I’m On tumblr
Yeah, so I got a tumblr. I’m not sure what tumblr is yet, I’ve just been sharing cool thoughts (usually other peoples’) on it. I haven’t been blogging much, but if you’re interested in, say, cool or funny things that have caught my eye on the interwebz, check out my tumblr which is available at [...]
“Jesus Loves Porn Stars” X3TV Episode 20
xxxChurch, a ministry that serves sex workers and those who may be afflicted with lust issues, took a trip to a pornography convention. They set up a kiosk among the sex toys and scantily-clad women, and handed out Bibles, stickers, and more importantly, love and prayer. This is what I think Jesus meant by the [...]
A Song of Ice and Fire: My fourth re-read!
So, I blogged about this a while back. George RR Martin’s series, “A Song of Ice and Fire.” Even on the fourth time around, it was sheer awesomeness with an extra helping of epic-sauce. My last post about ASoIaF was August 28, 2008, on the old domain name. What did I have to say about [...]
Are we ignoring child abuse?

On Ethics, Morality, and Manhood

Yahoo! App and 360 Importer
We’ve got two Yahoo! related news items today.
The first is that we’ve launched a Yahoo! 360 importer (listed in your admin screens under Tools → Import) to make migration from 360 to WordPress.com super easy. Just upload the Yahoo! 360 export ZIP file, and we’ll do the rest. Yahoo! will be shutting down their 360 service soon, so if you have any friends over there feel free to give them a little help and encouragement to head over to WordPress.com
The Social Gospel
Jesus is the Good News, and we are ordained by Him to share it. Do we, as the body of Christ, go out into the world of non-believers bearing love and Good News? Or do we go spreading something else?
