reference to Paul and his coming to terms with the things that make him imperfect, but I really started thinking about using grace as a crutch, a bare minimum to always fall Read more:Catch
Does Your Church Try to Ignite a Spark? 2008-07-02 23:29:45 In our search for a new church, we have been blessed that most of the sermons have really spoken to us about what was on our minds. Sometimes its like we were led to where we heard what we needed to hear and experienced what we needed to experience.
When we felt lonely and detached, the people of the church we went to that Sunday or for some event seemed to go out of their way to reach out to us Read more:Church
Super Mario Marathon for Child's Play Raises over $11,000 2008-07-02 23:29:19 This past weekend was one of the most awesome events in gaming and it caught most of us unaware until the last minute.
Three friends got together to play seven SuperMario
games all the way through. You might think, "So what? That's not such a big deal." They also played them nonstop and in live streaming video on their site to raise money for Child's Play, a charity that donates toys, g Read more:Marathon

How to Simulate Shipboard Life at Home 2008-07-28 13:25:39 First off: I did not write this little list. When I was in the Navy, this was one of those things that floated around the ship for who knows how long. The copy I saw was set on a typewriter and photocopied (poorly) so many times it was barely readable. In order to preserve its contents, I typeset it into a nice neat little brochure and made probably a hundred copies. Yesterday I was looking though
You're Under the Gun So You Take It on the Run - What is It with War Criminals? 2008-07-24 00:30:17 Okay, so, imagine you're some big and mighty political leader or maybe a military officer. Then let's say you want to commit some crimes against humanity, try your hand at genocide, pretend the Geneva Convention doesn't exist, or anything else that comes to your warped little mind. You're pretty brave and stuff, because you think nobody can touch you. What's a person to do when he's left to his ow Read more:Criminals
Marc Sells Out and the Happiness of the Now 2008-07-24 00:29:35 This last Friday I took that leap I refused for so long: I created a MySpace page.
The first thing I did after I set up the account and added some info was to look up old high school classmates. You know, see who all went to Chappell High around the same time I did and maybe see how they're doing.
Then I started wanting to have that connection to the past again. Not in the sense of wishing to re
John Lennon: The Beatles a Christian Band? 2008-07-17 16:20:10 Okay…the…what? I don’t get it either.
All this time we were supposed to all be under the impression that John Lennon
was some sort of self-important egotistical anti-God commune-living Monkee-listening macrobiotic hippie.
I don’t know about all the rest of it, but evidently we were wrong about the anti-God part.
According to a 1969 interview, being broadcast for the first time ever on BBC Read more:Beatles

Give it a Rest, O'Brien 2008-08-14 00:34:27 I just read this morning that Richard O'Brien is dragging out the tired, abused carcass of Rocky Horror yet again.
I don't mean the same way he's always done it: by having another anniversary or convention or party or some such in which he dons the makeup and yellowed, battered prosthetic back-hump.
No, this time he's planning a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Artists Who Passed Away Far too Young and Doubts in Myself 2008-08-14 00:26:18 Yesterday, I was in the basement with my boys. While they were playing a game on our old computer, I started thumbing through some of our art books to get some sort of inspiration. One of them, a sort of A-Z of artists, got me really interested.
I had taken many art history courses in college, but I didn't really pay a lot in attention to the details. I was still a young punk and the stuff that i Read more:Artists

Kids' Meals Aren't Good for Kids 2008-08-07 00:59:45 According to a recent study, evidently most kids' meals in restaurants are high in calories.
Wait a second. Let me soak this in for a second. What they are saying is that restaurants, whose functions are to feed us, and usually on an assembly line, are feeding our children things that might make them fat? I just don't believe it!
Are they trying to insinuate that cheeseburgers, fries, other fried Read more:Meals
Christian Music: Where Can I Find a Place to Rock? 2008-08-07 00:42:47 When you think of Christian
music, what do you think of?
Do you imagine some guy with glazed-over eyes playing an acoustic guitar while his equally glazed-over wife stands nearby with a tambourine? Are they both smiling with perfect white teeth? Are they singing something along the lines of Kumbaya?
Or do you think of the songs "Amazing Grace" or "How Great Thou Art"? You know Read more:Music

Christianity: Burnin' Up 2008-08-28 00:16:51 When I first accepted the notion of God and then turned to Christ, I was a man obsessed. Like most things we feel strongly about, when we first get involved it drives everything. ALL aspects of my life revolved around God, reading the Bible, changing everything about myself to this new life, and getting more involved with the church we went to.
But, most things I really really get into suck up gas Read more:Christianity
Concerning the Olympics: Internet, You Make Me Angry 2008-08-21 00:44:31 This is the first time in my life that I've really gotten into the Olympics
. I've never been into sports, but I've been watching the Olympics every night and getting excited.
We root for the Americans, of course, but Julie and I also root for the underdogs and those that have overcome a lot, both in their lives and previous events. There's a lot of emotion in our house between 7pm and whenever th Read more:Internet
